High-end flexible workspace solutions firm The Executive Centre India, a Singapore-listed firm, has officially filed draft papers with SEBI to raise ₹2,600 crore in an initial share-sale. The action is a strategic move on the company's part as it seeks to make additional investments in overseas subsidiaries and broader corporate growth.

Key Highlights:

The IPO will include a new issue of shares of ₹2,600 crore without an offer-for-sale.

The proceeds will be used to invest in TEC Abu Dhabi and to make acquisitions of TEC SGP and TEC Dubai from TEC Singapore.

Remaining funds will support general corporate purposes, including operational expansion and tech upgrades.

Kotak Mahindra Capital, ICICI Securities, and Nomura Financial Advisory have been appointed as the lead bookrunners.

The company can raise up to ₹520 crore in a pre-IPO placement, thereby reducing the fresh issue size proportionately.

Market Context:

The Executive Centre is following its peers like Awfis and Smartworks in tapping public markets in India's co-working space boom.

The market will witness a 15% CAGR growth and will reach USD 9 billion by 2028.

TEC has 89 locations in 14 cities across seven countries with over 51,000 clients globally.

Financial Summary:

FY25 revenue was at ₹1,322.6 crore, 27.6% year-on-year.

Loss grew to ₹80.6 crore from ₹56.3 crore in FY24, reflecting expansionary zeal.

This IPO represents TEC's vision to take its premium workspace concept across borders and become a global leader in the future of work.
