Notes

Brainbees Solutions Limited raised ₹4,800 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.

The filing places it in Commercial Services & Supplies and names one promoter: NA.

The book was open from 6 August 2024 to 8 August 2024.

The issue was priced at ₹465 a share, from a band of ₹440 to ₹465.

Of the offer, ₹1,666 crore is a fresh issue of shares — money that goes to the company — and ₹2,528 crore is an offer for sale, which goes to existing shareholders selling down. Valued at the final issue price.

The issuer reported the offer subscribed 12.0 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.

The shares listed on 13 August 2024.

The last official close on file is ₹170 (21 September 2026), which is 63.3% below the issue price.

It now trades as FIRSTCRY, and its filed financials are on its company page.

How the bidding went

12.00x
subscribed — filed by the issuer

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.

Who the offer was set aside for
as filed by the issuer at listing
  • Anchor investors45.0%
  • Qualified institutional buyers30.0%
  • Non-institutional investors15.0%
  • Retail individual investors10.0%
  • Reserved portion0.1%

No part of the offer was set aside for market maker 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.

Demand at each price

We did not poll this issue while its book was open. The exchange publishes only the current cumulative figure and no history, so a subscription series cannot be reconstructed after an issue closes.

Anchor investors

We have not extracted an anchor allotment list for this issue.

When locked shares come free
computed from ICDR rules

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.

How the price was set
as printed in the prospectus

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.
