Bluestone Jewellery and Lifestyle facilitated secondary share transactions worth Rs 443 crore between February and September 2024, allowing early investors to partially exit and late-stage institutional funds to enter ahead of its upcoming IPO, according to its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP). Iron Pillar Fund and Kalaari Capital offloaded part of their stake to 360 One, Peak XV, and Steadview Capital via off-market deals. In February 2024, Iron Pillar sold 3.26 lakh shares to 360 One Large Value Fund for Rs 103 crore, valuing Bluestone at Rs 3,149 per share. In September, Kalaari executed two back-to-back secondary sales, where on September 02, it transferred 4.07 lakh shares to Peak XV Partners for Rs 220 crore, and later on September 26, it sold 2.22 lakh shares to Steadview Capital for Rs 120 crore. Both deals were priced at Rs 5,403 per share. These secondary transactions were already disclosed in the company’s DRHP filed in December 2024. Bluestone is reportedly targeting a valuation of around Rs 7,800 crore in its upcoming initial public offering (IPO). In the updated RHP, Bluestone revised its IPO size, where it trimmed the fresh issue to Rs 820 crore from Rs 1,000 crore, and reduced the Offer for Sale to 1.39 crore shares from 2.4 crore shares. Investors including Accel, Saama Capital, Kalaari Capital, Iron Pillar, and Sunil Kant Munjal (Hero Enterprise) are part-exiting via the public offer. Founded in 2011 by Gaurav Singh Kushwaha, Bluestone operates 275 stores across over 80 cities and reported Rs 1,770 crore in revenue in FY25, a 40% YoY jump. At the same time, its losses widened 56% to Rs 218 crore. The IPO opens on August 11, with anchor bidding on August 8. Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra Capital, and IIFL Capital are managing the issue.
