Leap India Launches Rs 2,480 Crore IPO Backed by Pre-IPO Investments and Anchor Support
KKR-backed Leap India is launching a Rs 2,480 crore IPO from August 7 to 11, with a price band of Rs 151-159 per share. The issue includes a Rs 480 crore fresh equity component and a Rs 2,000 crore offer for sale, primarily by KKR-backed Vertical Holdings II. Prior to the IPO, Leap India raised Rs 371.3 crore through a pre-IPO placement led by GIC's subsidiary Gamnat and promoter Sunu Mathew. The company plans to use proceeds to reduce debt and support working capital. Anchor investors committed Rs 744 crore ahead of the subscription window, with shares trading at a slight grey market premium.
