Shadowfax is gearing up for its Rs 1,907 crore initial public offering as the company has set the upper end of its IPO price band at Rs 124 per share. The fixed price band has cleared the way for significant returns for several early investors. According to the price band and offer details, a number of strategic and financial backers are set to gain multi-fold returns on their initial investments as they pare their holdings in the logistics startup. Flipkart, one of Shadowfax’s early and strategic investors, is expected to generate nearly 3X returns on its investment by selling shares worth around Rs 237 crore through the OFS. Eight Roads Investments, an affiliate of Fidelity, stands out among financial investors with an estimated 10X return on shares worth Rs 197 crore. NewQuest Asia Fund is set to make about 2X returns by offloading shares worth Rs 150 crore, while Nokia Growth Partners (NGP Capital) is likely to see nearly 4X gains on its Rs 101 crore OFS. The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank’s private-sector arm, is also expected to exit partially with around 4X returns on shares worth Rs 84 crore. Among other investors, Mirae Asset is set to generate close to 4.9X returns on its Rs 138 crore stake sale, while Qualcomm Asia Pacific is expected to earn around 5X returns by selling shares worth Rs 62 crore. Notably, individual investors Kunal Bahl and Rohit Kumar Bansal are set to emerge as the biggest winners in percentage terms. Each is selling shares worth about Rs 14 crore, translating into a massive 157X return on their initial investments, according to the IPO price band. Shadowfax’s IPO comprises a fresh issue of around Rs 1,000 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) component of approximately Rs 907 crore. The company is targeting a post-money valuation near Rs 7,400 crore, lower than earlier internal drafts. Founded in 2015 by Abhishek Bansal, Vaibhav Khandelwal, Praharsh Chandra, and Gaurav Jaithliya, the Bengaluru-based firm provides last-mile delivery across e-commerce and hyperlocal sectors, serving over 14,000 pin codes through 1.25 lakh delivery partners.

DesignUp, a design and technology conference based in Asia, will hold its first European edition in Berlin in April 2026, coinciding with its tenth anniversary. The platform, known for discussions at the intersection of design, technology, and innovation, has previously featured speakers such as Alan Cooper, Don Norman, Stefan Sagmeister, and Emmy Award-winning designer Karin Fong. Quartz has earlier listed DesignUp among notable global design events. “At its core, DesignUp has always stood for thoughtful curation and inclusivity, bridging creativity, technology, and social impact. Our move to Europe is a natural progression, expanding the dialogue across borders at a time when design must navigate AI, sustainability, and the need for renewed trust,” said Esha Mookerjee Dutta, DesignUp Director. “DesignUp Europe will be more than a conference, it’s a platform for cross-cultural exchange and collaborative action. We’re bringing together global perspectives to shape the next decade of design and the 2026 edition is just a start.” said Küeber and Wegner. The expansion follows the successful conclusion of DesignUp25 in Bengaluru on November 5, 2025, themed “The Design Currency.” The three-day conference hosted over 1300 attendees and global design leaders from Adobe, Canva, SAP, Netflix, Coursera, Designit, Tate, Karya, Ek Type, PhonePe, and Nielsen Norman Group, exploring how design drives trust and innovation in an AI-shaped world. “DesignUp is an outstanding conference for innovative ideas and business models fostering the digital design ecosystem. We are delighted to welcome DesignUp Europe happening next April in Berlin. Our city will celebrate the 20th anniversary as a UNESCO City of Design in 2026, and DesignUp Europe will be a perfect match – bridging two diverse tech ecosystems, innovative minds, and clear ambitions,” said Stefan Franzke, CEO, Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH. DesignUp has been one of the largest forums for designers, technology and product leaders, CXOs, and creators globally. The community-led conference has organized fundraisers that have raised millions for charities, influenced career paths, and demonstrated the role and impact of design beyond the design community. Each year, it brings together more than 1,000 attendees and speakers from organizations such as Netflix, MoMA, and NNg, along with independent innovators, fostering the exchange of ideas and insights.
