In Sebi’s parlance, obtaining observation letter means the regulator’s go- ahead to launch the public issue.
The company had first filed the DRHP with Sebi in August 2022 to raise funds through an initial share sale. However, it was thwarted primarily due to certain compliance requirements pertaining to the employee stock appreciation rights scheme.
Sebi returned Go Digit’s draft IPO papers on January 30, 2023 and asked the company to refile the documents with certain updates.
Following this, the company again filed the preliminary IPO papers with Sebi in April 2023.
Cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife and actor Anushka Sharma are among the investors in the firm.
