BoAt’s Imagine Marketing Filed ₹2,000 Crore IPO via Confidential Route | Check All Details Here

Imagine Marketing Private Limited made a major move in the Indian consumer tech space by filing for a ₹2,000 crore IPO with SEBI’s confidential filing route. Imagine is owned by a reputed tech brand, BoAt. The company’s strategic move signals its renewed ambition to enter the public market. Here is everything you should know about the BoAt IPO, including its background, financial performance, and expert outlook. 

BoAt’s IPO Filing: Key Highlights

IPO Size: $2,000 crore

Date: Yet to be announced

Previous IPO Filed: Withdrawn due to 2022’s market volatility

Filing Type: DRHP filed with SEBI via confidential route

Stock Exchange: Likely to list on BSE and NSE

What is BoAt’s Confidential IPO Filing?

Imagine Marketing, owned by BoAt, has decided the pre-filing route under SEBI’s new framework to file IPO documents privately. It will allow the company to finalise structure, issue suze, and details without immediate public scrutiny. Confidential IPO filing has become increasingly popular among startups and private companies. Investors can expect a final IPO document with the price band, minimum lot size, and lead managers post SEBI’s observations. 

Competitive Performance of BoAt

Amidst market volatility in the larger electronics industry, boAt has continued its traction. According to IDC and Counterpoint data:

  • BoAt remains among India’s top five wearables brands.
  • The Indian wearable market declined by 8.7% YoY in Q4 FY24, but BoAt retained a large market share.

BoAt not only controls the audio device market but has also taken a strong grip on the wristwatch and fitness band markets.

Strategies Behind BoAt’s IPO

  • Fueling Growth: Look to grow into new categories like smart rings, lifestyle wearables, and maybe AI-based health technology.
  • Brand Visibility: Becoming public will boost customer trust and brand recall.
  • Manufacturing Scale: Capital will be utilised to scale in-house manufacturing and localise the supply chain.
  • Debt reduction and R&D: Balance sheet strengthening and investing in innovation.
