(Dec 1): Temasek Holdings Pte Ltd-backed Atomberg Technologies Pvt Ltd is weighing an initial public offering (IPO) in Mumbai, that may raise around US$200 million ($259.15 million), according to people familiar with the matter.
The Indian consumer electronics firm, which also counts Steadview Capital Management LLC and Jungle Ventures Pte Ltd among its backers — has held discussions with investment banks recently about a potential listing and is expected to appoint advisers in the coming weeks, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
The IPO is likely to comprise a mix of new share issuance and secondary sales by existing investors, and could come as early as next year, they said.
A representative for Atomberg didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Atomberg is among a growing number of companies seeking to tap India’s buoyant IPO market, where firms have raised about US$19.6 billion so far this year, following a record US$21 billion in 2024, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Founded in 2012 by Manoj Meena and Sibabrata Das, the Mumbai-based company began by manufacturing fans and has since broadened its portfolio to include mixer grinders, water purifiers and smart locks, according to its website.
