WeWork India Opens Rs 3,000 Crore Offer-for-Sale IPO at Rs 615–648

Strong anchor interest contrasts with cautious valuation views from brokerages.

Overview

  • The three-day offer runs October 3–7 as a 100% offer for sale of up to 4.63 crore shares, with proceeds to selling shareholders Embassy Buildcon and WeWork affiliate 1 Ariel Way Tenant rather than the company.
  • WeWork India allotted 2.08 crore shares to 67 anchor investors at the cap price of Rs 648, raising about Rs 1,348.26 crore ahead of the launch.
