Bollywood’s Biggest Names Back ₹792 Cr IPO: Sri Lotus Developers Set for Glamorous Market Debut
Bollywood’s heavyweights are coming to the boardroom. After being successfully cleared by SEBI for a ₹792 crore initial public offering, Sri Lotus Developers and Realty, a luxury real estate company entered by some of the biggest names in Bollywood, including Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and other film industry heavyweights, is looking to go public.
SRK’s Trust First to File with a Whopping Line-Up
The IPO filed in December of 2024 is in the final approval stage. This will be the first listing of a pure fresh issue only, meaning no offer for sale was with it. The company is looking to use the capital to fund ongoing luxury redevelopment projects in Mumbai’s affluent suburbs.
The company raised ₹400 crore in a pre-IPO private placement for a price per share of ₹150. The Shah Rukh Khan Family Trust invested ₹10.1 crore in 6.75 lakh shares; Amitabh Bachchan also purchased ₹10 crore worth of equity. The financial marvel from Bollywood does not stop here.
Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Ektaa Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Tiger Shroff and Rajkummar Rao were all added to the group of investors. Veteran investor Ashish Kacholia made the single largest commitment – ₹50 crore for 33+ lakh shares.
Sri Lotus: The Real Estate Player with Star Appeal
Led by Anand Kamalnayan Pandit, Sri Lotus Developers has created a premium niche in Mumbai’s redevelopment space. The firm focuses on ultra-luxury 2BHK and 3BHK homes in the range of ₹3 to ₹7 crore and on luxury penthouses above ₹7 crore.
Payout from the IPO will be applied to:
- ₹550 crore to its subsidiaries like Richfeel, Dhyan Projects and Tryksha
- Developments of premium projects it continues to be involved in, such as Amalfi, The Arcadian and Varun
- Remaining proceeds will be for general corporate purposes
Financials That Are Staggering: Revenue Up 177%, PAT Up 6x
Sri Lotus is more than just star value – it’s achieving on the balance sheet too. From FY23 to FY24, the company halved its revenue from ₹166.87 crore, being boosted to ₹461.57 crore, an immense 177% jump. Profits after tax increased sixfold to ₹119.81 crore.
And that momentum is continuing. For the first six months of FY25, revenues exceeded ₹243.42 crore, going with ₹90.63 crore in PAT.
The IPO is expected to be a high-profile listing with Monarch Networth and Motilal Oswal as lead book-runners and KFin Technologies as registrar.
