Ola Electric IPO

Hardware engineer

This guy gets a lot of shit on linkedin, don’t know him personally so not sure if rightly so or not. 

People in Ola, how’s this whole make tech in india thing working out?

Is this even working? Or just another marketing gimmick?

Staff Engineer

How did it happen? I researched well before the IPO and everyone was against Ola’s IPO referencing their losses and weak financials. As a result didn’t apply and still regret and think who are those investors giving damn valuations to Ola electric? Like it has grown 70%+ since inception of IPO and everyday I see it reached 20% upper circuit.
On one side people are ranting Bhavesh and Ola while on the other hand they are aggressively purchasing Ola shares.
What do you think about it? Is it a bubble or a missed opportunity?

Ola Electric Lowers Valuation Amid Market Realities

- Ola Electric, known for its e-scooters, has set a price band of Rs 72-76 per share for its IPO, translating to a market cap of $3.8-4 billion, which is 25% lower than its 2023 valuation of $5.4 billion. This drop means late-stage investors are likely to incur losses.
- The IPO aims to raise up to Rs 6,146 crore ($734 million), with Rs 5,500 crore ($657 million) from primary capital and Rs 646 crore ($67 million) from secondary share sales. Founder Bhavish Aggarwal will sell the most units, making Rs 303-320 crore ($36-38 million), while the promoter group will retain about 37% control post-issue.
- Anchor investors are expected to subscribe to about 50% of the IPO on August 1, with significant interest from domestic investors like SBI and HDFC mutual funds, and global investors like Fidelity. The valuation was adjusted to $4 billion to attract domestic mutual-fund houses.
- Ola Electric's cap-table includes venture capital firms like Matrix Partners (now Z47), growth tech backers like SoftBank Vision Fund, and state investment firms like Temasek. Strategic investors include Hyundai, Pawan Munjal of Hero MotoCorp, and former Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin.
- The IPO will impact various stakeholders differently: Tiger Global Management, Z47, and RNT Capital are set to see significant returns, while Temasek and crossover firms like Alpine and Tekne Capital may face losses due to the reduced valuation.
