Last week, ET reported that early investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and others are looking to sell stakes in the Gurgaon-based firm while Peak XV Partners has already sold shares worth $80-90 million. The IPO plans are also part of debt financing agreements undertaken by Agarwal for him to launch a public offering this calendar year.
“They (Oyo) are aiming to make a filing much before the end of first quarter but that's the idea,” a person aware of the matter said.
“The new investors—largely family offices—are interested in the IPO link so as to they can invest now and have an upside during a public offering,” another person aware of the matter said.
According to sources, three key groups of shareholders—founder Agarwal, SoftBank group, and HNI family offices—are expected to retain a key space on the company’s cap table ahead of the planned IPO filing, reflecting a consolidated ownership structure.
