Tata Sons-backed Tata Capital files updated draft papers with Sebi for IPO
Tata Capital, the non-banking finance company (NBFC) of the Tata Group, on Monday filed an updated draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the markets regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), for its mandatory listing on the bourses by September 2025. The company has already received the market regulator's approval for its IPO. According to the draft papers, the initial public offering (IPO) will consist of a total of 475.82 million shares, including a fresh issue of 210 million shares and an offer for sale (OFS) of 265.82 million shares. Tata Sons, which owns 88.6% of Tata Capital, will offload 230 million shares in the OFS, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) will offload 35.82 million shares. IFC holds a 1.8% stake in the NBFC. Tata Capital initially filed confidential IPO papers in April and received approval from India's market regulator last month to proceed. As part of the process, companies are required to submit an updated draft red herring prospectus and allow time for public feedback before filing the final version.

Despite HC order, Karnataka transport staff call bus strike from August 5
Bengaluru: Despite an interim order by Karnataka High Court, transport corporation employees across the state have decided to go on a strike from 6 am on Tuesday (August 5), likely disrupting bus services across the state. The Joint Action Committee of the Trade Unions of Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation pressed on with the strike after its marathon meeting with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah failed to resolve two contentious issues -- payment of 38 months' arrears amounting to Rs 1,785 crore and a 25 per cent pay hike from January 1, 2024. .We are prepared for protests on August 5: Karnataka HM G offered Rs 718 crore as arrears for 14 months (from January 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023), citing a July 2022 report by retired IAS officer M R Sreenivasa Murthy. KSRTC Managing Director Akram Pasha maintained that employees cannot go on the strike on Tuesday in view of the court order. As a plan B, the RTCs have roped in private players to operate bus services "anywhere they want" after the Transport Department issued an order under Section 66(1) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Private buses can charge fares along the lines of KSRTC and BMTC, he said. The Federation of Karnataka State Private Transport Associations has agreed to operate 4,000 buses, according to its president S Nataraj Sharma. The four RTCs are also roping in school and industrial buses. Pasha said RTC buses would also operate, with the strike having "only a 10-20 per cent impact". "We've also invoked the Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA). Employees cannot go on strike and we've cancelled their leave. Violations will result in disciplinary action," he told DH. The KSRTC and the BMTC urged employees to honour the court order and refrain from participating in the strike. Vijaya Bhaskar D A, general secretary of the KSRTC Staff And Workers' Federation acknowledged receiving the court order but said a decision on deferring the strike must be taken collectively by all six unions that are part of the joint action committee. "We received the court order late and could not decide. The strike is very much on,' he told DH. At the meeting, the CM called the demand for 38 months' arrears "unreasonable", noting that the government had implemented the 15 per cent pay hike only from March 1, 2023, based on the Sreenivasa Murthy report. .Karnataka Health Minister asks people not to be 'fooled' by attractive, colourful dishes."When we came to power (in 2023), the four RTCs had combined liabilities of Rs 4,000 crore. None of them is profitable. The government will not be unfair," he noted. He promised to discuss the pay hike after the legislative session and urged the unions to withdraw the strike. However, the committee representatives rejected the offer. Committee convenor H V Anantha Subbarao slammed the government, saying it cannot go back on arrears payments. He added that the 25 per cent hike would remain in effect until 2027. He said employees were "not afraid" of ESMA and were ready to go to jail. Bhaskar criticised the CM for asking them to withdraw the strike and come to a dialogue. "Talks can continue during the strike, too," he remarked. Pasha said the Sreenivasa Murthy report recommended against paying arrears for 24 months (2020 and 2021) due to Covid-19. He called the 25 per cent hike demand "too high". "The last raise was 15 per cent, which is above average. If the same is given, it will result in a financial burden of over Rs 1,700 crore. The four RTCs already have Rs 4,000 crore in liabilities towards PF payments, diesel expenditure, etc," he said.

Figma sheds $11 billion in market value days after blockbuster IPO
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Shares of Figma slumped 23% on profit taking on Monday, as euphoria over the design software firm waned days after its blockbuster initial public Francisco, California-based Figma shares had scored a massive 250% gain during their market debut on Thursday when they were priced at $33 but finished at $115.50, giving the company a market capitalisation of about $56.3 market value closed at $59.5 billion on Friday after its shares rose 5.6% to $122. The shares traded as low as $92.75 on Monday, down 23%, reducing its market value to about $45.2 billion."The excitement for Figma's business is not over, but the euphoria that's gone into its heady stock pricing seems to be deflating as those that wanted an early piece of the action bought in during market hours while some IPO recipients are probably taking sweet profits," said Michael Ashley Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital in Los in 2012 and led by CEO Dylan Field , Figma provides cloud-based collaborative design tools, with a roster of marquee clients including Alphabet, Microsoft, Netflix and owns about 54.2 million Figma shares worth about $5 billion after selling 2.35 million shares in the IPO. As is common in many Silicon Valley startups , Field retains 74.1% voting power over Figma given his holdings of Class B had abandoned a $20 billion deal to acquire Figma in 2023 following antitrust pushback from regulators in Europe and the UK."With Figma at a $46 billion market capitalization, Adobe's failed buyout offer must now seem like a distant memory," Schulman added.
