It is raining tech IPO, isn't it. And MobiKwik is taking a shot at the bourses again. Peak XV Partners, with a 17% stake in MobiKwik, is the largest, oldest institutional shareholder in the company. Everyone is playing it very carefully so that this bet doesn't go awry. IPO issue size has been halved and there is no offer for sale. What does this tell us about Peak XV Partners and MobiKwik. Read it in our story. https://lnkd.in/eQD4hAbK Written by Ashwin Manikandan.

Though MobiKwik remains largely the same business it was in 2021, much has changed when it comes to structuring its IPO offer. One thing stands out: Unlike 2021, there is no offer-for-sale component in this issue. The founders and large institutional investors are not expected to cash out this time around; the previous offer had involved Rs 400 crore worth of stake sale. What’s behind this change of tack? One large institutional investor that has particularly been instrumental in driving MobiKwik’s renewed IPO push is Peak XV Partners.

After shelving its IPO plans in 2022, MobiKwik has again filed its DRHP with the market regulator SEBI – planning to raise up to INR 700 Cr through a fresh issue of shares. Let's take a look at who holds how much stake in the IPO-bound fintech startup👇 🔶 According to the draft documents filed by the company, MobiKwik has 2,501 shareholders, with 4 in the promoter and promoter group and 2,497 public shareholders. 🔶 The decision of MobiKwik’s existing shareholders to not sell their shares is also a strong vote of their confidence in the startup’s future earnings potential. 🔶 The current MobiKwik IPO has an almost 63% lower offer than the INR 1,900 Cr it was looking to raise through the public bourses when it first filed its DRHP in 2021. #fintech #shareholding #markets #ipo #startup

The median time for an IPO is 8.1 years in the US since the 1st institutional round, and the gestation period goes to 10+ years if you account for a few years to get the initial traction before the institutional round. We see a similar trend in India, where IPOs take 10 - 13 years, a very long period for early employees to wait for liquidity on their hard-earned ESOPs. Founders and the human resources team find it hard to attract and retain talent without many options for ESOP liquidity. ESOP-focused secondary funds' singular objective is to help founders and human resources be the 'employer of choice' by providing out-of-turn ESOP liquidity opportunities through the secondary funds. #esopliquidity #employeeliquidity #secondaries #vc  #startups #founders #talent #employerofchoice Image Credit: Pitchbook

Equity can be one of the most misleading ‘carrots’ in the startup world. Companies love to offer equity when hiring folks, but what does this really look like? How many shares will you get? How frequently do they vest? Is the employer entitled to buy them back at some price if you leave or are dismissed? When looking at a comp plan employees should value the equity they see at zero. If it turns out to be worth something, great, it’s a bonus I can’t tell you how many times I have seen wrongful terminations directly before stock vesting events. Far too often. Don't let companies fool you. Understand your Equity arrangement. #equity #shares #ipo #sales #startup #startuplife

How can an email turn into a $6B company? Congrats to Reddit, one of my favorite corners on the internet. Also, insightful take from Brad Gertsner on IPO windows: “IPO “windows” are a myth. Public market are always open. Its just that equity risk premiums move up and down and so IPO pricing must change to reflect that reality. The company selling shares just needs to decide if they are will to accept that price.” #tech #founders #startup #vc
