Kuku Technologies Ltd, operator of vernacular audio platform Kuku FM and short-video app Kuku TV, has confidentially filed draft papers with Sebi for an IPO aiming to raise Rs 2,500-3,500 crore and target a valuation up to Rs 15,000 crore. The company reported a nearly sevenfold revenue increase to over Rs 1,400 crore in FY26 and is close to operational break-even. Proceeds will support technology, AI infrastructure, content creation, and geographic expansion. The IPO is expected later this financial year.
