Shiprocket, an e-commerce solutions provider focused on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), is set to raise significant capital through an IPO. The company aims to raise ₹885 crore via fresh equity to bolster technology infrastructure, repay debts, and increase marketing spend. An additional ₹732 crore will be raised through an offer for sale (OFS).
Currently, Bertelsmann Nederland BV holds the largest stake at 21.3% before the IPO, while co-founders Saahil Goel and Gautam Kapoor will see their respective shares fall to 4.6% each from 6.2% after the offering. Despite not yet reporting a net profit due to heavy investment in emerging segments, Shiprocket is recognized as the country's largest e-commerce enablement provider by revenue.
The IPO could potentially bring shares worth $7.6 billion to the D-Street. Given its high-risk profile, the IPO may appeal to investors with a higher risk appetite seeking long-term growth.
