Tracxn Technologies aims to raise Rs 309.38 crore via its initial stake sale, which is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 3.86,72,208 equity shares with a face value of Re 1 each by the promoters and existing shareholders of the company.
The promoters – Neha Singh and Abhishek Goyal – along with Flipkart founders Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal are looking to offload shares in OFS along with India IV, SCI Investments V, Kolluri Living Trust, Milliways Fund and others.
The company will not receive any proceeds from the issue and the entire sum will go to the selling shareholders. The company said that it intends to gain the benefits of listing the shares on the stock exchanges.
