Pine Labs to File IPO Papers with Sebi by June-End, Eyes INR 6,000 Crore Raise
According to people familiar with the matter, the company has mandated Axis Capital, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Jefferies as lead bankers for the issue

Payments and lending platform Pine Labs is preparing to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) by the end of June, according to a report by The Economic Times. The Noida-based company is aiming to raise between INR 5,000 and 6,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO) later this year, with a targeted valuation of $4–5 billion—on par with its last private funding round.
According to people familiar with the matter, the company has mandated Axis Capital, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citi, and Jefferies as lead bankers for the issue. "The plan is to file the DRHP by June-end and target the IPO towards the end of the year, depending on market conditions," one of the sources told ET.
Pine Labs, which was formerly headquartered in Singapore, recently completed a structural shift back to India through a reverse flip—a move finalized on April 9 following approval from the Chandigarh bench of the National Company Law Tribunal. The relocation is seen as part of a broader effort to align with Indian regulatory frameworks ahead of the public offering.
Regulatory filings for FY24 indicate the company posted an operating revenue of INR 1,743 crore, with a pre-tax loss of INR 339 crore. The company has been working toward a listing over several quarters, having initially pursued a U.S. IPO in 2022 by confidentially filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). That plan, which aimed to raise around $500 million, was later shelved.
The upcoming IPO puts Pine Labs in the company of other Indian fintechs moving toward public markets. Whether market sentiment will hold through the latter half of the year remains to be seen.

Lessons in Legacy and Leadership: Father's Day 2025
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. On factory floors, in boardrooms, and over dinner tables, the quiet power of fatherhood continues to shape how businesses are led, evolved, and inherited. This Father's Day, we look beyond tradition to see how the legacy of leadership passes from father to child — not in ceremonial handovers, but in shared decisions, changed perspectives, and the subtle transformation of what it means to lead. Viren Marwaha, Director – Sales & Marketing at DRRK Foods, calls it "rice bootcamp." Growing up under the guidance of his father, Amit Marwaha — the Managing Director and CEO of the company — meant learning not just the business, but the very grain it dealt with. "One thing my dad always drilled into me was: before you monitor anything, know everything," Viren recalls. "He wasn't joking — I had to learn how a paddy is grown, what a grain of rice goes through before it reaches the bag, and even which document you need to ship it to the U.S." Today, that obsessive attention to detail defines his leadership. For Amit, working with his son has been more than a familial milestone — it's been a professional evolution. "His clarity on data, branding, and consumer behavior has influenced the way I now look at strategy," he shares. "While my foundation has been built on intuition and experience, his perspective has helped refine our decisions with sharper insights and a long-term vision." Similar stories echo across industries, from logistics to cosmetics, from legacy manufacturers to technology-driven innovators. Each one shows the subtle reshaping of traditional leadership — not a breaking from the past, but a sharpening of it. At CJ Darcl Logistics, President Nikhil Agarwal credits his father, N.K. Agarwal, with instilling the importance of resilience and relationships. "A true leader is defined by how they respond when situations don't go in their favour. One of the most important lessons he instilled in me is the value of people and relationships," he says. That people-first principle, Nikhil notes, has helped him retain a loyal workforce and scale sustainably. His father, in turn, is candid about what the next generation has brought in. "While I have shared several real-world lessons in the business with my son, he has made me understand what all technology can do," says N.K. Agarwal. From strategic logistics solutions to tech-enabled safety, he credits his son's vision for pushing the company forward — not by erasing its past, but by layering innovation on top of foundation. This intergenerational symbiosis — tradition influencing future, and the future reshaping tradition — defines the story at Insight Cosmetics as well. Mihir Jain, Sales and Marketing Director, says his father's financial discipline and strategic thinking shaped him. "Observing how he remained composed during tough times helped me understand the value of resilience and focused thinking," Mihir says. He calls his own style "innovation-driven," but firmly grounded in the financial and ethical principles laid down by his father. That influence has flowed both ways. "Mihir's emphasis on data-driven decision-making has reshaped how we approach business strategies," says his father and co-founder. "His calm, composed approach during high-pressure situations has influenced me to slow down, assess more deeply, and respond with greater clarity." For Twisha Kotecha, Head at Strategic Innovations, watching her father, Pinkesh Kotecha, lead Ishan Technologies offered a masterclass in conviction. "His ability to stay grounded while scaling a national enterprise taught me that true leadership lies in balancing ambition with integrity," she says. Now part of the business herself, her focus on structured, data-led decision-making has led her father to rethink long-held assumptions. "Her clarity, discipline, and fresh perspective have reminded me that staying relevant means being willing to learn, adapt, and evolve," he says. Even in manufacturing-heavy sectors where change often comes slow, sons and daughters are redefining legacy. Tushar Gupta of Thermocool Home Appliances recalls watching his father, Rajeev Gupta, "handle every aspect of the business, often with limited resources." Today, Tushar and his brother Tanuj lead with digital tools and automation, but remain rooted in the values of trust and reliability. "We are not replacing any legacy; we are evolving it into the future," Tushar says. That evolution is something Rajeev Gupta celebrates. "They've shown me that change is not something to fear but a requirement," he says. From marketing to manufacturing, his sons have introduced systems that are smarter and faster — but they haven't lost sight of the company's original mission. "They've taught me that legacy isn't something you leave behind but what you build together." And sometimes, the bond between father and child becomes a literal playground for invention. Riaan Chandalia, son of Rahul Chandalia, Founder & Director of WOL3D, sums it up in a way only a child can. "My papa makes cool things with big machines. But the coolest thing he does… is listen to me," Riaan says. A simple idea for a "wiggly toy" turned into Vinglits, a brand co-created with his father. "He lets me draw, dream, and sometimes even decide." In these stories, the thread of Father's Day isn't nostalgia. It's legacy made dynamic — passed down, challenged, and refined. These aren't tales of succession. They are stories of partnership. And as these fathers and children show, the most enduring legacies aren't just inherited — they are co-authored.

Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Ibotta, Inc. (IBTA) Contact Kaplan Fox Before Deadline on June 16, 2025
NEW YORK, NY - June 14, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ibotta, Inc. ('Ibotta' or the 'Company') (NYSE: IBTA) on behalf of Ibotta investors. CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CASE If you are an investor in Ibotta and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003. DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than June 16, 2025 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery. Ibotta purports to be a technology company that allows consumer packaged goods brands to deliver digital promotions to consumers through the Ibotta Performance Network. On April 18, 2024, Ibotta conducted its Initial Public Offering ('IPO'), offering 6,560,700 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $88 per share. The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that; (i) Ibotta's data measurement system did not provide accurate, precise, and real time client campaign and consumer data measurement; (ii) the Company's business mix had shifted and was generating less revenue; and (iii) Ibotta had 'exhausted' its clients' budgets, negatively impacting fourth quarter 2024 revenue and expected first quarter 2025 revenue. According to the action, on February 26, 2025, after market hours, in connection with reporting fourth quarter 2024 and full year 2024 financial results, Ibotta's CEO Bryan W. Leach ('CEO Leach') explained just how deficient Ibotta's data measurement technology was by stating that 'it has become clear that we need to bring to market a more rigorous form of measurement that goes beyond the industry standard return on ad spend, or ROAS, framework.' Further CEO Leach allegedly announced that Ibotta would transform into a programmatic advertising company, which according to the complaint demonstrates that, at the time of the IPO, Ibotta's data measurement infrastructure was not suited for heavy reliance on third party platforms. On this news, the price of Ibotta's stock fell $29.08, or nearly 46%, to close at $34.09 on February 27, 2025, more than 60% lower than the IPO price of $88 per share.
