Home services marketplace Urban Company has filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) on Monday. The IPO includes a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 429 crore (approximately $50 million) and an offer for sale (OFS) of equity shares amounting to Rs 1,471 crore, as per the DRHP. As part of the offer for sale, Accel India will offload shares worth Rs 433 crore, while Elevation Capital and Tiger Global will sell shares valued at Rs 346 crore and Rs 303 crore, respectively. VY Capital and Bessemer will divest shares worth Rs 216 crore and Rs 173 crore through the IPO. According to the DRHP, Elevation Capital is the largest external shareholder with 10.84%, followed by Accel India and VY Capital, which hold 10.5% and 9.18%, respectively. Steadview and Prosus each own 6.80%, while Bessemer and Tiger Global command 6.46% and 4.73% stakes, respectively. The firmโ€™s co-founders โ€” Abhiraj Singh Bhal, Varun Khaitan, and Raghav Chandra โ€” collectively own 20.01%, divided equally among the three. Urban Company plans to list its shares on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The IPO will be managed by Kotak Mahindra, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JM Financial, who are acting as the book-running lead managers. Importantly, as an early-stage investor, Accel is set to secure a significantly larger exit than any other investor in Urban Company. Its exit value will be 16.6 times higher than Tiger Globalโ€™s, 5.6 times higher than VY Capitalโ€™s, and 97% higher than Bessemer Indiaโ€™s. Elevation Capital, which also invested in Urban Company during its early years, is expected to achieve a lucrative exit as well. According to the company, the net proceeds from the fresh issue will be utilized for the new technology, cloud infrastructure, lease payments, marketing, and other general corporate purposes. In the first nine months of FY25, the company posted revenue of Rs 846 crore and a restated profit of Rs 24.25 crore. For the full fiscal year ended March 2024, it reported revenue of Rs 828 crore and a loss of Rs 92.7 crore.

Urban Companyโ€™s revenue from operations grew to Rs 846 crore in the first nine months of FY25 from Rs 601 crore in the first three quarters of FY24, its financial statements disclosed in the DRHP show. Urban Company provides home services, including spa and salon treatments, AC repair, electrical work, painting, wall panel installation, pest control, and more. Revenue from these services contributed 75% of the companyโ€™s total collections, which rose 31% to Rs 639 crore in the nine months ending December FY25. The remaining operating revenue came from the sale of products to customers and professionals, amounting to Rs 207 crore during the same period. In addition to selling white-label products for salon services, the company also supplies locks, panels, and water filtration (RO) systems, which increased 7X to Rs 75.8 crore in 9M FY25 from Rs 10.8 crore in 9M FY24. Importantly, Urban Companyโ€™s international business accounts for Rs 116.4 crore of revenue during the first three quarters of FY25. It also added Rs 84.2 crore from other income (interest income on zero-coupon bonds and fixed deposits), which took the overall revenue to Rs 930 crore in the first nine months of the last fiscal year. On the expense side, employee benefits accounted for 28.5% of the overall expenditure, which stood at Rs 258 crore during the first nine months of FY25.

A combination of over 40% revenue growth and tighter cost controls helped Urban Company swing to a profit before tax of Rs 27.1 crore in the first nine months of FY25, compared to a loss of Rs 57.7 crore during the same period last year. The companyโ€™s Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) improved to 1.84%, while its EBITDA margin rose to 6.78%. At the unit level, Urban Company spent Rs 1.07 to generate a unit of operating revenue.

Greaves Electric, the parent of EV maker Ampere, has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) on Monday. The firm has proposed to raise funds through a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to Rs 1,000 crore (approximately $119 million) and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 18.94 crore equity shares, according to the DRHP. Greaves Cotton Limited (the prompter shareholder) will divest 8.5% of its holding in the offer for sale (OFS) while Abdul Latif Jameel Green Mobility will offload 39.54% of its share from Ampere. The price band and minimum lot size will be decided in consultation with the book-running lead managers shortly through the book-building process.

According to the DRHP, before the offer for sale (OFS), Greaves Cotton Limited (promoter) held 62.48% of the stake while Abdul Latif Jameel Green Mobility Solutions DMCC commands 34.44% in Ampere.

In the previous fiscal year (FY24), Ampere experienced a 46% decline in revenue in FY24, with scooter sales plummeting by nearly 60%. Moreover, the company's losses widened more than 10X to Rs 215 crore, driven by the significant decline in scale. In August, Ola Electric, an EV manufacturer, filed its IPO and raised Rs 6,145 crore through a fresh issue. The company offered shares in a price band of Rs 72-76, which are now trading at Rs 94 (as of 11:30 AM), giving it a market capitalization of Rs 41,488 crore ($4.93 billion).

Exclusive: Swiggy to raise Rs 5,000 Cr via fresh issue

Swiggy, the food delivery and quick commerce firm, is set to raise Rs 5,000 crore ($602 million) in a fresh issue as part of its initial public offering (IPO). The Prosus-funded company has already targeted Rs 6,664 crore through an offer for sale (OFS), with plans to seek board approval for the OFS in the first week of next month. According to an internal document accessed by Entrackr, Swiggyโ€™s board has passed a special resolution to issue equity shares worth up to Rs 5,000 crore, subject to shareholder approval at a meeting (EGM) on October 3. Swiggyโ€™s IPO has been anticipated since the company filed draft papers confidentially in April. Reports suggest the firm has also received shareholder approval to raise Rs 10,400 crore in total (Rs 3,750 crore via a fresh issue and Rs 6,664 crore through an OFS). However, Swiggyโ€™s IPO size may vary, as the fresh issue mentioned in the latest resolution is 1.3X larger than the previously estimated Rs 3,750 crore. The Bengaluru-based company is expected to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI soon. Queries sent to Swiggy did not elicit a response by the time of publication. Ahead of the IPO, Swiggy secured strategic investments from Amitabh Bachchanโ€™s Family Office and Hindustan Composites. Meanwhile, investor Baron Capital recently valued Swiggy at $14.5 billion. The food tech firm demonstrated strong financial growth with 36% year-on-year growth in revenue to Rs 11,247 crore in FY24 and cut its losses by 44% to Rs 2,350 crore in the same period. Swiggyโ€™s food business contributed Rs 6,100 crore to its overall income, while its quick commerce arm, Instamart, generated Rs 1,100 crore in gross revenue in FY24. To compete with rivals like Zepto and Zomatoโ€™s Blinkit, Swiggy invested $700 million in quick commerce in December 2021. Last month, the Sriharha Majety-led firm also roped in a new chief executive and new chief operating officer for Instamart. Following a series of startup IPOs from Delhi NCR, Bengaluru is catching up in 2024. A few city-based companies, including Digit Insurance and Ola Electric, have already made their stock exchange debuts this year. Besides Swiggy, Bengaluru-based Ather Energy also submitted its draft IPO papers on Monday, with its largest stakeholder, Hero MotoCorp, opting not to participate in the OFS.
