Dev Accelerator, a leading workspace solutions provider, launched its initial public offering (IPO) on September 10, 2025. The offering comprises a fresh issue of 23.5 million equity shares priced between ₹56 and ₹61 each, aiming to raise about ₹143.35 crore. The IPO will remain open for subscription until September 12, with shares expected to list on the BSE and NSE on September 17, 2025.
Company and Market Presence
Since its inception in 2017, Dev Accelerator has established itself as a prominent player in India’s managed office space market. It operates across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, including Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Indore, Jaipur, Udaipur, Rajkot, and Vadodara. As of May 31, 2025, the company manages 28 centres with over 14,000 seats spanning 860,522 square feet of space. Its growing client base of over 250 includes large corporates, MNCs, and SMEs, reflecting diversified demand across sectors.
Subscription and Grey Market Performance
On the first day of bidding, the IPO was subscribed approximately 0.94 times overall. Retail investors showed strong interest with a subscription rate of 1.89 times, while qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) and non-institutional investors (NIIs) subscribed at 0.95 and 0.36 times, respectively. In the grey market, shares traded at a premium of ₹9 over the upper price band, indicating positive investor sentiment and an estimated listing price around ₹70.
Analysts’ Recommendations and Valuation
Brokerage firms Anand Rathi and Reliance Securities have both recommended subscribing to the issue for the long term, citing Dev Accelerator’s firm market position and strategic growth plans. Anand Rathi highlights the company’s expansion into HR, IT, and software services through its SaaS platform Saasjoy, as well as its associate Scaleax Advisory’s role in supporting GCCs (Global Capability Centres) with talent sourcing and payroll management. These expansions enhance client retention and open new revenue streams.
Valued at a P/E multiple of 305x FY25 earnings and 3.5x price-to-sales ratio at the upper band, the IPO is considered fully priced but justified by growth prospects. The firm plans to deploy the IPO proceeds toward capital expenditure for fit-outs at new centres, repayment of borrowings, including non-convertible debentures, and general corporate purposes.
