The investment has been made by Nazara Tech’s Singapore arm and two-thirds of the amount will be deployed over a period of three years. Nazara Tech’s shares rose by nearly 3% on Tuesday before cooling down later. Despite a recent rally, the gaming company’s shares are down by nearly 29% in 2022 so far. <div type="image" title="Nazara Tech 01_01_22 to 05_04_22." msid="90659666" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nazara Technologies&amp;#39; share price in 2022&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Apart from this, Nazara also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/vodafone-idea-partners-with-nazara-tech-to-foray-into-mobile-gaming/articleshow/90198674.cms">announced</a> a partnership with Vodafone Idea as it looks to push further into mobile gaming. At the time, Nazara’s founder and managing director, Nitish Mittersain said he sees gaming as not only the “future of entertainment”, but also the present. Now, the partnership with US-based Bitkraft allows Nazara to dip its toes into the gaming industry beyond India. Bitkraft is a US-based game fund that invests in the global e-sports ecosystem. “Over the course of the next few years, this investment will enable us to work towards realising our strategic vision of becoming the catalysts to empower the global gaming community and chart the next stage of growth in an increasingly connected and virtual world,” said Manish Agarwal, the chief executive officer of Nazara Technologies. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Complimenting its ‘Friends of Nazara’ network" comment="subhead" text="Complimenting its ‘Friends of Nazara’ network">Complimenting its ‘Friends of Nazara’ network</cmsannotation> Nazara has its own network called ‘Friends of Nazara’, which includes the likes of Kiddopia, Nodwin, Sportskeeda, World Cricket Championship 3, among others. Now, to compliment this, Nazara wants to tap into Bitkraft’s gaming network to further strengthen its Indian portfolio. “The partnership will help to increase the connectivity into the highly strategic Indian video games market. We have done multiple investments in the subcontinent and intend to do more in the future, in addition to supporting international investment to drive growth in India,” said Malte Barth, founding general partner at Bitkraft Ventures. According to a report by a research firm, Niko Partners, India is one of the fastest growing gaming markets in Asia, with a quarter of the gamers being Indians. In terms of revenue, the Indian gaming market is poised to grow three-fold to $1.5 billion by 2025, from $0.5 billion in 2021. In the same period, nearly 200 million new gamers are expected to join in, growing from the existing base of 340 million. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Particulars </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">2021 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">2025 projection </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Revenue </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$534 million </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#d9d9d9;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$1,490 million </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">No. of gamers </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">340 million </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-right:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;border-top:solid #000000 0.9978225000000001pt;vertical-align:bottom;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">529 million </td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody></table> Source: Niko Partners SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/vodafone-idea-partners-with-nazara-tech-to-foray-into-mobile-gaming/articleshow/90198674.cms">Vodafone Idea partners with Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed Nazara Tech to foray into mobile gaming</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/elon-musk-is-now-asking-if-people-want-an-edit-button-in-twitter/articleshow/90656209.cms">Elon Musk is now asking if people want an edit button after acquiring a 9.2% stake in Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/sbi-cards-stock-falls-steeply-after-2-7-crore-shares-of-the-company-were-sold-in-a-block-deal/articleshow/90657796.cms">SBI Cards’ stock falls steeply after 2.7 crore shares of the company were sold in a block deal</a>

However, by the end of the day the shares were trading at ₹1576. Nazara’s strong listing saw its first hint in the grey market premium – where it was <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/ipos/fpos/nazara-grey-market-premium-at-71-hints-at-strong-listing/articleshow/81743818.cms">trading</a> at 71% of its issue price of ₹1101.

It received bids for 51.20 crore equity shares against the issue size of 29.20 lakh equity shares.

Nazara holds the licenced mobile gaming rights of popular cartoon characters like Chhota Bheem, Motu Patlu and Shikari Shambhu. And it is the company’s stronghold in the booming gaming industry that has got a lot of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/nazara-technologies-ipo-opens-today-should-you-subscribe/articleshow/81542657.cms">attention</a> from investors. According to a report by ICICI Direct, the gaming industry in India is currently valued at $ 1.54 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31% to $ 3.53 billion by 2023.

