Digit’s IPO will open on Wednesday (May 15) and the startup has set a price band of INR 258-272 per share for the public issue. 

Kohli and Sharma invested in Digit in February 2020 and were issued the shares at INR 75 apiece. In total, the two invested a total of 2.5 Cr. While Kohli invested INR 2 Cr, Sharma bought 66,667 shares for INR 50 lakh.

At the upper end of the IPO price band, Kohli and Anushka’s shares are worth INR 7.25 Cr and INR 1.81 Cr, respectively, valuing the combined investment at INR 9.06 Cr. 

After multiple delays, Digit’s IPO will open this week. It comprises a fresh issue of shares worth INR 1,250 Cr and an offer for sale (OFS) for 1094.5 Mn shares. The startup is looking to raise over INR 2,600 Cr at the upper end of the price band.

Among the promoters, Go Digit Infoworks Services Private Limited is selling up to 54,755,614 Equity Shares via the OFS. 

In March this year, the insurtech unicorn refiled its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its IPO after the market regulator flagged concerns around its employee stock appreciation plans. It previously filed its DRHP in August 2022. 

Founded in 2017 by Kamesh Goyal, Go Digit offers insurance policies across verticals like health, motor vehicle, travel, property, and more. 

The startup counts investors, including cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma, and marquee investors Fairfax and Peak XV.

Earlier this month, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) imposed a penalty of  INR 1 Cr on Go Digit General Insurance for non-disclosure of a change in the conversion ratio of compulsorily convertible preference shares (CCPS).
