They help these companies with research, development, and manufacturing of medicines. By going public through an IPO, Sai Life Sciences aims to increase its visibility and access to a wider pool of investors.
The DRHP filed with SEBI contains details about the company’s financial performance, business operations, and plans for the IPO. This document will be reviewed by SEBI before the company can proceed with the IPO.
The IPO is expected to include a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 800 crore and an offer for sale by existing shareholders. The offer for sale means that some of the existing shareholders will sell their shares to the public as part of the IPO.
