Fintech Start-Up IPOs
Fintech start-up IPOs witnessed a steep decline in 2022 due to funding downturn and valuation adjustments. Even in 2024, funding for Indian fintech startups dropped 15% year-on-year to $2.5 billion. But it surged by 60% year-on-year to $739 million in the first quarter of 2025 (January to March).
With a sharp revival in funding, a booming IPO market, and a more favorable regulatory climate, fintech startups are eagerly rushing to go public. Alongside Moneyview, companies like Razorpay, PhonePe, Pine Labs, PayU India, KreditBee, Turtlemint, Kissht, and Avanse Financial Services are all preparing for upcoming listings.
This IPO surge among fintech firms is part of a wider movement, with over 20 new-age tech companies—including Zepto, Physics Wallah, Urban Company, and boAt—planning to enter the public markets as early as 2025.
