byju's: An $8.8 billion IPO wave sweeps across India as startups soar - Net4News

NEW DELHI: The market for initial public offerings (IPO) in India is turning into a feeding frenzy. The amount of money raised in IPOs this year has reached $8.8 billion, already surpassing the totals of the past three years though it’s only August. At the current pace, 2021 would exceed the all-time record of $11.8 billion. Founders, bankers, lawyers and advisers are racing to cash in on fervent demand for fresh public offerings. The catalyst, in a word, is Zomato Ltd. The food-delivery startup went public in July and, despite deep losses and mediocre prospects for profitability, shares have soared more than 70%. That has fueled the idea that similarly profit-challenged startups could find a strong reception from investors. Oyo Hotels & Homes Pvt, a long-troubled lodging giant, started work last week on its draft prospectus and aims to file in October, according to people familiar with the matter. The ride-hailing leader Ola and fintech startup Pine Labs Pvt have also begun talks with investment bankers, according to other people aware of the situation.

"India is definitely the star of the show – that is the new phenomenon,” said Udhay Furtado, co-head of Asia equity capital markets at Citigroup Inc, the lead foreign bank in Asia IPO league tables so far this year. “Zomato really opened people’s eyes to India and now we have all these privately funded unicorns coming to the public market.” The performance of recent IPOs, such as Zomato, has fed the enthusiasm. Newly listed Indian stocks are beating the benchmark Nifty 50 Index by more than 40 percentage points this year, the biggest gap in seven years. The country’s three most valuable startups are all considering or planning IPOs. Paytm, the country’s leader in digital payments, filed its preliminary offering documents, aiming to raise as much as Rs 16,600 crore ($2.2 billion). If it reaches that level, the IPO would be the country’s largest debut ever, eclipsing the more than Rs 15,000 crore raised by state-owned Coal India Ltd. Flipkart, the e-commerce giant controlled by Walmart Inc, is aiming for an IPO as soon as the fourth quarter, Bloomberg News has reported. Byju’s, a digital education startup valued at $16.5 billion, is in early discussions about an IPO and bankers are encouraging the company to take advantage of the red-hot market, according to people familiar with the matter. Byju’s is in the midst of absorbing several substantial acquisitions and is likely to hold off on any listing for at least a year. Such is the hysteria that PhonePe, a payments startup Walmart acquired as part of its Flipkart deal, is considering shifting its incorporation back to India from Singapore to capture local investor attention, according to two people familiar with the matter who did not want to be identified. The regulatory upheaval in China has also sent investors looking for promising opportunities in countries with more predictable government policies. “If global investors have to pick an emerging market, the balance is tilting in India’s favor after the regulatory action in the China internet ecosystem,” said Pankaj Naik, executive director and co-head, digital & technology at consultancy, Avendus Capital Pvt. “India may not be as attractive as China in the broader economic sense but it’s looking like a safer bet.” Oyo Hotels, PhonePe and Pine Labs did not respond to emails seeking comment. India’s success with startups has long lagged beyond that of the US or China. But this year has been something of a breakout. With the Covid-19 pandemic, many consumers have turned to online services for grocery deliveries and other e-commerce, along with math tutoring and medical diagnoses. Revenue has surged. Global investors like Fidelity Investments, KKR & Co and Singapore’s Temasek Holdings Pte have pumped money into India, while China’s crackdown on private enterprise has spooked financiers. The value of venture investments in India reached $7.9 billion in July, surpassing China for the first time on a monthly basis since 2013, according to researcher Preqin Ltd. That kind of financing has helped India build a substantial blessing of unicorns, startups worth $1 billion or more. There are more than 35 such companies, led by Byju’s, Paytm and Oyo, according to CB Insights, suggesting dozens more could go public in the years ahead. Whereas the biggest IPOs of the past were conglomerate or state-backed companies like Coal India, startups are now leading the surge.

