Billionbrains Garage Ventures on Monday garnered a little over ₹2,984 crore from anchor investors. The company’s ₹6,632 crore IPO would conclude on Friday.
The firm has fixed a price band of ₹95-100 per share for its IPO, targeting a valuation of over ₹61,700 crore (about $7 billion).
The IPO has a fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹1,060 crore along with an Offer-for-Sale (OFS) component of 55.72 crore equity shares.
The company, which is backed by marquee investors such as Peak XV, Tiger Capital, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, plans to use proceeds from the IPO to invest in technology development and business expansion.
Of the fresh issuance, ₹225 crore will be used for brand building and performance marketing activities, and ₹205 crore will be invested in Groww Creditserv Technology Pvt Ltd (GCS), the NBFC arm, to augment its capital base.
Additionally, ₹167.5 crore will be infused into Groww Invest Tech Pvt Ltd (GIT) to fund its margin trading facility business, while ₹152.5 crore has been earmarked to strengthen cloud infrastructure.
The balance will be utilised for funding inorganic growth through acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, Groww filed draft papers in May with markets regulator Sebi for an IPO through a confidential pre-filing route and received Sebi’s approval in August.
Groww opted for the confidential pre-filing route, which allows it to withhold public disclosure of IPO details under the DRHP until later stages. This route is gaining traction among Indian firms aiming for flexibility in their IPO plans.
Founded in 2016, Groww emerged as India’s largest stockbroker, with over 12.6 million active clients and a market share of over 26 per cent as of June 2025.
Groww will make its stock market debut on November 12.
