Imagine a stock market buzzing with fresh opportunities as India’s brightest startups step into the spotlight. In 2025, the Indian startup ecosystem, the world’s third-largest with over 127,000 ventures and 118 unicorns, is set to ignite with a record-breaking wave of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). From electric vehicle pioneer Ather Energy to quick-commerce star Zepto, these IPOs promise wealth creation, job growth, and a chance to invest in India’s future. Why is 2025 the year of Indian startup IPOs? With soaring market confidence, diverse sectors, and regulatory tailwinds, it’s a golden moment for investors. Dive into this StartupByDoc guide to explore the most anticipated IPOs of 2025, presented in a clear table for your convenience.
India’s IPO market is red-hot, with 2024 seeing 13 startups like Swiggy and Ola Electric raise ₹29,000 crore ($3.4B). In 2025, at least 25 new-age companies are expected to go public, nearly doubling last year’s count, potentially surpassing $20B in total offerings. India’s 36% share of global IPO listings in Q3 2024, outpacing the U.S., signals robust momentum. Domestic investors are fueling this frenzy, pouring ₹1 lakh crore into markets in October 2024, while retail enthusiasm grows. From fintech to edtech, the diversity of sectors ensures broad appeal, and SEBI’s streamlined regulations, like eased compliance for startups, are paving the way. Despite challenges like market volatility and infrastructure woes voiced on X, 2025 is poised to be a landmark year.
Below is a table of the most anticipated Indian startup IPOs in 2025, compiled from recent data. Note that dates, sizes, and valuations are tentative, as many companies are still finalizing plans. Check SEBI filings or platforms like Moneycontrol, Groww, or NSE for updates.
