IPO Structure & Strategic Intent

The multi-billion dollar public offer is structured as a 100% Offer for Sale (OFS) consisting of 20,37,09,239 equity shares.

• Secondary partial monetization for selling promotional shareholders ₹11,692.91 Cr
• Enhancing visibility, listing benefits, and providing public currency on stock exchanges Strategic Benefit
