    Participated · Equity · Jan 2026

    Founded in 2008, Amagi Media Labs provides cloud-based software that helps broadcasters and streaming platforms manage, distribute, and monetise video across smart TVs, smartphones, and other digital endpoints. The company operates three business lines—cloud modernisation, streaming unification, and monetisation & marketplace—and currently serves more than 45 % of India’s top-50 listed media and entertainment companies by revenue. Amagi booked ₹1,162 crore in revenue from operations in FY25, reflecting a 31 % CAGR between FY23 and FY25, and earned ₹6.40 crore in profit on ₹704.80 crore revenue during the six months ended 30 September 2025. At the upper end of its IPO price band, the firm is valued at over ₹7,800 crore.

  • Studds Accessories

    Participated · Equity · Oct 2025

    Founded in 1975, Studds Accessories designs, manufactures, markets, and sells two-wheeler helmets under its mass-market Studds line and its premium SMK line, alongside ancillary motorcycle gear such as luggage, gloves, rain suits, riding jackets, eyewear, and helmet locks. The company also contract-manufactures helmets for global brands like Jay Squared’s Daytona and O’Neal, distributing these products across Europe, the United States, and Australia. Studds exports to over 70 countries, giving it a broad international footprint in the Americas, Asia, and Europe while maintaining a significant domestic presence in India. Its customer base includes leading motorcycle OEMs such as Hero MotoCorp, Honda Cars India, Suzuki Motorcycle India, Eicher Motors’ Royal Enfield, and India Yamaha Motor, as well as institutional buyers like Central Police Canteens and the Canteen Stores Department. The firm is preparing for a ₹455 crore initial public offering priced between ₹557–585 per share, which implies a valuation of roughly ₹2,300 crore at the top end. Because the IPO is entirely an offer for sale, Studds itself will not receive any primary proceeds. The company recently completed an anchor investor allocation to bolster demand ahead of the listing.

JSW Cement plans to use ₹800 crore of the fresh-issue proceeds to build a new integrated cement plant in Nagaur, Rajasthan, and ₹520 crore for debt repayment, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The IPO had an anchor allocation of 7.35 crore equity shares at ₹147 each, and the public issue will close on August 11.
