Rayzon Solar to file draft papers for ₹1,500-cr IPO
Rayzon Solar Ltd
is planning to file its draft papers with markets regulator Sebi by the end of the month, as it prepares for about ₹1,500-crore initial public offering (IPO), people familiar with the plan said on Friday.
The Surat-based company has already roped in top investment banks to manage the public offering.
According to the people familiar with the plan, the company is looking to raise funds through fresh issuance of equity shares and proceeds are expected to be used for for its expansion plans.
An email to Rayzon Solar seeking confirmation of the draft papers filing and IPO details did not elicit a response.
The company is considering to enter the public market at a time when the domestic
solar manufacturing industry
is gaining traction, driven by import curbs, and rising global interest in non-China supply chains.
Founded in 2017, Rayzon Solar has emerged as one of the fastest-growing
solar PV module manufacturers
in the country. As per its website, the company has grown from an initial installed module manufacturing capacity of just 40 MW to 6,000 MW, across two facilities in Karanj and Sava, Gujarat, and is likely to expand further.
In March, the company raised around ₹138 crore through private placement of equity shares.

Will Sensex, Nifty open higher amid US–Vietnam trade deal impact?
Sensex and Nifty are likely to experience a modest increase in opening on Thursday, influenced by gains in Asian markets following a new trade agreement between the U.S. and Vietnam. This optimism comes as investors keep a close watch on the progress of a potential US–India trade Nifty futures were trading at 25,584 points at 8:18 am, suggesting an increase from the previous close of 25, Ambala, Sebi registered Research Analyst and Co-Founder of Stock Market Today, said "We can expect Nifty to find support between 25,300 and 25,230 and face resistance near 25,550 and 25,750 in the next session." Asian markets showed mixed reactions, with the MSCI Asia ex-Japan index up by 0.2%. This rise comes ahead of important U.S. jobs data and the consideration of a significant tax and spending bill in the U.S. the U.S. administration announced a 20% tariff on various Vietnamese exports, which President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday, just days before a July 9 deadline for imposing stricter between U.S. and Indian trade representatives are ongoing, aiming to reduce tariffs. However, unresolved issues in U.S. dairy and agriculture sectors persist, according to Broking said that the index (Nifty) tested the immediate support area of 25,400 during Wednesday ahead, index holding above 25,400 on a closing basis will lead to a pullback towards 25,900–26,000 levels in the coming sessions. However, failure to do so may lead to a healthy retracement or consolidation, with the index likely moving within the broader 25,200–25,700 range," it added.

WTC final is most-watched non-India Test on digital platform: JioStar CEO
The ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2025 between South Africa and Australia became the most-watched non-India Test match on a digital platform, according to JioStar's CEO – Sports and Live Experiences, Sanjog Gupta. The historic clash at Lord's drew massive attention from Indian audiences, with millions tuning in on JioStar despite India not being a part of the contest. In an interview with Variety, Gupta attributed the digital milestone to a well-timed cross-promotional strategy executed during IPL 2025. 'We didn't drop the full show at one go, but actually staggered it starting during the IPL,' he said, underscoring how JioStar leveraged the cricketing frenzy to create anticipation around the WTC final. $500 Million Investment in Sports Offerings As the Indian sports economy gears up to become a $130 billion industry by 2030, as projected by the Think Sports report by Google and Deloitte, JioStar is significantly scaling up its investments. Gupta revealed that the company is committing $500 million across production, marketing, and technology to deepen its presence in the live sports space. 'Our journey actually begins at that point [of rights acquisition] to grow fans for the property, to deepen fandom for that property, and to be able to extract disproportionate value from that property,' he noted. From cricket to coldplay: A broad sports vision Beyond cricket, JioStar's ambitions span diverse entertainment avenues. Reflecting on the platform's first major live event—Coldplay's concert at the Narendra Modi Stadium on January 26—Gupta called it a 'cultural zeitgeist moment.' The concert, held on India's Republic Day, symbolised the fusion of global music and national pride. Gupta further outlined a broader vision for the platform: to transform India into a sporting nation. 'Our mission is to serve one fan as many sports experiences as possible, powered by the interplay of technology and creativity,' he said, hinting at JioStar's long-term strategy of integrating immersive fan engagement with premium content. A Strategy Anchored in Fan Value Gupta reiterated that JioStar's investments in sports properties are guided by a four-point thesis centered on reach, engagement, monetization, and fandom. 'Till such time as sports, sporting properties, sports rights, continue to deliver on these four tenets of the investment thesis, we will continue to invest in them,' he asserted. With viewership benchmarks being redefined and technology playing a critical role in content delivery, JioStar aims to remain at the forefront of India's booming sports and live entertainment economy.

Indian techie accused by 5 US CEOs of scamming startups: What did he do?
At least five CEOs of US-based companies have warned startups against an Indian techie, accusing him of being a 'scammer'. Reason - the techie, Soham Parekh, had been moonlighting multiple firms. The issue was first highlighted by Suhail Doshi, the co-founder and former CEO of Mixpanel, who said that Parekh had been scamming multiple startups by working there simultaneously under false pretences. In a post on X, Doshi revealed that Parekh had been employed briefly at his company, Playground AI, but was let go within a week due to his dishonest behaviour. Doshi said he had cautioned Parekh to stop moonlighting at multiple companies but found that his warning was ignored. Despite being fired, Doshi claims that Parekh continued to take on multiple roles in different startups. 'PSA: there's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He's been preying on YC companies and more. Beware,' Doshi wrote. 'I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying/scamming people. He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses.' PSA: there's a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He's been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn't stopped a year later. No more excuses. — Suhail (@Suhail) July 2, 2025 Ex-employee's CV shared by Doshi To substantiate his claims, Doshi posted Parekh's CV on X, which listed his work at various startups, including Dynamo AI, Union AI, Synthesia, and Alan AI, in technical roles. Parekh's CV claims a bachelor's from the University of Mumbai and a master's from Georgia Tech, but Doshi cast doubt on the document's legitimacy, saying it was 'probably 90 per cent fake'. Doshi also mentioned that he had tried to have a conversation with Parekh in an attempt to make him understand the impact of his actions. 'I want to also say that I tried to talk sense into this guy, explain the impact, and give him a chance to turn a new leaf because sometimes that's what a person needs. But it clearly didn't work,' Doshi explained. He further confirmed that he had corroborated his story with more than six companies before deciding to make his accusations public. 'He's been doing this for years' The post sparked debate on social media, with many supporting Doshi's claims and some confirming similar experiences with Parekh. Nicolai Ouporov, co-founder and CEO of Fleet AI, added to the conversation by saying, 'He has been doing this for years and works at more than 4 startups at any given time.' Justin Harvey, co-founder of AIVideo, shared, 'I was THIS close to hiring him. The craziest part is he actually crushed the interview.' Another startup founder, Adish Jain, confirmed, 'Can confirm. This guy wasted our time for a month. did great in interviews. but he's a liar.' Matthew Parkhurst, CEO of Antimetal, said 'Soham was our first engineering hire in 2022. Really smart and likable... We realized pretty quickly that he was working at multiple companies and let him go.' Adish Jain, founder of San Francisco-based Mosaic, also confirmed Doshi's account. According to him, Parekh did 'great' in interviews, but "he's a liar". Michelle Lim, product head at Warp, said Parekh had been hired for a trial but the engagement was cancelled after allegations surfaced.
