Financial services platform KFin Technologies has filed preliminary papers with market regulator Sebi to raise Rs 2,400 crore through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). The IPO is entirely an Offer-For-Sale (OFS) by promoter General Atlantic Singapore Fund Pte. Ltd, according to the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP).
The company will not receive any proceeds from the offer as all of it will go to the promoter selling shareholder. KFin is majority owned by funds managed by General Atlantic, a leading global private equity investor, which holds a 74.94 percent stake in the company. Last year, Kotak Mahindra Bank had acquired 9.98 percent stake in the company.
The company provides services to asset managers and corporate issuers across asset classes in India. It also provides solutions, including transaction originating and processing for mutual funds and private retirement schemes in Malaysia, Philippines and Hong Kong.
