The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has placed WeWork India’s initial public offering (IPO) on hold while also returning the draft offer documents of Star Agriwarehousing, as per news reports

Additionally, Indira IVF Hospital has withdrawn its draft IPO filings, which were submitted via the confidential route, as per media reports.

WeWork India’s IPO on Hold

WeWork India filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) in February 2024, planning to offer 4.3 crore shares through the Offer-for-Sale (OFS) route. 

As per the DRHP, Embassy Buildcon was set to offload up to 3.3 crore shares, while Ariel Way Tenant, the entity through which WeWork Inc holds its stake in the Indian entity, intended to sell around 1 crore shares.

WeWork India, founded in 2017, operates as part of the global WeWork network, which has a presence in 35 countries with approximately 600 wholly owned and licensed locations. The Embassy Group currently holds a 72.4% stake in WeWork India, while Ariel Way Tenant owns 22.28%.

Indira IVF Hospital Withdraws Draft IPO Filings

Indira IVF Hospital, a leading fertility clinic chain, had filed its IPO documents via the confidential pre-filing route, which allows companies to withhold public disclosure of certain details.

However, the company has now decided to withdraw its draft IPO filings. It is important to note that a pre-filed DRHP does not necessarily mean that an IPO will proceed, and companies can opt to pull back before making public disclosures.

SEBI Returns Star Agriwarehousing’s IPO Papers

In another development, Sebi returned the draft IPO papers of Agriwarehousing and Collateral Management Ltd, a tech-driven agricultural services firm, on March 19.

The company had initially filed its draft papers in December 2023, proposing an IPO consisting of a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to ₹450 crore, along with an OFS component of 2.69 crore equity shares by promoters and an investor, as per news reports.

Conclusion

The developments surrounding WeWork India, Indira IVF, and Star Agriwarehousing highlight the uncertainties and regulatory challenges in the IPO process.

 As these companies reassess their next steps, investors and market participants will be watching closely for further updates.
