IPO update: Medi Assist, INOX India, Digikore Studios file papers to launch public offer
The current momentum in the initial public offering (IPO) market is far from over, given the long queue of companies lined up to list their shares on stock exchanges amid buoyant primary market activity. In a fresh development in the IPO market, cryogenic tank maker INOX India and Medi Assist Healthcare Services have filed the draft papers with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise funds through public listing of shares, while visual effects (VFX) studio Digikore Studios has filed papers with the NSE's SME segment Emerge for floating a public issue.
Here’s all you need to know about these three upcoming IPOs.
Medi Assist Healthcare Services
Bengaluru-based Medi Assist has submitted preliminary documents with the market regulator to raise capital through the IPO route. This would be second attempt by India's largest health benefits administrator to go public as it filed paper in May 2021, but deferred due to challenging market conditions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the draft-red herring prospectus (DRHP), the IPO of Medi Assist will be completely an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 2.80 crore equity shares of the company with a face value of ₹5 each by existing shareholders and promoters of the company. This means, the company will not receive any capital from the IPO proceeds.
