ESDS Software Launches Rs 720-Crore IPO on August 28, with Price Band Set Between Rs 408 and Rs 429.

ESDS Software Solutions Ltd has set a price band of Rs 408-429 per share for its upcoming Rs 720-crore initial public offering (IPO), which will open for public subscription from August 28 to September 1. The offering is structured as a fresh issue of equity shares without any Offer-for-Sale (OFS) component, pointing to a strategic move to leverage capital for growth initiatives. Anchor investors will have a chance to bid a day prior, on August 27. At the upper end of the price band, the IPO would value the company at approximately Rs 5,028 crore, signaling strong initial market interest and valuation potential.

ESDS is benefiting from a growing market demand for cloud computing and related services, particularly as it positions itself as one of the few Indian companies offering a full spectrum of GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS). With over 2,500 customers, including significant players in banking, financial services, and public sector entities, the company’s fiscal 2026 results reveal a revenue stream of Rs 472.21 crore and a net profit of Rs 120.82 crore. This demonstrates healthy growth and profitability in a competitive landscape, aligning with broader market trends towards digital transformation and cloud adoption.

The funds raised from the IPO will predominantly be used to enhance and expand ESDS’s data center infrastructure, allocating Rs 576 crore specifically for cloud computing and technological upgrades, with the remaining funds earmarked for general corporate strategies. With 50% of the issue reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 15% for non-institutional investors, and 35% for retail investors, there is a robust framework designed to engage various segments of the investing population, which could enhance liquidity and investor interest post-listing.
