Grow upIndia’s largest retailers of retailers is set to test the country’s public markets with many billions of dollars. The list comes a little more than a year after restructuring its company from Delaware back to India – a move that the first Indian boot could make to record at home after a US relocation
Supported by Microsoft Satya Nadella’s CEO and Marquee investors, including Y Combinator, Ribbit Capital and Tiger Global, Groww’s Linging – expected later this year – will be doubled as an important exit opportunity for Business Capital Capital. The three investment companies unload about 236 million shares – about 5.6% of Groww’s total share basis – according to IPO DRAFT IPO documents registered on Tuesday. This makes them the only larger sale block, representing about 41% of all shares offered to the public.
Pine Labs, Razorpay; MuseAnd Zepto is one of the Indian newly established businesses that have recently shifted their base back home. The Phonepe support by Walmart transferred its headquarters from Singapore to India in 2022, while Flipkart-when his parent was also supported by Walmart-similar plans to move its headquarters from Singapore to India earlier this year.
Last year, Groww became one of the first newly established companies to shift its headquarters back to India from the US, the start of about $ 159 million in taxes as part of the traffic.
The relocation of their base helps newly formed businesses to align with the evolving local regulations and meet the requirements for home lists. It also makes sense to use India’s public markets, given the enlarged investor basis and the increasing appetite for iPos. The trend reflects the increasing maturity and attractiveness of India capital markets compared to alternatives abroad.
While US investors are planning to unload a large part of their Groww entries, founders Lalit Keshre, Harsh Jain, Neeraj Singh and Ishan Bansal together sell only about 4 million shares – only 0.7% of the total bid for the sale plan.
The small sales signals that the founders of Groww keep almost all of themselves, as opposed to the established investors who use the iPO as an exit route.
