Wakefit, a mattress and furniture maker, and Pine Labs, a merchant payments company, are the latest in the series of firms to file their IPO papers. The companies poised to enter the stock market belong to a wide range of sectors, from fintech to consumer goods and logistics. Here's a list of the companies in the run and their IPO plans: Companies that have filed IPO papers Wakefit: The company filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), aiming to raise Rs 468 crore through a fresh issue. The funds will be used to open 118 new retail outlets and upgrade existing ones. The IPO also includes an offer-for-sale (OFS) component. Groww: This online investment platform has filed its DRHP confidentially. The IPO is estimated to be worth $700 million to $1 billion, and the shares will be listed on the NSE and BSE.
