India’s startup ecosystem is hogging the stock market limelight. Investors have barely digested food-delivery company Zomato’s initial public offering (IPO), and soon they will be served another. This time it will be a super-sized one from Paytm, India’s largest fintech and the second-biggest startup by valuation.
The numbers in the IPO prospectus filed by One97 Communications Ltd, which runs Paytm, are staggering. The 11-year-old company plans to raise $2.2 billion, or ₹ 16,600 crore, which would make it India’s biggest-ever IPO, displacing Coal India’s ₹15,000-crore offering nearly a decade back. The IPO is expected to value Paytm at between $25 billion and $30 billion. That is not only more than half the market value of State Bank of India, India’s largest bank, but also a steep jump from Paytm’s $16 billion valuation in November 2019, when it had raised $1 billion from global investment management firm T. Rowe Price and existing investors, the Chinese Ant Financial and Japanese conglomerate SoftBank.
The IPO market capitalisation values Paytm at 66-79 times (66-79x) its operating revenue of ₹2,802.41 crore in the fiscal year ended March 2021. That is a steep premium over the 25x revenue multiple of its global payments peers. It is also manifold higher than the 17x that China’s Ant Group, Paytm’s top investor, sought in its planned IPO last year.
