Indian Startup IPO Tracker 2024

It’s the season of spring for startup IPOs. After a lull in IPOs in 2022 and 2023 due to geopolitical tensions, a raging funding winter, and macroeconomic pressures, startups are lining up in droves to list on the bourses in 2024. 

Twelve new-age tech companies have listed on the exchanges so far this year – Go Digit General Insurance, Swiggy, FirstCry, Unicommerce, TBO Tek, Ola Electric, BlackBuck, Awfis, ixigo, Menhood, TAC Security and Trust Fintech. 

In contrast, just five startups listed in the entirety of 2023 and three new-age tech companies made their way to the bourses in 2022. 

Despite the 12 listings so far this year, the Indian startup ecosystem still has a few aces up its sleeves. Logistics major Ecom Express, and coworking startup Smartworks are also eyeing a market debut in the next few months. 

But, what is emboldening the startups to revisit their IPO plans, a year after many of them shelved or postponed their plans? The answer is the thawing funding winter, a renewed push for profitability and a growing investor appetite for startup IPOs. 

Speaking with Inc42, angel investor Nikhil Parmar said, “Firstly, many startups have matured to a point where they are ready for public markets, driven by strong growth, robust business models, and proven revenue streams. Additionally, favourable market sentiment and ample liquidity have made the stock market an attractive option for raising capital. Investor confidence is also a significant driver.”

Concurring with this, angel investing platform BizDateUp Technologies cofounder Meet Chandan said that the IPO spring has also been fuelled by investors looking to diversify their portfolio and the promise of substantial returns from tech-driven companies.

What has also helped the ecosystem is the bumper listing of most of the new-age companies in 2024 so far. From TBO Tek and Awfis to GoDigit Insurance, Unicommerce and ixigo, all have listed at a premium, and many have even seen healthy rallies post their listing. 

Non-institutional investors (NIIs) and qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) are seeing merit in backing the growing number of Indian startups making a beeline for the bourses. However, challenges remain. 

Investors are primarily focussed on profitable and sustainable ventures and are steering clear of loss-making entities. Awfis, which reported a profitable quarter after its listing, was an outlier in this regard. Additionally, strong corporate governance guardrails and compliance with existing regulations also seem to be on the top of investors’ agenda. 

“Markets currently are receptive to IPO-bound companies with a good brand, decent unit economics and a clear path to profitability. Public markets are hungry for tech stocks and are welcoming good companies with open arms. So, it’s only natural that more founders would want to take their companies public. This is a great sign for the ecosystem,” said VC firm All In Capital’s cofounder Kushal Bhagia.

Parmar believes that the surge in IPOs amid the funding winter showcases the startup ecosystem’s resilience and adaptability. It also reflects the growing maturity of the ecosystem. 

With this in mind, Inc42 has collated a list of all top Indian startups that have listed on the bourses in 2024 so far as well as those who plan to go for IPOs in the near term. Before we dive into the list, here are the latest developments from the Indian IPO landscape:
