Zomato, the most popular food delivery platform in India, is all set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) worth Rs 9,375 crore on Wednesday at a price band of Rs 72–Rs 76 via its maiden issue. There has been a lot of buzz around Zomato IPO as it is the first large consumer tech company getting listed on the bourses. Investors can subscribe to Zomato IPO till July 16. Zomato Initial Public Offer (IPO) consists of fresh issuance of equity shares of Rs 9,000 crore, and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 375 crore by existing selling shareholder Info Edge. Investors can bid for a minimum of 195 equity shares and in multiples of 195 equity shares thereafter.
Zomato has raised Rs 4,196 crore by allotting 55.2 crore shares to anchor investors at Rs 76 per share. Some of the key Marquee investors who were allotted shares in the anchor book include Tiger Global Investments Fund, BlackRock Global, Fidelity Funds, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley Investment Fund, and T Rowe Price.
“Strong participation by institutions in the anchor book bodes well for the IPO and we expect continued strong demand for the IPO from both institutional and retail investors alike. Given strong delivery network, high barriers to entry, expected turnaround and significant growth opportunities in tier-II and tier-III cities, we believe that Zomato will command a premium to global peers and hence have a ‘subscribe’ recommendation on the IPO,” said Jyoti Roy — DVP — Equity Strategist, Angel Broking Ltd.
