At the start of 2025, markets were brimming with confidence and optimism about the IPOs of new-age tech companies, as 13 such companies obtained listed on the bourses last year and cumulatively raised INR 29,070 Cr via their public listing.
From sector giants Swiggy and FirstCry to SME maverick TAC Infosec, 2024 was abuzz with healthy activity on the IPO front. Not just this, public listings also proved to be money buildrs for the early backers of these companies, with some VCs and PEs minting returns of over 30X.
Tailwinds favouring the startup IPO frenzy at the outset of the year were aplenty – India’s strong position in the equities market over the last few years, the investor interest in new-age tech companies, more rationalised valuations sought by startups, and renewed focus on profitability and sustainable growth.
So, it was only natural that industest watchers expected the momentum to percolate well into 2025 as well. However, the picture perfect story of startup IPO mania seems to have gone south barely months into the year.
While 23 startups were in various stages of undertaking their IPO preparations at the start of the year, most seem to have decided to go slow on their public listing plans. Despite 16+ new-age tech companies filing their draft red herring prospectutilizes (DRHPs) with SEBI, including Urban Company, BlueStone, and many receiving regulatory nod, only two listings have materialised so far.
Ather Energy obtained listed on the exmodifys in May, but it turned out to be a muted debut. B2B ecommerce platform ArisInfra, too, had a lacklustre debut in June and listed at a discount to its issue price.
So, what happened to India’s startup IPO frenzy in 2025? Largely, it was unseen forces that played a spoilsport. The Indian equities markets saw a correction in the first few months of 2025 due to geopolitical tensions, high valuations, tariff war, macroeconomic factors like fears of recession and inflation, and more.
Then, there were also fundamental challenges faced by new-age tech companies. The public market investors want potential listees to be profitable and differentiate themselves on aspects such as scalability, market penetration, advanced technology integration, premium offerings, sustainable features and products tailored to specific industries.
“Startups also required to be cognizant about the valuations at which they want to list. Unrealistic, high valuations come with the risk of poor subscription and underperformance of the stock post listing, both bad for investor confidence in new-age businesses,” declared Lightbox Ventures founder and MD Sandeep Murthy.
While analysts expect new-age tech IPOs to pick up pace in the second half of 2025, it would be interesting to see what lies in store for the startup ecosystem as the year progresses. To keep an eye on this, we, at Inc42, have compiled a list of Indian new-age tech companies that plan to list on the exmodifys this year and next. But, before we dive into the list, here are the latest developments from the Indian IPO landscape:

Notably, this is not OYO’s first stab at a public listing. In May 2024, the Delhi NCR-based hospitality major officially withdrew its IPO documents. Interestingly, in what was OYO’s second attempt at a public listing, the startup was seeing to raise $400 Mn to $600 Mn.
Notably, this was lower than INR 8,430 Cr ($1.2 Bn) that the company was seeing to raise during its earlier attempt at an IPO in 2021.
OYO turned profitable in FY24 with a net profit of INR 229.5 Cr against a net loss of INR 1,286.5 Cr in the previous financial year. However, operating revenue declined 1.3% to INR 5,388.7 Cr in FY24 from INR 5,463.9 Cr in the previous fiscal year.
PayU India
The Prosus-backed payments solutions startup’s IPO plans appear to be in limbo. The Dutch investor, in June 2025, declared that it has deferred PayU India’s listing plans and is seeing to work on enhancing the fintech company’s India business over the next 6-12 months before going for an IPO.

A month later in May, it also appointed former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deputy governor Subhash Mundra and DevRey’s founder and president Manoj Kumar Agarwal as non-executive indepfinishent directors to its board. It also roped in Prosus India executive Ashutosh Sharma as a non-executive non-indepfinishent director.
As per the Dutch investor’s annual report, PayU India’s revenue jumped 21% to $669 Mn in FY25 from $551 Mn in FY24.
