ICICI Securities, BNP Paribas, IIFL Securities, Jefferies India and Credit Suisse Securities (India) Private Limited have been appointed as merchant bankers to advise the company on the IPO.
Last month, Mobikwik had raised $20 million from Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), and was valued at $700 million.
The startup claims to conduct 1 million daily transactions across its network, including digital wallets and services like mobile phone recharge and utility bill payments. Over 3 million merchants are registered on its network, which serves over 107 million users.
There has been a flurry of IPOs in the Indian market recently, with many new-age companies like Zomato and Paytm also preparing for public listing. The IPO of food delivery and ordering company Zomato will open on Wednesday.
