Bengaluru-based digital insurer, ACKO, is on the cusp of entering the stock market, with ICICI Securities, Morgan Stanley, and Kotak Securities as key players leading the charge. According to informed sources, the company is eyeing an initial public offering (IPO) valuation in the range of USD 2-2.5 billion.
The impending IPO consists of a fresh issue of shares alongside an offer-for-sale from existing backers. Founded by Varun Dua, ACKO has raised USD 583 million from a bevy of investors, shifting the industry paradigm with a direct-to-consumer business model that bypasses traditional agents.
ACKO has skyrocketed as a prominent player in India's insurance industry, achieving FY25 revenues of Rs 2,837 crore, a remarkable 35% increase from the previous year. Furthermore, the company significantly reduced its net losses by 37% annually, standing out against the broader sector's minimal growth.
