With the Lok Sabha elections over, the focus is back on markets and initial public offerings (IPOs). Though markets tumbled sharply following the declaration of results, India's growth story is very much intact. Le Travenues Technology Limited, the parent company of travel aggregator Ixigo, will hit D-street soon.

As per the F&S report, the company is the leading OTA for the next billion users, with a focus on localised content and app features aimed at solving the problems of tier II and tier III travellers.

The company’s IPO consists of a fresh issue and an offer for sale. The fresh issue comprises equity shares aggregating up to Rs 120 crores, while the offer for sale consists of up to 66,677,674 equity shares. The company plans to use the proceeds received from its IPO to:
