Indiqube Spaces IPO to open on Wednesday: Here are 10 key things to know from the RHP
Indiqube Spaces IPO: The initial public offering (IPO) of Indiqube Spaces is set to open for subscription later this week. The company is already enjoying a strong grey market premium (GMP), signaling a strong buzz around the issue. Indiqube Spaces IPO is scheduled to run from July 23 to July 25, with the tentative listing date fixed as Wednesday, July 30. The issue is priced in the range of ₹ 225 to ₹ 237 per share, with investors allowed to bid in lots of 63 shares. Ahead of the issue opening, here are ten key things that investors should know from the company's red herring prospectus. Indiqube Spaces IPO is a mix of fresh issue of ₹ 650 crore and an offer for sale of ₹ 50 crore. Therefore, the total issue size is ₹ 700 crore. Rishi Das and Meghna Agarwal are the promoter selling shareholders in Indiqube Spaces IPO. Each promoter is looking to offload stake worth ₹ 25 crore. The company plans to use the funds raised from the IPO to fund capex towards establishment of new centres, repayment of certain borrowings availed by the company and for general corporate purposes. While the company's revenue has seen a steady growth to ₹ 1059 crore in FY25 from ₹ 831 crore in FY24 and ₹ 580 crore in FY23, it remains a loss-making entity. In FY25, the company posted a loss of ₹ 140 crore while the figure stood at ₹ 341.5 crore in FY24. In the preceding fiscal, the loss was at ₹ 198 crore. Awfis Space Solutions is the only listed peer of Indiqube Spaces, according to the company's RHP. Unlike Indiqube, Awfis swung to profit in the recently concluded fiscal 2024-25 (FY25). Indiqube Spaces offers workplace solutions, dedicated to transforming the traditional office experience. Its diverse solutions range from providing large corporate offices (hubs) to small branch offices (spokes) for enterprises and transforming the workplace experience of their employees by combining interiors, amenities and a host of value-added services. India is one of the largest flexible workspaces markets in APAC with a total stock of over 72 Mn sq. ft. in Tier 1 cities as of H1 CY2024. Favorable demographics, availability of quality talent pool and relative competitive cost for talent may position India as a preferred destination for setting up bases for MNCs, and corporates for their Global Capability Centres (GCCs). These companies may also consider evaluating flexible workspaces to expand their operations in India which may also help in enabling them to outsource some elements of their value chain including but not limited to office experience and running cost-efficient operations. This may also support the existing demand for flexible workspace solutions. Several risks of picking Indiqube Spaces IPO are: The business is sensitive to real estate market fluctuations and we have witnessed a decline in our occupancy rate from 83.68% as of March 31, 2023 to 80.21% as of March 31, 2024. The company does not own the properties where its centers are located. Any defect in the title and ownership of such properties may result in centers being shut down, result in relocation costs and termination of client agreements, which may adversely impact business. In the Indiqube Spaces IPO, 75% of the offer is reserved for QIBs, 15% is allocated for NIIs and the remaining 10% for retail investors. ICICI Securities and JM Financial are the book running lead managers while MUFG G Intime India Private Limited is the registrar to the issue. Indiqube Spaces IPO GMP today is ₹ 40. This means, in the grey market, the IPO shares are available at a ₹ 40 premium. At this GMP and the current issue price, Indiqube Spaces shares could list at ₹ 277, a premium of 17% over the upper end of the IPO price of ₹ 237.

Smartworks eyes 35% annual growth post-IPO amid rising office demand
Gurugram-based shared office space provider and D-Street debutant Smartworks Coworking Spaces aims to maintain an annual growth rate of 35 per cent, having added 1.5 million square feet to its overall portfolio within the January–March 2025 period, versus an average of 1.3 million for each year since 2022. 'Over the past three years, we have expanded to 10 million from 6 million square feet. In the first three months of 2025 alone, we added another 1.5 million square feet, bringing our total to over 11.5 million square feet,' said Neetish Sarda, managing director, Smartworks. 'Given the strong potential of the Indian market, we are confident in our ability to scale further. Despite operating on a high base, we have maintained a 35 per cent growth rate over the last couple of years, and we expect this momentum to continue.' The company's oversubscribed IPO, which listed at Rs 445.1 — a near 10 per cent premium to its issue price — taking its market cap to Rs 5,067 crore, follows Awfis Space Solutions, which listed last year and now has a market cap of over Rs 4,662 crore. A slew of public listings by co-working space providers including WeWork India, Indiqube and DevX are in the works, largely driven by the increasing demand for co-working office spaces across markets and sectors. According to Anarock, co-working spaces were the second-highest demand-generating segment for leasing office spaces in the January–June period, during which net office space absorption rose to 26.8 million sq ft, up 40 per cent from the same period a year earlier. Smartworks is aiming for a self-sustaining growth cycle, driven by strong cash inflows on the back of rising demand for new and Grade A office spaces, alongside co-working and flex spaces. In FY25, the company reported Rs 250 crore in rental revenue. While overall revenue grew sevenfold and cash profits tripled, adjustments under Deloitte's audit process impacted the reported financials, resulting in a net loss of Rs 63 crore for the fiscal year, the company said. Harsh Binani, executive director, said the company is expanding into high-performing cities beyond the top seven and scaling up its presence with larger buildings and increased capacity, which will add to its current portfolio of 54 offices across 14–17 cities in India, as well as in Singapore. 'In the new cities we're entering, we typically launch with one or two centres.' Smartworks has a client base of around 728 companies, including prominent names such as Google, Larsen & Toubro, Nothing, Groww and Ernst & Young. The shared office space provider currently offers a total seat capacity of over 2.3 lakh across its centres. Binani noted that the company has increased its profits 3.5 times and doubled its revenue over the past two years — a momentum it intends to continue. 'We're currently growing 1.5 times faster than any other player in the market, and we expect this momentum to continue.' With the IPO, the total offer size comprises a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to Rs 445 crore and an offer for sale of up to 3,379,740 equity shares by certain existing shareholders. Smartworks has allocated Rs 114 crore from the proceeds for debt reduction and Rs 226 crore for fit-outs. On Thursday, co-working space provider Smartworks made its stock market debut on the NSE and BSE, following the successful completion of its initial public offering (IPO). The company's shares listed at Rs 436.10 on the BSE, marking a premium of Rs 29.10. On the NSE, the stock opened slightly lower at Rs 435, reflecting a premium of Rs 28 per share.
