Prosus may be tagged promoter in Swiggy’s $1 billion IPO
As food and grocery delivery platform Swiggy prepares for its $1 billion IPO, its largest investor Prosus might be tagged as a promoter. Prosus has been trying to bring its holding in Swiggy to below 26% (from 33%). As per current rules, an investor with over 26% stake would be considered a promoter. This means there would be restrictions on how much they can sell post-IPO.
