S45 has built India’s first AI-native investment banking platform that streamlines the data-heavy, compliance-intensive tasks involved in taking companies public. The software reduces Draft Red Herring Prospectus preparation to seven days, provides a 30-minute IPO readiness assessment, and supplies boards and CFOs with real-time dashboards covering governance, regulatory mapping, and investor demand analytics. During its pilot phase the company supported 26 IPOs across technology, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial sectors, helping raise ₹1,120.8 crore while achieving an average 168.4× subscription and 43.1 % average listing gain. The platform’s promise of speed, transparency, and institutional-grade precision addresses the execution bottlenecks that accompany India’s surging IPO volumes. Founded by Deepank Bhandari, Pankaj Harlalka, Aman Singh, and Tushar Sharma, S45 targets both SME and mainboard listings as its core customer base. The company positions itself as an infrastructure layer for capital markets, aiming to replace fragmented manual workflows at traditional investment banks and Big 4 advisory firms with AI-driven automation. A recent $5 million funding round provides fresh capital to scale the technology and expand market reach.
