IPO Objectives
The company intends to utilize the net proceeds from the fresh issue of the Hero FinCorp IPO for the following specific purposes:
- • Augmenting the capital base to meet future capital requirements for lending
- • General Corporate Purposes
(Hero FinCorp Ltd. will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale (OFS), as those funds are paid directly to the selling shareholders.)
Conclusion
Hero FinCorp IPO gives investors the chance to be part of the growth story of an SIF Mas and an NBFC, which happens to be mentored by one of India’s most renowned business families. Backed by the company’s strong revenue base of more than ₹9,800 crore and the company’s focused move towards the digital-first business in the retail lending segment, they can easily capture the accelerating growth in the demand for credit, both in Tier I and in the rural markets of the country. Though the banking sector itself is quite competitive, the company’s fusion with the Hero MotoCorp family gives it the perfect foundation for the next phase of execution as a publicly listed company.
