Indian tech IPO pipeline swells as startups eye 2025 listings | TechCrunch
TechCrunch

India has emerged as a bright spot for tech IPOs, with more than 20 startups planning to go public in 2025. Some of the notable startups include Inframarket, Zetwerk, CaptainFresh, UrbanCompany, Bluestone, OneAssist, and Magicpin. This comes as India has shown consistent growth in listings while other major markets like the US and China have experienced a slowdown. The growth in India's capital markets, along with macroeconomic growth and political stability, has contributed to its attractiveness for tech IPOs. Tech companies have significant potential for growth in India, as they account for less than 20% of the Nifty 50 index.

A Deloitte study found that 54% of Indian companies that went public in the last three fiscal years introduced long-term incentives (LTIs) in the form of stock options for key executives. These LTIs were typically offered four years before the initial public offering to retain and motivate executives. The study also identified three types of pre-IPO LTI practices: tech startups granting stock to employees since inception, private equity-backed companies using stock grants for successful listings, and promoter-backed companies giving stock grants close to filing IPO documents. The trend of offering stock options to employees is expected to continue, especially in the tech sector.

Last month witnessed multiple tech startups in India making their debut in the stock market.

The size of IPOs has decreased despite an increase in the number of public listings. Expert opinions indicate that startups with unique business models or a first-mover advantage tend to attract more investors.
