From IIT Bombay Lab to ₹6,000 Cr IPO: The SEDEMAC Story & More | Decoding Exits | March Edition

In this month's Decoding Exits, Vikram Gawande from our Growth Investments Team breaks down 2 VC-backed IPOs and a major block deal from March — generating ~₹3,700 crores in total liquidity despite volatile markets.

Here are the highlights:
⚡ SEDEMAC Mechatronics — India's first sensorless ISG ECU maker, incubated at IIT Bombay's SINE. ₹1,087 Cr all-OFS IPO at ~₹6,000 Cr market cap. A91, Xponentia, 360 One, NRJN Family Trust (Nandan Nilekani) among sellers. ~48x EBITDA, ~9x P/S.

🌱 CleanMax — India's largest C&I renewable energy company. ₹3,084 Cr IPO (₹1,200 Cr fresh + ₹1,900 Cr OFS) at ~₹12,000 Cr market cap. Brookfield (DIFC), Augment India Holdings, Danish SDG Investment Fund among sellers. ~12x EV/EBITDA, ~8x P/S.

🏠 Urban Company — Post-IPO block deal of ₹734 Cr. ABG Capital, DF International Partners, and Wellington Hadley Harbor exited as pre-IPO lock-in expired.

Despite tariff wars and market uncertainty, IPO-led liquidity continues — a sign that India's public markets remain a viable path for founders building long-lasting companies.
