Fintech unicorn Moneyview files DRHP with SEBI for Rs 1,500 Cr IPO

Bengaluru-based fintech lender Moneyview has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise Rs 1,500 crore through an initial public offering (IPO).

According to the DRHP, the proposed IPO will comprise a fresh issue of equity shares worth Rs 1,500 crore, along with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 13.6 crore equity shares by existing shareholders.

Promoter and co-founder Puneet Agarwal will participate in the OFS alongside several early investors including Accel, Ribbit Capital, and Apis Partners. The company is also considering a pre-IPO placement of Rs 300 crore.

According to the DRHP, Axis Capital, IIFL Capital Services, BofA Securities India, and Kotak Mahindra Capital Company are the issue’s merchant bankers, while MUFG Intime India is the registrar.

The company plans to utilize Rs 650 crore from the fresh issue to support loan disbursals through Default Loss Guarantee (DLG) arrangements, while Rs 450 crore will be infused into its NBFC arm, Whizdm Finance, to strengthen its capital base. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Founded in 2014 by Puneet Agarwal and Sanjay Aggarwal, Moneyview operates a credit-led digital financial services platform offering personal loans, credit score tracking, insurance distribution, and other financial products. The company primarily focuses on serving new-to-credit and underserved customers across India.

The fintech platform claims to have built a user base of over 125 million, with a strong presence in Tier II and smaller cities. It works with more than 40 financial institutions, including banks, NBFCs, and insurers, to offer credit and other financial services.

On the financial front, Moneyview has reported strong growth and profitability in recent years. The company recorded operating revenue of around Rs 2,379 crore in FY25, while net profit stood at Rs 240 crore during the same period. For the nine months ended December 2025 (9MFY26), the startup reported revenue of Rs 2,409 crore and net profit of Rs 245 crore.
