AceVector Filed UDRHP with SEBI to Float IPO: Starfish I Pte Under the Selling Shareholders

SoftBank-backed digital commerce company AceVector Ltd has submitted an updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP) to the markets regulator SEBI for its upcoming initial public offering (IPO).

AceVector IPO Details

AceVector IPO will feature a fresh issue of ₹300 crore, alongside a substantial offer for sale (OFS) of 6.38 crore shares by existing investors. According to the updated draft, the OFS will see share divestments by promoter entity Starfish I Pte Ltd and several other shareholders, including Nexus, Wonderful Star Pte Ltd, Kenneth Stuart Glass, Jason Ashok Kothari, Priyanka Shreevar Kheruka, Rupen Investment and Industries, and Centaurus Trading and Investments.

Despite the large OFS component, AceVector’s co-founders and key promoters Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, who jointly hold 34.63% of the company, will not sell any shares in the offering. Their combined stake includes Bahl’s 12.42%, Bansal’s 11.14%, and an additional 11.07% held through their joint entity, B2 Professional Services LLP. However, promoter entity Starfish, which owns 30.68%, will pare down a portion of its holding.

Use of IPO Proceeds

The company intends to deploy the fresh capital to bolster its technology infrastructure, expand marketing and promotional activities for Snapdeal, pursue strategic acquisitions, and address general corporate needs.

About AceVector Limited

Headquartered in Gurugram, AceVector operates three key businesses:

• Snapdeal, a value-driven lifestyle e-commerce marketplace
• Unicommerce, an e-commerce enablement SaaS platform
• Stellaro Brands, its omnichannel consumer brands division

On the financial front, AceVector posted ₹244 crore in operating revenue during H1 FY26, marking a 34% rise from ₹181 crore in the same period last year. Its adjusted EBITDA loss also improved significantly, shrinking to ₹9.2 crore, compared to ₹28 crore a year earlier.

AceVector began its IPO process in July through SEBI’s confidential pre-filing route, which allowed it to defer public disclosure of offer details until later stages. The company subsequently received regulatory approval in November, moving it one step closer to its public market debut.
