PhonePe gets SEBI nod for IPO Walmart-backed digital payments major PhonePe has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to proceed with its initial public offering (IPO), according to sources aware of the development. The Bengaluru-based company had pre-filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) through the confidential route in September last year. PhonePe is reportedly eyeing a fundraise of up to Rs 12,000 crore through the public issue. The proposed IPO is largely structured as an Offer for Sale (OFS), with existing shareholders, including Walmart, Tiger Global, Microsoft and others. The listing could value PhonePe at around $15 billion. PhonePe last raised $600 million through a secondary transaction led by General Atlantic, while its most recent primary capital raise of $100 million came in May 2023, also led by General Atlantic, at a valuation of $12 billion. Operationally, PhonePe has continued to strengthen its dominance in the UPI ecosystem. In December, the company processed 9.8 billion customer-initiated transactions worth Rs 13.61 lakh crore, as per NPCI data. The fintech firm has also pivoted Pincode from a B2C offering to a B2B merchant-focused model, moving away from its original local commerce play launched on ONDC in April 2023. Financially, PhonePe posted 40.5% year-on-year growth in operating revenue, which rose to Rs 7,115 crore in FY25 from Rs 5,064 crore in FY24. Its adjusted profit (excluding ESOP costs) surged nearly fivefold to Rs 630 crore, compared to Rs 117 crore a year earlier.

Infra.Market files confidential DRHP with SEBI for Rs 5,000 Cr IPO Building materials unicorn Infra.Market has filed a confidential Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise Rs 5,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO), according to sources aware of the development. The proposed issue is expected to be a mix of fresh equity shares and offer-for-sale (OFS) by existing investors, in almost equal proportion. The Bengaluru-based firm has taken advantage of SEBI’s confidential filing mechanism, introduced last year, which allows companies to keep sensitive financial and strategic details under wraps until closer to listing. Infra.Market’s move comes just weeks after it raised $83 million in a Series G round led by Silverline Homes, with participation from Tiger Global, Accel, Nexus Ventures, NK Squared, and Evolvence India. Earlier in June, the Bengaluru-based company also secured $150 million in debt funding from Mars Growth Capital. On the financial front, Infra.Market reported a 23% year-on-year jump in revenue to Rs 14,530 crore in FY24, while its profit surged 2.4X to Rs 378 crore. The FY25 numbers are yet to be disclosed. The firm operates in a competitive space with OfBusiness, Zetwerk, and Moglix. OfBusiness clocked Rs 19,296 crore in revenue in FY24, while Zetwerk and Moglix posted Rs 14,436 crore and Rs 4,964 crore, respectively. By opting for the confidential filing route introduced by SEBI last year, Infra.Market joins the likes of PhonePe, Meesho, Shadowfax, PhysicsWallah, Groww, Shiprocket, boAt, and Aequs, which have kept their draft filings under wraps until closer to listing.
