Swiggy’s plans through this IPO

The company has been preparing for an IPO since last year. It also plans to raise around Rs 750 crores as a pre-IPO round of funding. This will be in consultation with its Book Running Lead Manager (BRLM). If this pre-IPO round takes place, it will reduce the amount to raise in the IPO to that extent.

The company has not yet filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus(DHRP), so the shareholders selling their stakes are unknown.

Is Swiggy Private or Public currently?

Till April 2024, Swiggy was a privately held company. In April, with a plan to launch its IPO, Swiggy converted from a private to a public limited company.

The documents submitted by Swiggy to ROC had the Swiggy Ltd. and not Swiggy Pvt. Ltd., indicating a change of name.

In Feb 2024, in the official communications, Swiggy changed its name from Bundl Technologies Pvt Ltd to Swiggy Pvt Ltd. The company justified this by saying “to help establish greater proximity and identification of the company’s corporate name with the company’s core brand”.

Swiggy IPO launch date and price

The soft bank-funded start-up has not yet filed its DHRP (Draft Red Herring Prospectus) with SEBI. However, the public issue is planned to be open for subscription by the end of this year.

In that time, Swiggy has taken a different route of filing confidential papers with SEBI. Money Control reported

Unlike the normal route of filing DHRP, where the business and details are publicly available, the confidential filing need not disclose business details publicly. A regular filing approval is valid for 12 months after SEBI gives its final observations. In the confidential filing, the approval is valid for 18 from the day SEBI gives its observations. The price band will be known in public only after Swiggy files its DHRP.
