Snapdeal parent AceVector files updated DRHP for D-Street debut



AceVector, the parent entity of ecommerce company Snapdeal, filed its updated draft red herring prospectus (UDRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Saturday.

As per the document, the company plans to raise up to Rs 300 crore through a fresh issue and an offer for sale of up to 6.38 crore equity shares.

As part of the OFS, Softbank and Nexus Venture Partners among others will be offloading shares. The company’s co-founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal will retain their entire stakes.

AceVector said that it plans to use the proceeds from the fresh issue for marketing and business promotion, building technology infrastructure of the marketplace business Snapdeal and for inorganic growth through acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

The company had received the go-ahead from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for its initial public offering (IPO), on November 17.

AceVector had filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) under Sebi’s confidential route in July. Besides Snapdeal, the company also owns more than 28% of ecommerce software platform Unicommerce, which is listed independently on the exchanges. It also owns the house of brands firm Stellaro Brands.
