Hold on to your seats, stock lovers! Bengaluru's big names, Lenskart and Wakefit, just got the official go-ahead from SEBI to launch their IPOs — and the numbers are spicy! Lenskart, the famous omnichannel eyewear retailer, is aiming to collect a whopping Rs 2,150 crore in fresh capital. Their IPO size could be as large as Rs 7,000-8,000 crore! What’s more exciting is its expected debut in the stock market in mid-November. Founder and CEO Peyush Bansal, along with co-founders Neha Bansal, Sumeet Kapahi, and Amit Chaudhary, will be part of this selling spree. Heavy-hitters like SoftBank, Premji Invest, Temasek, and Kedaara Capital are also joining in, putting their shares up for sale. It’s like a star-studded party headed for the stock market. On the other hand, the comfy mattress and furniture brand Wakefit is all set to raise Rs 468 crore through fresh shares. Their IPO also has an Offer For Sale (OFS) part, where shareholders, including founders Chaitanya Ramalingegowda and Ankit Garg, will sell 58.4 million shares. Not to be left behind, institutional investors like Peak XV Partners and Belgian firm Verlinvest are offloading 25 million and 10.2 million shares respectively. With both companies entering the market almost together, mid-November is shaping up to be a thrilling time for investors and market watchers. Ready to spot the next big winners?
