The Indian IPO market in 2025 witnessed 18 new-age tech startups collectively raising ₹41,283 crore, showing increased investor participation and enhanced profitability across sectors like fintech, ecommerce, and coworking. 

₹41,283 Crore Raised From 18 Startup IPOs in 2025 

In 2025, 18 startups went public, a 38% increase from 13 in 2024 and more than triple the 5 seen in 2023. These listings raised a total of ₹41,283.2 crore. Of this, ₹21,474.3 crore came via Offer For Sale (OFS) and ₹19,809.6 crore through fresh equity issues. This marked an increase from 2024, when startups raised ₹29,070 crore via IPOs, combining ₹18,770 crore through OFS and ₹10,300 crore in fresh issues. 

The raised capital largely supported expansion strategies while OFS allowed early investors and founders to monetise their holdings after years of equity build-up. Fintech, consumer internet, electric vehicles, SaaS and coworking sectors saw significant traction in terms of IPO activity. 

Coworking Startups Mark Notable Participation 

Coworking firms played a major role, with 4 companies — Smartworks, DevX, IndiQube, and WeWork India — getting listed. Smartworks saw a 7.14% premium listing. In contrast, DevX and WeWork India had muted debuts. IndiQube listed 7.7% below issue price at ₹218.7. Despite mixed outcomes, the listings reflected interest in India’s flexible workspace sector.
