Strategic Breakdown

JM Financial, IIFL Capital, and Nomura have been appointed as book running lead managers for the offer.

The IPO would comprise a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating approximately Rs 500 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of shares worth up to Rs 1,750 crore.

Up to 18.3 million shares of present shareholders are being sold through the OFS route.
