The IPO market is set to witness another major listing as Wakefit Innovations, one of India’s fastest-growing home and furnishings brands, gears up to launch its Rs 1,289-crore initial public offering (IPO) next week. The public issue will open for subscription on Monday and will remain open until December 10, marking one of the most awaited offerings of the month.
The Bengaluru-based company, known for its mattresses and home-furnishing products, is preparing to make its market debut at a time when investor appetite for consumer-focused businesses remains strong. The company has also confirmed that Wakefit shares will be allotted on December 11, while the listing is scheduled for December 15.
IPO Price Band and Size
Wakefit has set a price band of Rs 185–195 per share, valuing the company at nearly Rs 6,400 crore at the upper end. The IPO includes a combination of a fresh issue and an offer for sale, with the total size pegged at Rs 1,289 crore.
In a key revision, Wakefit has reduced the size of its fresh issue to Rs 377 crore, down from the earlier planned Rs 468 crore. The price band was officially finalised on Tuesday.
Market observers noted that the IPO’s grey market premium (GMP) is currently flat, indicating a stable but cautious sentiment among retail participants ahead of the opening.
Utilisation of IPO Proceeds
According to the company’s filing, proceeds from the fresh issue will be channelled towards expansion and operational enhancements. The breakup includes:
-
Rs 31 crore for establishing 117 new COCO-Regular Stores
-
Rs 15.4 crore for the purchase of equipment and machinery
-
Rs 161.4 crore for lease-related payments for existing stores
-
Rs 108.4 crore dedicated to marketing and advertising to strengthen brand visibility
-
The remaining amount will be used for general corporate purposes
These investments underline Wakefit’s aggressive expansion strategy as it strengthens its presence across India’s growing home and décor market.
