At the end of the first day, the IPO has been subscribed by 50%. IndiaMART InterMESH which is the parent company for Indiamart.com – one of the country’s biggest online marketplaces for businesses – had opened the doors for its ₹4.75 billion IPO. A total of 4.88 million shares of the company are up for grabs,at a price band of ₹970-₹973 per share. The IPO will be closed for subscription on June 26. IndiaMart had also registered a compounded annual growth in revenue (CAGR) of 26% in the last three years. However, Indiamart will not receive any of the IPO proceeds. In fact, the listing is only an offer for sale (OFS) through which the promoters and shareholders will dilute 0.49 crore shares of the company. Competition in the market IndiaMart, which was founded in 1999, today claims to have a 60% market share of the online B2B Classified space in India, and it focuses on providing a platform to Small &amp; Medium Enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises as well as individuals. IndiaMart has over 82.7 mn registered buyers and 5.55 million supplier storefronts across 54 industries in India as of FY19. What’s better, there has been a growth of 21% in paid subscribers on the platform in the last three years, according to Geojit, and the number of registered buyers has grown 45% in the same period <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[

 However, its competitors are far behind. Some of its competitors are TradeIndia.com, Alibaba India and ExportersIndia.com. TradeIndia.com was started in 1996 has over 4.96 million registered users today, according to the company’s official website. ExportersIndia was founded in 1997 and has over 2.7 million users in India. Meanwhile, the globally e-commerce giant Alibaba launched the India unit in 2008 and has over 6 million members with 15,000 Indian SMEs on its platform. Alibaba could soon push for growth in the Indian market too given the economy’s potential as the world’s fastest growing economy. E-commerce in India is expected to be $200 billion industry by 2026. Key risks That brings us to the biggest risks that the company could face in the near term. Aside from competition, there is a huge slowdown in overall consumption in India. “Demand slowdown for the types of products and services listed by suppliers on IndiaMart online marketplace,” was the top risk cited by Geojit in a report, followed by losses in previous years as well as high employee costs.

IndiaMart, a 20-year old online marketplace and one of the country’s biggest, is selling shares as e-commerce gets more competitive

<ul><li>In an interview with Business Insider, <keyword id="127964" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dinesh-Agarwal">Dinesh Agarwal</keyword> spoke about being the first IPO after the elections and what the future looks like for IndiaMart.</li><li>IndiaMART InterMESH which is the parent company for Indiamart.com, had opened the doors for its ₹4.75 billion IPO. </li><li>Its IPO was oversubscribed 36 times.</li></ul>When IndiaMart opened its doors for an Initial Public Offering, the founder Dinesh Agarwal was apprehensive – after all, it was the first IPO after the elections with the Narendra Modi government coming back to power – and that too a tech IPO! But in two days, investors subscribed for 36 times the total number of shares on offer. Today, the stock has listed 25% over its issue price. IndiaMART InterMESH which is the parent company for Indiamart.com – one of the country’s biggest online marketplaces for businesses – is one of the country’s oldest e-commerce ventures that started in 1999. It competes with TradeIndia.com, Alibaba India and ExportersIndia.com. IndiaMart has over 82.7 million registered buyers and 5.55 million supplier storefronts across 54 industries in India at the end of March 2019. This compares to TradeIndia.com’s (founded in 1996) 4.96 million registered users today, ExportersIndia’s (founded in 1997) over 2.7 million users in India. Meanwhile, the global e-commerce giant Alibaba, which launched the India unit in 2008, has over 6 million members with 15,000 Indian SMEs on its platform. However, at IndiaMart competition isn’t a worry. “We are 16X the size of our next competition, our lead is only growing. It’s a winner takes it all kind of a market and we are getting the larger share as the market is growing,” Dinesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of IndiaMart, told Business Insider. In an interview, Agarwal said the IPO process very overwhelming but he was sure of the prospects. “We were confident about our numbers, having built a robust business and having had great numbers since the last three years. Even while the small and medium enterprises had faced temporary setbacks like demonetization, GST and then the elections, we have managed to put out our best performance,” said Agarwal. IndiaMart’s revenue has been growing at 29% per annum for three years. IndiaMart, which was founded in 1999, today claims to have a 60% market share of the online business classifieds space in India, and it focuses on providing a platform to Small &amp; Medium Enterprises (SMEs), large enterprises as well as individuals. Will the success of Indiamart’s IPO open the doors for others too? “That’s a tall claim. I think it all depends on the readiness of the company rather than the market,” he said. With a listing on the stock market, IndiaMart is now open to market scrutiny. But Agarwal is rest assured. “Our business model has been proven time and again. We know how to steer through tough times and accept newer technologies. When we started we were a desktop based company, now we are a mobile B2B company, so we have seen how to evolve with time. We have seen 5 governments too through our time!,” he said. With the IPO proceeds in its kitty, IndiaMart plans to grow bigger. “Today we are attracting larger companies like Jindal Steel, JCB Machines, who are advertising and generating leads on our platform. We have also adapted SaaS - Software as a Service - where we have developed a CRM for SMEs to manage their leads, invoice management and more,” he said. IndiaMart has also started offering payment facilitation services and Agarwal is looking at fintech as a space to grow further. “Going forward we will be looking at buyer purchase financing and SME lending as well,” he said.

