Furniture and appliance rental platform Rentomojo Ltd has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to proceed with its proposed initial public offering (IPO). The offering comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth up to INR 150 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 2.84 crore equity shares by existing shareholders. According to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), the company plans to utilise the proceeds from the fresh issue towards debt repayment, warehouse lease expenses and general corporate purposes. The regulatory approval marks a key step in the company's plans to access the public markets.
Online furniture and appliance rental platform Rentomojo Ltd has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its proposed initial public offering (IPO), clearing the way for the company to launch its public issue. The regulatory approval was disclosed through an update from SEBI on Monday.
According to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), the proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to INR 150 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 2.84 crore equity shares by existing shareholders. The OFS will enable existing investors to partially divest their holdings as part of the public offering.
The company has stated that the proceeds from the fresh issue will primarily be utilised to repay or prepay certain outstanding borrowings. A portion of the funds will also be used towards warehouse lease rentals, with the remaining amount earmarked for general corporate purposes.
Rentomojo operates a subscription-based platform that offers furniture, home appliances and electronic products on rent to urban consumers. The company serves customers across multiple Indian cities and caters primarily to individuals seeking flexible access to household products without outright ownership.
The proposed IPO forms part of the growing pipeline of new-age companies preparing to access the capital markets. Following SEBI's approval, Rentomojo can proceed with the public issue after completing the remaining regulatory and procedural requirements, including the filing of the final offer documents and announcement of the issue schedule.
The offer structure combines fresh capital raising with an exit opportunity for existing shareholders. Market participants generally view such issues as enabling companies to strengthen their balance sheets while providing liquidity to early investors. The final size of the offer for sale and the issue timeline will be determined closer to the launch of the IPO.
SEBI approval remains valid for a specified period, during which the company may launch its public offering subject to prevailing market conditions and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Rentomojo's proposed listing adds to the increasing number of technology-enabled consumer businesses seeking to raise capital through the public markets.
