Mumbai: Fintech unicorn Razorpay has officially filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) through the confidential pre-filing route, marking a significant step toward its public market debut.
According to a public notice issued by the company, the IPO filing has been submitted under the confidential mechanism, allowing Razorpay to seek regulatory feedback before publicly disclosing detailed financial and operational information. The route has increasingly gained popularity among technology startups preparing for stock market listings.
Backed by Peak XV Partners, Razorpay is reportedly targeting a fundraise of approximately $500 million to $600 million through the proposed IPO. Earlier reports suggested that the fintech major could seek a valuation in the range of $5 billion to $6 billion, lower than its last private market valuation of $7.5 billion.
The company has appointed a consortium of leading investment banks to manage the public issue, including Axis Capital, Kotak Mahindra Capital, J.P. Morgan, and Citi. These institutions will assist in structuring, marketing, and executing the offering.
Founded in 2014, Razorpay has emerged as one of India’s leading fintech platforms, providing payment processing, banking, payroll, and financial infrastructure solutions to businesses. Over the years, the company has expanded its product portfolio beyond digital payments to build a comprehensive financial ecosystem for enterprises and startups.
The IPO filing comes amid renewed momentum in India’s technology and fintech listing landscape, with several venture-backed companies exploring public market opportunities. Industry observers view Razorpay’s move as one of the most closely watched fintech listings in the country, given its scale, market position, and role in India’s digital payments ecosystem.
