India’s food delivery giant, Swiggy, has officially opened its highly anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO). It marks a pivotal moment for one of the country’s most popular digital platforms. Targeting an ambitious Rs 11,327 crore, Swiggy IPO not only represents the company’s growth but also underscores the evolution of India’s consumer tech landscape. Running from November 6 to November 8, 2024, the IPO has already attracted substantial interest—particularly from retail investors—as Swiggy prepares for its debut on the stock exchanges. Here’s a breakdown of the IPO’s structure, early performance, and what it means for investors.

Swiggy is offering shares within a price range of Rs 371 – Rs 390, combining a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 4,499 crore with an offer for sale (OFS) worth Rs 6,828 crore. The fresh issue will support Swiggy’s expansion, including enhancements to its technology infrastructure and scaling its quick-commerce and grocery services. The OFS component provides early investors, such as Accel India and Tencent Cloud Europe, an opportunity to partially exit, marking Swiggy’s transition into a mature business stage. At the upper end of the price band, Swiggy’s valuation would reach approximately Rs 95,000 crore, placing it among India’s largest tech companies alongside its main competitor, Zomato.

Swiggy IPO saw a promising start on its first day, achieving 8% overall subscription by midday. Retail investors led with a robust 40% subscription, showing strong enthusiasm, while non-institutional investors subscribed at a modest 3%.

By 1:30 PM on Day 1, the IPO had received bids for 1.34 crore shares against the 16 crore shares available, indicating a growing appetite for Swiggy’s offering.

The early support from retail investors reflects Swiggy’s popularity and trusted reputation in urban markets, particularly among individuals who regularly use its services. As the IPO progresses, all eyes are on institutional investors, whose participation could add momentum and reinforce Swiggy’s strong market debut.