It wasn’t a long time ago that IndiaMart’s shares were valued at ₹1,846 (March 27, 2020), right after India stepped into the pandemic-induced lockdown. Along with these restrictions came massive supply chain disruption that left Indian industry — from manufacturing to healthcare — in a void. IndiaMart has been gaining from it since then. A business model that allows buyers and sellers to interact and cash in on their product needs — without physical contact — has allowed IndiaMart to garner the interest of more customers and get confidence of retail investors amidst the pandemic. IndiaMart currently competes with Tencent-backed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/indian-b2b-e-commerce-startup-udaan-raises-280-million-valuation-jumps-to-over-3-billion/articleshow/80132753.cms">Udaan</a> (valued at $3 billion) and publicly listed company Just Dial (market cap of $845 million), which was recently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/mukesh-ambanis-reliance-retail-to-buy-majority-stake-in-justdial-vss-mani-to-continue-as-md-and-ceo/articleshow/84477000.cms">acquired </a>by Reliance Industries. IndiaMart’s share prices were above ₹8,900 as of September 8, 2021. The company’s share prices have increased 24% in the last month, from ₹7,236 on August 9. It now sits on a market capitalisation of ₹27,483.8 crore ($3.7 billion). <div type="image" title="Indiamart share price has gone up nearly five times in last 18 months and the record profit is only a part of what’s driving it" msid="86058098" hostid="261"></div> Jyoti Roy, equities strategist at Angel Broking, told Business Insider India that COVID-19 has shifted B2B commerce trends, from offline to online, and IndiaMart is strategically positioned to cater to such trends. Structural changes have happened in terms of supply and demand, and how these needs are met, he added. As COVID-19 has forced micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) into the digital arena, all companies that enable such transformation have benefited from it. In general, any newage business — like Affle India or Route Mobile — that lays more stress on digital or digitisation have benefited in the last one year, Roy added. Deven R Choksey, managing director of KR Choksey Investment Managers, noted, “everyone wants to make investments in these kinds of businesses when they are not losing money. In a business-to-customer (B2C) model ecommerce platform loses money.” <div type="image" title="Indiamart share price has gone up nearly five times in last 18 months and the record profit is only a part of what’s driving it" msid="86058074" hostid="261"></div> Founded in 1996, by Dinesh Agarwal and Brijesh Agrawal, IndiaMart currently enables business and discovery for MSMEs. It helps these small businesses with buyer and seller negotiations as well as quotation and invoicing of products. The company has been planning to expand further into the commerce side of the business, with payments, logistics/tracking and transactional financing. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Key points to note about IndiaMart’s performance in April to June quarter of FY22 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">IndiaMart reported a revenue of ₹210 crore, with a new profit of ₹91 crore. </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">The company had 66 lakh suppliers on its platform.

