In its notice to investors as accessed by Inc42, the company informed, “A pre-IPO placement was undertaken by ArisInfra, in consultation with the BRLMs, for an amount aggregating to INR 800.04 Mn.

A pre-IPO placement is a private sale of shares conducted before a company goes public.
The development comes two months after SEBI green lit its initial public offering (IPO) of INR 579.60 Cr. With this pre-IPO placement, the size of the fresh issue in the IPO will reduce to around INR 500 Cr.
In November, the company already cut the size of the fresh issue in the IPO to INR 579.60 Cr from INR 600 Cr earlier.
ArisInfra’s IPO will consist solely of a fresh issue of shares, with no offer-for-sale component. The book running lead managers for the IPO are JM Financial, IIFL Capital and Nuvama.
The proceeds from the IPO will be allocated to repay outstanding borrowings, fund working capital requirements, invest in subsidiary Buildmex-Infra Pvt Ltd, among others.
Founded in 2021 by Ronak Morbia and Bhavik Khara, ArisInfra uses AI and machine learning to simplify construction material procurement. The startup delivers the products from the manufacturers of raw materials to businesses through its online platform.
