Digital life sciences commercialisation company Indegene will launch an initial public offering with a fresh issue worth Rs 950 crore and an offer for sale of 3.63 crore shares.

The offer for sale will see individual shareholders Manish Gupta, Rajesh Bhaskaran Nair, and Anita Nair offload 26.54 lakh shares cumulatively, according to the draft red herring prospectus filed by the company before SEBI.

Investors Vida Trustees—trustee of the Fig Tree Trust—in its capacity as partner of Group Life Spring, BPC Genesis Fund I SPV, BPC Genesis Fund I-A SPV, and CA Dawn Investments will sell 3.36 crore shares through the IPO, the document said.

The net proceeds from the IPO, which will not include the funds raised from the OFS portion, will be used to fund the capex requirements of the company and its material subsidy—Indegene, Inc.

The company will also divert a portion of the net proceeds to repay the debt obligations of subsidiary ILSL Holdings and pay for the acquisition of additional shares in DT Associates by the same subsidiary.