More small businesses are going digital, placing orders and finding new customers online. The company has over 70% market share in the underlying industry, the report noted.

Therefore, it’s too early to comment on competition at the moment. He also noted that the new age digital businesses have the potential to be valued much higher than the traditional information technology (IT) business that enjoys supremacy today.

Aluminium prices are reportedly expected to stay elevated in the near term. Growing disruptions in supply from China are driving prices up. The disruptions are largely because of new emission rules, power shortages and floods in July. High aluminium prices means better realisations for aluminium makers. <keyword id="149555" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mahindra-mahindra-financial-services" source="Orion">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Financial Services</keyword> The non-banking finance company’s stock has surged 8% in the last five days led by heavy volumes.

Besides, the appointment of Gregg Saretsky as a special advisor also gave some support to the stock price.

Google Cloud India hires NetApp veteran Anil Valluri

Mumbai, Dec 26 () Reflecting the woes of the broader economy, fund raising through IPOs plunged to a low Rs 12,362 crore in 2019, down a full 60 per cent from 2018 when the street mopped up Rs 30,959 crore. 
The outgoing year saw only 16 initial public offerings (IPOs) as against 24 in 2018, show the data collated by the premier database on the capital market Prime Database.
 That the economy is in bad shape -- Q2 GDP has come in at near seven-year-low of 4.5 per cent and there is no sign of any improvement going forward -- is clear from the fact that as many 47 companies who got Sebi nod to raise over Rs 51,000 crore through IPOs allowed their same to lapse.
 However, driven by offer-for-sale and qualified institutional placements, the street saw 28 per cent growth in overall fund raising at Rs 81,174 crore in 2019, against Rs 63,651 crore in 2018 but this is 49 per cent lower than the all-time high of Rs 1,60,032 crore raised in 2017, says Pranav Haldea, managing director at Prime Database Group.
 The year 2017 saw 36 IPOs mopping up Rs 67,147 crore, while 2016 saw 26 issues collecting Rs 26,494 crore and Rs 13,614 being raised in 2015 through 15 issues and 2014 being the worst at Rs 1,201 crore from five IPOs, show the data.
 The largest IPO in 2019 was from Sterling &amp; Wilson Solar which raised Rs 2,850 crore, while the average issue size was Rs 773 crore.
Only three of the 16 IPOs that hit the market had a prior PE/VC investment, a notable change from previous years. OFS by such PE/VC investors stood to Rs 803 crore, accounting for just 6 per cent of IPO amount. OFS by promoters at stood at Rs 7,513 crore, or 61 per cent of total IPO amount.
 Seven IPOs got mega responses of over 10 times (IRCTC at 109 times followed by Ujjivan Small Finance Bank 100 times), CSB Bank 48 times, Affle 48 times, Polycab 36 times, Neogen Chemicals 29 times and Indiamart Intermesh 20 times), one issue was oversubscribed by over three times, the balance seven were oversubscribed between one and three times.
 But from the listing side, the year was good with IPOs with strong debut trade. Of the 15 IPOs which got listed, seven gave a return of over 10 per cent, based on closing price on listing date. IRCTC gave a stupendous return of 128 per cent, followed by CSB Bank (54 per cent), Ujjivan (51 per cent), Indiamart Intermesh (34 per cent), Neogen Chemicals (23 per cent), Polycab (22 per cent) and Affle (17 per cent). 
 Significantly, unlike in previous years, only two IPO stocks are trading below the issue price now with the rest 13 stocks trading between 21 per cent and 170 per cent above the issue price as of December 23. 
 For the first time since the SME platform started five years ago, the IPO activity declined in 2019 as there were only 50 SME IPOs in the year collecting a paltry Rs 621 crore as against 141 issues in 2018 worth Rs 2,287 crore and 133 issues in 2017 raising Rs 1,679 crore and 67 issues raising Rs 537 in 2016 and 43 issues raising Rs 260 in 2015 and 40 IPOs collecting Rs 267 crore in 2014.
 The OFS to dilute the promoters' holding saw a huge increase from Rs 10,672 crore raised in 2018 to Rs 25,811 crore in 2019. Of this, government divestment accounted for Rs 5,871 crore or 23 per cent of the total led by it diluting its stake in Axis Bank in February worth Rs 5,358 crore, followed by SBI Life (Rs 3,524 crore) and HDFC Life (Rs 3,366 crore). 
 OFS accounted for 32 per cent of the total public equity markets amount in the year.
 The street saw 11 companies mobilizing Rs 35,238 crore through QIPs, which is 112 per cent more than Rs 16,587 crore raised in 2018. The largest QIP of 2019 was from Axis Bank raising Rs 12,500 crore, accounting for 35 per cent of the total QIP amount. QIPs were dominated by banks, NBFCs and realty companies accounting for 87 per cent (Rs 30,688 crore) of the overall amount.
 InvITs/ReITs also saw good traction with the year seeing the first ever ReIT listing by Embassy Office Parks raising Rs 3,874 crore. The overall amount raised through InvITs and ReITs was 127 percent more than in previous year.
 Of the total Rs 81,171 crore, fresh capital was Rs 45,937 crore or 57 percent and the remaining Rs. 35,234 crore being offers for sale.
But the year was bad for divestments as against the budgeted Rs 1,05,000 crore on Rs 17,744 crore or 17 percent has been achieved till date.
 According to Haldea, the IPO pipeline continues to remain strong with 21 companies holding Sebi approval to raise Rs 18,700 crore and another 13 wanting to Sebi not to raise Rs 18,000 crore. BEN MR

