Vishal Mega Mart (VMM) has taken the confidential filing route to submit its draft offer document with market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).

Investment banking sources confirmed this development and said the fashion retailer's initial public offering (IPO) is aiming to mobilise as much as $1 billion.

With this, VMM becomes the fourth company to opt for the confidential filing route. Tata Play was the first company to tap this route, first introduced in 2022. It, however, scrapped its IPO plan. Last year, Softbank-backed hotel aggregator Oyo also made a confidential filing for its IPO. Meanwhile, in April, delivery giant Swiggy took the pre-filing route for its IPO, whose size is pegged at $1.25 billion.

VMM is fully owned by private equity (PE) players. In 2014, Partners Group and Kedaara Capital had completed the acquisition of the fashionfocused retailer from TPG Capital and the Shriram Group.

I might be from the Mufti family but will have to earn my respect here'

It's 11 am on Saturday. Bijbehara, the family bastion of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in southern Kashmir, is abuzz with loud songs and slogans blazing out of loudspeakers atop overcrowded load- carriers that follow a cavalcade of green fluttering vehicles. This is just another campaign day for ILTIJA MUFTI (pictured), a third-generation politician of the Mufti family contesting her maiden election. She is stepping into the shoes of her grandfather and PDP founder, Mufti Mohammad Syed, and mother, Mehbooba Mufti, both of whom started their political careers from the home seat of Srigufwara-Bijbehara. Following a door-to-door campaign, she speaks with Kaleem Geelani. Edited excerpts:
