Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has granted approval for the initial public offering (IPO) of FSN E-Commerce Ventures, the company that operates online beauty store Nykaa.
Sources said the Falguni and Sanjay Nayar-promoted company is looking to launch its maiden offering by the end of this month at valuations of more than Rs 45,000 crore ($6 billion).
The company also plans to expand its offline presence by spending Rs 35 crore on setting up new stores.

This comes after government agencies raised red flags over cryptocurrencies being used for money laundering. India is yet to come out with any regulations around cryptocurrencies or a way to tax them.
WazirX, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the country, said that between April and September this year, the exchange received 377 requests from legal enforcement agencies, out of which 38 requests were from foreign law enforcement agencies. The crypto exchange locked about 1,500 accounts.