New Delhi, May 29 (IANS) As businesses around the globe adapt to the new normal, Google Cloud is helping a diverse set of organisations, from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based company Fluid AI efficiently manage their workloads across remote locations, Karan Bajwa, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, said on Friday. Bajwa, a senior industry veteran with over three decades of leadership experience who joined Google Cloud in March this year, said that most businesses and users in the country depend on Google Cloud to stay connected and get work done. "As Covid-19 runs its course, we at Google Cloud are working hard to deliver technology and business solutions to help millions of people stay connected. We believe today more than ever, we need to collaborate and innovate and build new features to make our tools helpful, secure and safe," he said in a blog post. Bajwa said that today, employees of NPCI have been able to efficiently manage work across remote locations where employees can securely work and collaborate with colleagues, clients and stakeholders. "Kochi-based conglomerate Muthoot Group, one of the largest financial services providers in the country has been using G Suite's collaboration tools to stay connected and carry business as usual during the lockdown period," he informed. Popxo, India's largest community of women online was able to accomplish a smooth transition to Google Cloud and optimise performance with the help of highly efficient tools and the support and collaboration from teams. According to Bajwa, real estate company Rustomjee can access every business application via Google Cloud Platform. "Fluid AI has leveraged our collaboration to spin up custom virtual machines on demand in the cloud for employees and stream it to them in a secure, cost effective way that is monitored and restricts data transfer," he added. Google Cloud has a rich list of customers in India, including Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Indiamart, Hero Motocorp, ICICI Prudential, L&amp;T Finance, LIC HFL, Manipal Hospitals, OYO Hotels and Homes, Truecaller, Wipro and others. In March, the company announced plans to expand its presence in India by launching a cloud region in Delhi, adding to its Mumbai region that was opened in 2017. Google Cloud this month appointed former Microsoft executive Anil Bhansali as Vice President of Engineering. In his new role, Bhansali will coordinate all software development support efforts for Google Cloud in India. Bhansali joins Google Cloud from Microsoft where he was Corporate Vice President of their Azure cloud division and site leader for their R&amp;D team in India. --IANS na/
