Paytm parent company One97 Communications, founded by Vijay Shekhar Sharma in 2009, is still waiting for the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to greenlight its initial public offering worth Rs. 16600 crore. The enterprise had filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for public listing a few months ago. The startup is looking to raise the mentioned Rs. 16600 crore through a fresh issuance of shares worth INR 8,300 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) worth INR 8,300 crore.
