Startups not getting price they want may pause IPOs amid Trump’s tariff turmoil

Apr 8, 2025

Startups not getting price they want may pause IPOs amid Trump’s tariff turmoil SECTIONS By Rate Story Synopsis Almost a dozen venture-backed startups are in different stages of going public in the current financial year. These include Bluestone, Ather Energy, PhysicsWallah, Shadowfax, Zepto, Captain Fresh, Groww, Lenskart, Meesho, OfBusiness, Urban Company and Boat. Bluestone, Ather Energy, Boat and PhysicsWallah have already filed their draft papers with the stock market regulator. ETMarkets.com The broader stock market rout following US President Donald Trump’s move to impose “reciprocal tariffs” could prompt new-age companies in India to take a hard look at their plans to go public, founders, investors and bankers told ET. On Monday, as the benchmark 30-stock index Sensex closed nearly 4% down, industry executives said public investor sentiment could shift in favour of safer asset classes such as blue-chip stocks or gold, away from new-age companies attempting a stock market debut. “Public market multiples have compressed because of which companies planning IPOs (initial public offerings) will need to adjust their multiples and their valuations attractive enough to investors and provide them necessary safety margins,” said Ashish Dave, CEO, Mirae Asset Venture Investments India. “As a result of this, we could see some companies defer their IPOs. Investors will be less keen to buy newer assets, which are mostly small or midcap, because of the massive uncertainty.” Profitable companies, on the other hand, which aren’t excessively priced may still perform well, though they might also get slightly lower valuations, he said, adding that some companies might file for the approval of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and wait for an optimal market window to secure the desired pricing of the IPO. Almost a dozen venture-backed startups are in different stages of going public in the current financial year. These include Bluestone , Ather Energy , PhysicsWallah, Shadowfax , Zepto , Captain Fresh, Groww , Lenskart , Meesho , OfBusiness , Urban Company and Boat . Bluestone, Ather Energy, Boat and PhysicsWallah have already filed their draft papers with the stock market regulator. Live Events “If founders aren't happy with how the street is willing to price them, they might delay the IPOs… at least 20-30% founders might take that call,” said Kashyap Chanchani, managing director at The Rainmaker Group, a homegrown investment bank. “When the volatility ends, the market will settle into a new normal… and the founders will have to take a call whether they are ready to list at a valuation that reflects the new reality. If there’s maturity in the company, familiarity with the street and continued growth with improving profitability… then it’s just pricing that’ll stop you from going public,” he said. Wait and see A founder of a public markets-bound company, which has appointed bankers but is yet to file its papers, said that the startup is not in a hurry. “We can afford to wait because we recently closed a large-ish round. Right now the secondary public markets are in a weak situation, which means we won’t likely get the right valuation even though we are not at an expensive multiple,” said the founder, who did not wish to be identified. However, for certain investors, pressure to exit their holdings – now tough via the public markets – could lead them to finding liquidity from the private markets, which are yet to fully recover from the post-2022 funding winter. “Companies such as Zepto or OfBusiness, which are either looking to raise primary capital or are valued at rich PE (price-to-earnings) multiples will find it tough to crack deals… both in the public as well as private markets,” a venture capital investor, who has backed tech firms, told ET on condition of anonymity. “The importance of the right valuations was evident in the Delhivery-Ecom Express deal, where investors were not able to find the ideal value in the public markets and settled for a price that the buyer was offering,” the person said. New-age logistics player Delhivery acquired its rival Ecom Express – which was planning to go public – in a distress sale valuing the latter at Rs 1,407 crore, a nearly 80% cut from its last private market valuation of more than Rs 7,000 crore. Investors expect a rollover effect on private market investments. In 2024, local startups raised nearly $11 billion, slightly more than $9.6 billion raised in 2023, data from Venture Intelligence showed. “I expect most IPO plans will be pushed back by at least 12 to 18 months… and while we haven’t seen any repricing or pulled term sheets in the private market yet, deals will definitely take longer to close,” said Navin Honagudi, founder and managing partner, Elev8 Venture Partners, which has backed the likes of Smallcase and Astrotalk. A recent report by The Rainmaker Group said that about three dozen companies are in the pipeline to go public by 2026-27 and that collectively these companies are valued at around $100 billion. The pricing of these companies in the waitlist for the stock markets could also depend on their listed peers, which are also under pressure as a result of the broader selloff.
