On July 12, Indian digital payments company Paytm will seek shareholder permission for what could be India’s largest-ever IPO.
Its progress will draw interesting comparisons with the fate of its Chinese equivalent – and notable shareholder – Ant Group.
According to a notice calling an extraordinary shareholder meeting in Delhi, Paytm will sell 120 billion rupees ($1.6 billion)-worth of new shares.
That is understood to be part of a combined primary and secondary share sale that will raise the equivalent of around $3 billion, with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and ICICI Securities as joint bookrunners.
