ESDS Software Solution Limited
Promoters Piyush Prakashchandra Somani · Komal Piyush Somani · P.O. Somani Family Trust
Against an issue price of ₹429. Split- and bonus-adjusted official closes — a past move, never a forecast.
ESDS Software Solution Limited raised ₹720 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.
The filing places it in IT - Services and names three promoters: Piyush Prakashchandra Somani, Komal Piyush Somani and P.O. Somani Family Trust.
The book was open from 28 August 2026 to 1 September 2026.
The issue was priced at ₹429 a share, from a band of ₹408 to ₹429.
The whole offer is a fresh issue of shares — ₹720 crore raised by the company itself.
The issuer reported the offer subscribed 142.0 times the shares on offer. That is its own final figure, filed with the exchange after the book closed — not a reading we took while bidding was open.
20.91 crore shares were bid at cut-off — applications that accept whatever price the issue is finally set at rather than naming one.
19 anchor investors were allotted shares before the book opened, worth ₹216 crore.
The shares listed on 4 September 2026.
The last official close on file is ₹1,740 (11 September 2026), which is 305.7% above the issue price.
It now trades as ESDS, and its filed financials are on its company page.
Shares sold in the issue at ₹429 last closed at ₹1,740.4.

No offer-for-sale leg — every share in this offer is newly issued, so the whole amount raised goes to the company.

This is the issuer’s own final figure, filed with the exchange once bidding had closed — not a reading we took while the book was open. The exchange publishes only a running cumulative figure and no history, so for an issue nobody polled live this filing is the only account of the book that exists. It covers the whole offer and carries no breakdown by category and no timestamp.
A snapshot WE took while the book was still open, not the final figure. It is earlier than the filed number above and can only be lower — never quote the two as one measurement. Taken 2 Sept 2026, 7:00 pm IST.

No part of the offer was set aside for market maker, reserved portion or other.
The portion of the offer set aside for each category before bidding opened, as the issuer filed it. The anchor allocation is filed as its own line rather than inside the institutional one, so these add up to the whole offer. Shares as filed; the percentages are computed against the offer's own share count.
Every bid names a price, or accepts whatever the final price turns out to be. This shows how many shares have been bid for at each price or above it — so the bar at the top of the band counts only the bids willing to pay it.
The columns are near-identical because they are: demand falls only 0.05% between ₹408 and ₹429, so almost every bid was willing to pay the top of the band. The axis starts at zero — the flatness is the finding, not a missing scale.
These accept whatever price the issue is finally set at, so they have no place on the price axis and are not in the chart.
How much of the demand falls away between the bottom and the top of the band.
Cumulative shares bid at or above each price in the band, from the exchange's own demand schedule. Bids placed at cut-off carry no price and are counted separately.
Anchor investors are institutions allotted shares one working day before public bidding opens, at a price fixed then. Their shares are locked in for a set period. At least 3 of them are domestic mutual funds; we could not classify 16 of the names either way.

Computed from the SEBI ICDR 2018 lock-in rules, not disclosed by the issuer or the exchange. The regulation counts from the date of allotment, which no feed we ingest publishes, so these are counted from the listing date and fall at most two to three business days later than the true expiry.
Every offer document must set out the reasoning behind its own price: what the company earned in the years before it came to market, and what multiple of those earnings it is asking for. This is that chapter — the issuer’s argument for its price, not our assessment of it.

Everything we extracted from this issue's offer document is the pricing justification rather than the restated statements — it is shown under how the offer was priced. The restated financial statements themselves have not been extracted for this issue.
We have not extracted this section from the offer document for this issue yet. It is read from the abridged prospectus, and several offer documents are served as .zip archives or as scanned pages with no text layer.
The offer document must name the listed companies the issuer considers comparable, and print their valuation figures beside its own. This is that list — the issuer’s choice of comparison, not ours.
