The IPO is entirely an Offer-For-Sale (OFS) by promoter General Atlantic Singapore Fund Pte. Ltd, according to the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP).
The company will not receive any proceeds from the offer as all of it will go to the promoter selling shareholder.
KFin is majority owned by funds managed by General Atlantic, a leading global private equity investor, which holds a 74.94 per cent stake in the company. Last year, Kotak Mahindra Bank had acquired 9.98 per cent stake in the company.
