Swiggy's IPO: A Star-Studded Event or Just Another Exit for VCs? Investors like Karan Johar, Rahul Dravid, Amitabh Bachchan, and Madhuri Dixit have already backed Swiggy. What's next? Here’s what I found: 1.IPO Structure: Swiggy's ₹10,000 crore IPO includes a fresh equity issue of ₹3,750 crore and an Offer-for-Sale (OFS) of 18.52 crore shares. Around 60% of the proceeds will provide an exit to early investors like Accel, Prosus, and Tencent. Only 40% will fuel Swiggy’s operations and growth. 2.Profitability Concerns: Despite reducing losses by 43%, Swiggy still recorded ₹2,350 crore in losses in FY24. The company continues to face fierce competition in the quick commerce space, with Zomato's Blinkit leading the race. 3.Big Bets on Quick Commerce: Swiggy plans to invest ₹559 crore in dark stores, but it’s still trailing behind Blinkit in terms of speed and market presence. A strategic move? Time will tell.... 4.Celebrity Hype: With notable personalities and pre-IPO shares up by 40% in the unlisted market, the buzz around Swiggy is real. But does that mean it's a good investment? The fundamentals suggest caution!! 5.Valuation: Swiggy is targeting a $15 billion valuation, inching close to its rival Zomato, whose stock has soared 125% this year. But can Swiggy replicate such success post-IPO? 🎯 Key takeaway: Pre-IPO investing is always tricky, especially when 60% of funds go towards exits for early backers. Do your homework; there are better options in the listed markets.

🚀 Swiggy IPO Set to Launch at ₹371-390/share! Swiggy’s much-awaited IPO is scheduled to go live on November 6, offering a price band of ₹371-390/share. The company plans a Fresh Issue worth ₹4,500 Cr and an OFS up to ₹6,800 Cr, pushing its valuation to ~$11.3 billion—a 25% markdown from their original target of $15 billion, yet 5% higher than their last private valuation of $10.7 billion (2022). Here’s what’s noteworthy: 🔹 Bankers on the Block: Swiggy’s bankers have been active, with shares initially starting at ₹340/share 6 months back, moving to ₹350-380/share in September. Recently, the stock seems to be fetching a Grey Market Premium (GMP) of ~₹125/share, with some trades crossing ₹400+ per share. 🔹 Pricing Concerns: Many pre-IPO investors were hoping Swiggy would list at ₹400-425/share, aiming for ₹450+ to comfortably cross the 6-month lock-in period. But with the current pricing, public markets will set the tone—and investors are feeling the heat. 📉 Post-IPO Performance: How have other major startups fared 6 months post-listing? • Paytm: ⬇️ 40% • Zomato: ⬆️ 5% • Nykaa: ⬇️ 27% • MapMyIndia: ⬇️ 8% • Pb Fintech: ⬇️ 55% These trends raise an important question—Does it still make sense to invest in pre-IPO rounds? 💭 What are your thoughts on Swiggy’s valuation and IPO price band? Would you still consider investing? #SwiggyIPO #StockMarket #IPO #Investing #Startup

The Indian startup ecosystem and public market are abuzz with anticipation of one of this year’s most awaited IPOs, Swiggy. However, as analysts and investors dive into the company’s prospects in a market otherwise dominated by its rival Zomato, they are seemingly getting cold feet 👇 The reason? Well, for one, the Swiggy IPO currently raises two major concerns — a high valuation and hefty losses on the books. On top of this, the foodtech platform is now set to increase its IPO size as well. For the uninitiated, Swiggy has received the shareholders’ approval to increase the size of its fresh issue to INR 5,000 Cr from an earlier INR 3,750 Cr. Besides, as per its DRHP, the IPO also comprises an offer for sale (OFS) component of 18.53 Cr equity shares. Together, this could increase the startup’s total IPO size to more than INR 10,000 Cr, expected to be around $1.5 Bn. Swiggy is also eyeing a valuation of $15 Bn, which is higher than the $7 Bn valuation at which Zomato went public. Though the initial response to Zomato’s IPO was great, the stock was under significant pressure in the next one year. Analysts see enough demand in the market for Swiggy’s IPO. However, a valuation discount will only increase the interest for its much-anticipated public offering. Amid debates, discussions, concerns and opportunities, Swiggy’s unlisted shares are trading at INR 485-INR 515 zone in the grey market. Two months ago, its shares were trading at INR 425 apiece.

How Swiggy is Gearing Up for a Blockbuster $1.2 Billion IPO Swiggy is aiming for a public offering worth a staggering $1.2 billion, with a mix of fresh issuance of shares and an offer for sale (OFS) by existing investors. Here's why Swiggy may be on the road to a successful IPO: - Valuation Race Swiggy has been discussing with its investors to solidify its valuation before the IPO. Recent reports suggest US-based fund manager Invesco marked up Swiggy's valuation to $12.7 billion, a significant increase from their previous assessment. - Zomato's Influence Swiggy's listing plans likely draw inspiration from its arch-rival Zomato's successful IPO in 2021. Zomato's strong performance on the stock market might be giving Swiggy confidence for its debut. - Confidential Approach Swiggy has opted for a confidential filing process, keeping IPO details under wraps for now. But the key questions remain: - Financial Performance While Swiggy is aiming for a high valuation, its financial health remains a crucial factor for investors. Will the company be able to demonstrate profitability or a clear path to achieving it? - Market Conditions The overall market sentiment will significantly impact the success of Swiggy's IPO. Economic conditions and investor confidence will play a major role. What do you think about Swiggy's IPO? Do you think they can achieve a $1.2 billion valuation?
