Timely move: Startups on Sebi reforms

The easing of stock holding norms for founders and simplification of rules for existing investors to participate in offer-for-sale (OFS) components are expected to boost listing plans for new-age companies.

The ease in norms from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) comes at a time when multiple Indian startups such as PhonePe, Zepto, Pine Labs, among others are targeting to go public soon. Over 30 startups, with a cumulative value of $100 billion may go public in the next two years, a report by The Rainmaker Group shows.
