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.

Ola Electric promoter pledges 2.43% stake to secure debt for Krutrim Krutrim has raised approximately $75 million and joined the unicorn club in January 2024. Its investors include Z47 (formerly Matrix), the Sarin Family, and others. Ola Electric’s promoter has pledged 10.71 crore shares, or 2.43% of the company’s equity capital, to raise funds for Krutrim Data Centre, according to a stock exchange filing. The pledged shares account for 8.09% of the promoter’s holdings in the EV maker. The pledge, created in favour of Axis Trustee Services on behalf of Avendus, InCred, and India Credit Opportunities funds, replaces an earlier non-disposal undertaking (NDU) disclosed in December 2024 and March 2025. Ola said the NDU over these shares will be released once the pledge process is completed. The development comes months after the expiry of lock-in over a portion of promoter shares under SEBI’s listing rules. Krutrim has raised approximately $75 million and joined the unicorn club in January 2024. Its investors include Z47 (formerly Matrix), the Sarin Family, and others. Krutrim was reportedly in talks to raise $300 million in a new funding round. However, the company denied it officially. Last week, Krutrim laid off around 50 employees from its linguistics team in its third round of job cuts since June. In total, more than 200 employees have left the company so far this year, including leadership exits. Krutrim’s AI products, including Krutrim Cloud and its large language model offerings, have yet to gain traction due to technology gaps. Meanwhile, the firm is working on its largest language model, Krutrim 3, which will be a multibillion-parameter model.
