Two IPO-bound Indian startups secure anchor funding ahead of listing
AceVector, the parent company of Snapdeal, has secured ₹189 crore from anchor investors before its IPO opens. Separately, fintech unicorn Moneyview raised ₹327.5 crore from anchors in the same pre-listing phase. Both companies are now set to proceed with their public offerings.
“Back-to-back anchor rounds for IPO-bound startups suggest investor confidence in India’s mid-tier tech listings, even as larger unicorns delay market debuts.”

The size of these rounds—particularly Moneyview’s—may indicate strong pre-market interest, though actual subscription levels will test broader investor appetite. With multiple tech startups eyeing public listings, these anchor deals could set benchmarks for pricing and valuation expectations in the coming months.
