IPO Wave To Continue: 20+ New-Age Tech Companies Eye Public Listing In 2025

Initial public offerings (IPOs) headlined the Indian startup ecosystem in 2024. Thirteen new-age tech companies went public this year and raised a cumulative INR 29,000 Cr in total from their public listings.

Buoyed by healthy activity in the markets and positive performance of already listed startup stocks, almost all new-age tech companies, from foodtech major Swiggy to insurtech giant Go Digit General Insurance, made their public market debuts in 2024 at a premium over their issue prices.

This came on the back of a positive market sentiment, growing investor appetite for new-age tech IPOs, and inflows from foreign institutional investors. 

The 2024 IPO wave also provided high returns for venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms. For context, Accel raked in 34.9X returns by offloading a partial stake in Swiggy and Elevation Capital made a whopping 47X gains from the IPOs of Swiggy and ixigo.

Owing to the high enthusiasm for new-age tech IPOs in the public markets, more and more such companies are pulling up their socks to list on the bourses. As per Inc42 data, as many as 23 startups are in various stages of their IPO timeline. 

While the likes of ArisInfra, Ecom Express, and Smartworks have received nod from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for their respective IPOs, Ather Energy, BlueStone, and DevX have filed their draft red herring prospectuses (DRHPs) and are awaiting the market regulator’s go ahead. 

Then there are companies like Infra.Market, Ola Consumer, boAt, IndiQube, OfBusiness that have set eyes on a D-Street listing soon. Consequently, the IPO boom of new-age tech companies is expected to continue in 2025 as well. 

So, as part of Inc42 ‘Indian Tech Outlook’ series, we have curated a list of all the potential new-age tech IPOs of 2025.
