Upcoming IPO: Sagility India Limited's IPO is going to open tomorrow. It is a healthcare focused service provider company, whose subscription will open tomorrow on Tuesday. Before the issue opening, the company's shares are trading at a premium of Rs 3 in the unlisted market.


This can be compared to the IPO pricing of Rs 28-30 per share, which translates into a listing gain of about 10% if the trend continues. Just before the IPO opened, Sagility India Limited's parent company Sagility BV raised about ₹366 crore by selling 2.61% stake to 9 institutional investors.

All proceeds, excluding expenses, will go to the selling shareholder, and Sagility India will not receive any money. The

original IPO size was reduced from the 98.44 crore shares initially proposed in the preliminary filing. Sagility BV, a subsidiary of EQT Private Capital Asia, is the sole promoter of Sagility India and will reduce its stake to 15% to hold 85% post-IPO.
