Ola Electric eyes IPO by 2023-end

According to the media reports, India's Ola Electric is planning a stock market listing by the end of 2023.

The company has appointed investment bank Goldman Sachs and domestic bank Kotak to manage the share sale. More investment banks are likely to be added closer to the deal.

Backed by investors such as SoftBank Group Corp and Tiger Global Management, Ola Electric was valued at US$ 5 billion in its last fundraising in 2022.

The electric mobility startup, backed by some of the world's biggest private market investors, including SoftBank and Tiger Global, held meetings with several domestic and foreign investment banks in May to initiate preparations for an IPO.

Following these discussions, Kotak Mahindra Capital and Goldman Sachs are currently in advanced talks to be selected as financial advisors, with Kotak closely collaborating with the startup to determine the IPO's structure.

The company has also engaged Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas as legal advisor for the IPO.

The electric scooter company has not finalised how much it plans to raise in the initial public offering (IPO). If it sells 10% in the IPO - the minimum legally required to list - at that price, it could be India's biggest IPO this year amid tepid market conditions.

Note that the electric vehicle (EV) megatrend is a once in a century revolution happening right in front of us.

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and India's top EV stocks are set to benefit from this shift.
