Ever wondered what happens right before a big company goes public? Well, it’s not just about flashy billboards and investor roadshows. For lending tech startup Kissht, the party has already started, even before its main IPO kicks off. They've just bagged a massive chunk of change, signaling strong confidence.
The Backstory
You see, before an IPO is fully open to everyone, big institutional investors get a special sneak peek – they're called anchor investors. They commit to buying shares early, which basically tells everyone else, "Hey, this is a good deal!" Kissht's parent company, OnEMI, just got this thumbs-up.
Key Facts
- Lending tech startup Kissht (parent OnEMI Technology Solutions) is gearing up for its Initial Public Offering (IPO).
- It successfully secured ₹278 Cr from anchor investors.
- This funding happened *before* its public issue officially opens for bidding.
- The public bidding for Kissht's shares is set to commence on April 30.
- This pre-IPO investment typically builds positive momentum for the main public offering.