"Many of India's technology unicorns have huge growth opportunities ahead of them," said Devarajan Nambakam, a managing director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in Mumbai. "Everything is relative and given the vast opportunity, India’s macro fundamentals, political stability and overall investment policies make it one of the better destinations for global investors.” Investment banks such as Goldman, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc are at the forefront of multiple discussions, the people said. Mumbai-headquartered Kotak Mahindra Bank’s investment banking team is also part of several of IPO conversations, the people said. Oyo, a SoftBank Group Corp-backed startup with a history of troubles, is one of the more surprising IPO candidates. The hotel-booking company, run by 27-year-old Ritesh Agarwal, botched a global expansion with overly aggressive targets and then was hammered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Last year, it cut its workforce, furloughed thousands and slashed compensation and marketing as it retreated. But the brutal overhaul allowed Oyo to survive as people stopped traveling and now bookings are recovering in Europe, the US and parts of Asia. Agarwal, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, said the coronavirus pandemic hit Oyo like “a cyclone” with business falling 66% in 30 days. But the company made difficult changes to focus on the technology and services most valuable to its hotel partners. The startup recently secured a $660 million debt financing from global investors to service its existing loans. Work began this week on Oyo’s draft prospectus with the goal of filing with regulators within the next 10 weeks, said a person familiar with the developments. Two banks, Kotak and JPMorgan, have already been selected and Citi is close to being added to a lineup that’s likely to grow. The timing, size and blend of primary and secondary shares have yet to be decided, multiple people said. Agarwal declined to comment specifically on IPO plans in his interview. “We are already operating like a public company, when we go public is up to the board,” he said. If Agarwal does test the public markets, he will have plenty of company. Beauty retailer Nykaa filed its initial offering documents this month for a share later this year. API Holdings, the owner of the country’s largest online pharmacy PharmEasy, is targeting an IPO of more than $1 billion with plans to file initial documents by mid-October, according to people familiar with the matter. Pine Labs, a fintech startup that operates in India and parts of Southeast Asia, is being courted by bankers who claim it could reach a $10 billion valuation, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions. It was last valued at $3 billion, according to CB Insights. “Indian public market investors have shown that they do indeed value the role of disruption and growth,” said Vani Kola, founder and managing director of the venture firm Kalaari Capital. “We will see hundreds of such IPOs over the next decade.” Source link Read the full article

Famous Entrepreneurs in India Like Byju Raveendran

 One of Famous Entrepreneurs In India Byju Raveendran Born in Azhikode, Kerala. He  did his schooling from a Malayalam-medium school where his parents were also the teachers. He had an extreme interest in sports, and he used to play up to six different sports at the school level. But, studies were invariably a priority for him. As a child also, he loved Mathematics which led him to develop his own ways of remembering formulas, creating sequences, and solving questions, that made him cover up the syllabus quickly and efficiently as well. As time passes and being a bright student, he successfully became an engineer and got a job in an IT firm that required him to travel abroad for a significant part of the year.

 It was 2003 when Byju Raveendran came to Bangalore for his holiday, and he visited his friends who were preparing for the CAT exam. He taught them some different and distinct ways in which they can approach questions and can use time more efficiently.

For fun, Byju himself gave the exam and unexpectedly scored 100 percentile. His friends were impressed and happy for him, but he took it as a lucky break. To retest his skills and check whether he truly did well in the last one, he decided to appear in the exam again. Surprisingly, he scored 100 percentile, once more.

 After the CAT incident, his friends kept on insisting him to coach students preparing for competitive exams as his methods and applications were unconventional from what was already present. Byju thought about it, and after some thoughts, he decided to play his role as a teacher. He took a break from his job and began teaching some students in his first classroom that was originally a terrace of his friend's house.

 He was never behind the money and decided to allow free trial classes of seven days to students and charged them only if they were satisfied with the quality of teaching. In no time, students began to increase in number, which led him to rent a classroom space where he can accommodate everyone. Very quickly, the number of students under him increased to 20000 across the country, and Byju had to travel to more than seven cities in a week to teach them all.

 Gradually, it was getting challenging for him to maintain the hectic schedule so he decided to record his lectures and share it to the places where he could not manage to reach and shortly more than 25 cities had access to his classes.

 In 2010, Byju was proposed with the idea to provide his classes online so that millions of students could also avail and join his quality teaching. At that time internet was not a ready to available commodity in India but Byju still went ahead with it and formed ‘Think and Learn Pvt. Ltd.’.

 Then in 2015, a startup company created and launched the app called, ‘BYJU’s- The Learning App’. Within three months of its launch, the app had more than 55 lacs downloads, and over 2.5 lacs paid subscribers.

Also, Byju's startup became the first in Asia to pull investments from Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s organisation- The Chan-Zukerberg initiative, and this happened in 2016. He become a successful Entrepreneur in India.

An international achievement for the company also came in 2017 when it was included as a case study at Harvard University. Along with that, his company gets in Shahrukh Khan as its brand ambassador, and in 2019 it was announced as the official sponsor of the Indian Cricket Team’s jersey as well.

 Byju Raveendran has very inspiring story. He brought up an educational betterment of a country and pushing India towards its Digital Path!
