Awfis Space Solutions, a leading player in India’s co-working space industry, has successfully raised INR 268.61 crore from anchor investors in a significant pre-IPO funding round. This influx of capital underscores strong investor confidence in the company’s growth prospects and market position.

The pre-IPO funding saw participation from a mix of high-profile domestic and international investors. Among the notable contributors, 19 domestic mutual funds collectively invested INR 144 crore. Key participants included Goldman Sachs, EastBridge Capital Master Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Axis Mutual Fund, UTI Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance Company, and SBI General Insurance Company.

This strategic move precedes Awfis’s initial public offering (IPO), which aims to raise up to INR 598.93 crore. The IPO is scheduled to open on Wednesday, and the distribution of shares will cater to different investor categories: 75% of the issue size will be allocated to Qualified Institutional Bidders (QIBs), 15% to non-institutional investors, and the remaining 10% to retail investors.