And analysts agree that this gives the company an advantage. “The company has an operating leverage advantage in gamified early learning on account of captive development of content being undertaken in India, while generating revenues inter alia from North America. Further, its leadership in eSports and sports simulation and geographical reach across India, Middle East, Africa and North America provide a strong foundation for growth,” said the ICICI Direct report.

Analysts at GEPL capital agree as they said that while the growth has come at the expense of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margins and return ratios, the pivot was an essential strategy to foray into diverse lucrative opportunities, leveraging an ecosystem of partners and creating business moats. “All these acquisitions were funded through internal accruals. As the synergies and growth from these investments kick in, the margin profile and consequently return ratios will return back to a path of steady growth,” said the GEPL capital report. Nazara’s CEO Agarwal told Business Insider that their growth has come from their fundamental knowledge of the Indian gaming market and knowledge of the consumer trends. It also helps that Nazara holds the licenced mobile gaming rights of popular cartoon characters like Chhota Bheem, Motu Patlu and Shikari Shambhu. “A key factor to its success is the local knowledge, presence and focus on addressing the specific and unique opportunities and challenges in the regions it operates in. The Indian Gen-Z and millennial population form a significant portion of the gaming user-base, and companies including the company, have capitalised on the ever-growing interest of this population segment in sports and eSports through popular and relatable content,” said analysts at Kotak Securities. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Global presence another plus point for Nazara" comment="subhead" text="Global presence another plus point for Nazara">Global presence another plus point for Nazara</cmsannotation> Nazara’s presence across geographies also helps in its business potential, even as 41% of its revenue comes from India. It has established itself in 64 countries across Africa, Middle East, South East Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. “The company believes that expanding its offerings footprint to heterogeneous cohorts of gamers will further deepen its competitive moats to defend and grow its strong market position. Considering its leading position in the mobile gaming industry in India with a presence across emerging and developing countries and ongoing positive sentiments for new IPOs in the current scenario. We believe a decent listing gain is possible,” said analysts at BP Wealth.

Nazara holds the license mobile gaming rights of popular cartoon characters like Chhota Bheem, Motu Patlu and Shikari Shambhu. It has also established itself in 64 countries across Africa, Middle East, South East Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The public issue will see a sale of 4.96 million equity shares by Nazara’s promoters and investors. This year, Nazara’s <keyword id="3128913" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPO-debut">IPO debut</keyword> could kick off a series of tech IPOs in the country as startups like Zomato, Nykaa, Delhivery are headed for the public markets. The Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed Nazara had first filed the DRHP in January 2018 and had even got approval from SEBI for an IPO (Initial Public Offering). However it didn’t go ahead with the launch because of a <a href="https://inc42.com/buzz/post-sportskeeda-acquisition-nazara-technologies-looks-at-ipo-in-2020/">market slump. </a> The company has been preparing for its market debut with acquisitions and funding in its kitty. Strengthening its capital base Nazara counts stock broking giant Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, IIFL Asset Management, Sequoia Capital, Plutus Wealth Management as its investors. Earlier in January 2021, WestBridge Ventures, an early investor in Nazara, had exited the company through a secondary transaction as Plutus pumped in ₹500 crore into the company. According to<a href="https://yourstory.com/2021/01/ys-learn-nazara-technologies-gaming-startup-exit-westbridge-capital"> reports</a>, the exit gave WestBridge 40 times the return on its investment.

This announcement was after in the same year, Nazara had already acquired five companies. “Looking at the explosive growth in the interactive entertainment and sports ecosystem, Nazara has decided to up its aggression on investing in the emerging market ecosystem and support early stage startups accelerating the growth of these companies and the industry at large,” Nazara Technologies CEO, Manish Agarwal had said then.

The Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed Nazara Technologies is back with an IPO plan ⁠⁠— after a series of acquisitions and fundraisings

<ul><li>IPOs like Indigo Paints, Mrs Bectors Food, Chemcon Speciality Chemicals which got huge institutional demand during IPOs are down 14%-27% since listing.</li><li>Some of the IPOs where institutional players subscribed for more than 100 times the shares on offer, are in deep red right now.</li><li>Ujjivan Small Finance is one among such stocks, which is down 44% after more than a year of going public.</li></ul>Initial public offerings (IPOs) that get huge demand from institutional players are believed to be more valuable as investors trust their stock picking skills. However, this does not stand true in some cases. The Zomato IPO, for instance, saw institutional investors oversubscribing the issue by over 52 times. The shares of Zomato have gained over 6% since the listing. While one has to wait and watch if the stock lives up to the expectations, there are many other examples that show that the excitement of institutional investors does not assure good returns for retail investors who buy and hold shares. Some of the recent superhit IPOs like Indigo Paints, Mrs Bectors Food, Chemcon Speciality Chemicals, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank received more than 110 times subscription from qualified institutional buyers (QIBs). Commercial banks, public financial institutions, mutual fund houses and foreign portfolio investors registered with India’s market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) fall under this category. These stocks ⁠— where institutional players subscribed for more than 100 times the shares offered to them during the IPO, are in deep red right now ⁠— did see a bumper listing. However, not all of them have gone on to create wealth over a longer period of time. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

Indigo Paints’ IPO also made a strong listing on exchanges as the prospects of the paints industry looked good. And it is good for players like Asian Paints, whose stock has surged 71% in the last one year. <div type="image" title="asian paint and indigo paint chart" height="900" width="1200" msid="84964395" hostid="261"></div> However, for Indigo paints the bummer came from the over $50 billion <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/birla-is-making-asian-paints-and-berger-paints-change-colours-and-its-bad-news-for-those-who-got-shares-in-indigo-ipo-too/articleshow/80451063.cms">Aditya Birla Group</a>, which announced its intent to enter the paint business soon after the IPO. Aditya Birla group’s flagship company Grasim has announced to foray into the paint business with capital infusion of ₹5,000 crore over three years. <div type="image" title="grasim indus chart" height="900" width="1200" msid="84964418" hostid="261"></div> It was the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic that dented the stock of Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, which listed at over 50% premium to the issue price. The shares of the company have slipped 44% since listing as investors feared that many of its borrowers may not be able to repay their loans. A similar pain is visible in the bottomline of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/britannia-tata-motors-maruti-suzuki-and[%E2%80%A6]tocks-to-watch-out-for-on-august-2/slidelist/84962973.cms">Bandhan Bank</a> ⁠— which leads in lending to the microfinance segment ⁠— which shrank nearly a third in the April-June 2021 quarter. The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/mrs-bectors-food-ipo-investors-saw-their-money-double-on-listing-day/articleshow/79934860.cms">$73 million IPO</a> of the biscuit and bakery products maker Mrs Bectors Food was a hit⁠ — subscribed over <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/mrs-bectors-shares-are-down-32-from-the-peak-post-listing-analysts-say-it-is-still-overpriced/articleshow/80430865.cms">198 times</a>. It was the top IPO by subscription in 2020. After its listing on December 24, the stock had started declining. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/mrs-bectors-shares-are-down-32-from-the-peak-post-listing-analysts-say-it-is-still-overpriced/articleshow/80430865.cms">Analysts </a>had said the stock was overpriced and even expected correction. <div type="image" title="bector foods" height="900" width="1200" msid="84964433" hostid="261"></div> According to an Axis Securities’ IPO note released in December, the company holds mere 1% of the market share in the branded biscuit segment, whereas its other listed peer Britannia has about 28% share of the pie. And as feared, the April-June quarter was bad even for Britannia, which saw its profit shrink by nearly 29% despite measures to curb costs. Meanwhile, Laxmi Organics has gained 59% since its listing on March 25, 2021. The company is the largest manufacturer of ethyl acetate ⁠— used as a solvent in paints and perfumes, for instance ⁠— with over 30% market share in product category. <div type="image" title="Laxmi organic" height="900" width="1200" msid="84964453" hostid="261"></div> In July, Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem, G R Infraprojects and Clean Science and Technology made a strong listing with over 100% premium.
