What to watch
- DRHP filing, named lead managers, proposed issue structure and stated use of proceeds.
- Revenue growth, gross margin, EBITDA trajectory, cash burn and operating-cash-flow disclosures in pre-IPO financials.
- Monthly VAHAN registrations, market-share movement and dealer-count expansion versus Ola Electric, TVS, Bajaj, Ather and Hero MotoCorp.
- Any change to central or state EV incentives, battery-safety rules, import duties or financing regulations.
- New product launches, battery warranty changes, recalls or service-quality indicators that affect brand trust.
- IPO-market performance of Indian consumer, mobility and EV issuers, which will shape valuation appetite.
- Evidence of promoter OFS size: a larger secondary component may be viewed as liquidity-driven rather than purely expansion-led.
- Appoint merchant bankers, legal advisers and auditors; begin IPO readiness, governance and financial-reporting upgrades.
- Finalize the fresh-issue versus offer-for-sale mix and articulate use of proceeds around capacity, distribution, R&D and working capital.
- Accelerate dealership additions in tier-2 and tier-3 markets, where electric scooter adoption and financing availability are expanding.
- Launch or refresh models targeting high-volume scooter price bands, with emphasis on range, battery warranty and connected features.
- Secure battery-cell, motor, electronics and financing partnerships to reduce supply-chain volatility and improve retail conversion.
- Use recent Series D capital to demonstrate revenue growth, improving unit economics and controlled warranty/service costs ahead of DRHP filing.
