India’s IPO Market: A Rare Bright Spot in a Global Downturn

A Wave of Tech Listings Expected in 2025

India has defied the global trend in initial public offerings (IPOs) this year, emerging as a rare bright spot for tech listings amidst headwinds in other major markets. The country’s capital markets are preparing for an even more substantial wave of startup IPOs in 2025, with over 20 startups planning to list next year.

Companies Preparing for IPOs in 2025

According to multiple sources familiar with the plans, some of the companies that are preparing for IPOs in 2025 include:

• Infra.Market: a business-to-business marketplace
• Zetwerk: a farm-to-produce venture
• Captain Fresh: an offline-to-online retailer
• Urban Company: a professional services marketplace
• Bluestone: a jewelry retailer
• OneAssist: a security firm
• Magicpin: a payments firm
• Zepto: a quick-commerce startup

India’s Unique Position

Industry experts attribute India’s unique position in the IPO market to several factors, including:

• Macro economic growth: India’s strong economic growth has made it an attractive destination for investors.
• Capital markets: India’s capital markets have been growing rapidly, providing a supportive environment for startups to raise funds.
• Regulatory framework: The regulatory framework in India is becoming more favorable for startups, making it easier for them to list on the stock exchange.

Growth Potential for Tech Companies

Tech companies and healthcare firms represent more than 50% of the S&P 500 Index. In contrast, these sectors account for less than 20% of India’s benchmark Nifty 50. This disparity provides a lot of room for growth for tech companies in India, according to Bharti.

Conclusion

India’s IPO market is expected to see a significant surge in 2025, with over 20 startups planning to list next year. The country’s unique position in the global economy, supportive capital markets, and favorable regulatory framework make it an attractive destination for investors. With growth potential still untapped, India’s tech companies are poised for a bright future.
