IPO Alert: Turtlemint Fintech files RHP with SEBI for fresh issue, OFS

Informist, Thursday, Jun. 18, 2026

MUMBAI – Turtlemint Fintech Solutions Ltd. has filed its red herring prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India ahead of its initial public offering. The public issue comprises an offer-for-sale component of 14.60 million shares and a fresh issue of shares worth INR 6.61 billion. The company has fixed the price band at INR 144–INR 152 per share.

Promoters Anand Rohidas Prabhudesai and Dhirendra Nalin Mahyavanshi will sell 2.74 million shares and 1.19 million shares of the company, respectively, in the offer for sale. They will join a consortium of other sellers such as Nexus Ventures VI Holdings, Peak XV Partners Investments V, and Jungle Ventures III Investment Holding Pte. Ltd. The face value of each share is INR 1.

The company plans to use the net proceeds from the fresh issue for a wide range of activities. It will use the amount raised to fund the expenditure towards its cloud and server-related infrastructure. The amount gathered will also fund the salaries of the company's technology and product development teams. It will also use the funds for marketing initiatives and lease payments. A part of the funds raised will be used to invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Turtlemint Insurance Broking Services Pvt. Ltd., to fund its working capital requirements. Some funds will also be deployed to fuel the company's inorganic growth.

Turtlemint Fintech is a financial technology company that connects customers, insurance advisers, and insurers. "Insurance products are inherently complex and hence customers often seek guidance throughout their insurance journey, not just at the time of purchase, but also during post-sale servicing and claims," the company said in its red herring prospectus. "Recognising this, we have focused on building a comprehensive tech-driven, mobile-first platform supported with our physical branch network for our digital partners, enabling them to deliver effective advisory services to customers."

The company said it intends to continue making investments in artificial intelligence technologies, including agentic architectures. These investments are intended to enhance digital partner productivity, streamline operational processes, and expand the scalability of customer support. Its tools, equipped with AI services, are designed to facilitate more personalised advice, accelerate issue resolution, and improve service delivery, it said.

As on Sept. 30, over 80% of its digital partners were based in B30+ markets and 74.79% of the platform premium came from B30+ markets. B30+ refers to the rest of India except the top 30 cities by population. Turtlemint Fintech adopted a point-of-sale person distribution model and also had the largest such certified network among its peers as of Sept. 30, it said, citing a report by consultancy firm Redseer.

For the nine months ended December, on a consolidated basis, the company had reported a net loss of INR 1.87 billion on revenues of INR 7.41 billion. It had reported a loss of INR 1.94 billion for the financial year 2024-25 (Apr-Mar) and a loss of INR 1.93 billion for FY24.

On the risks of investing in the public offer, the company said it earned minimal income from marketing fees in the past couple of financial years, which led to an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Further, it reported a significant fall of over 80% in revenue from operations to INR 786.42 million in FY24 from INR 4.20 billion in FY23, primarily because of the decrease in income from marketing fees. In FY24, marketing fees had constituted almost 54% of the company's revenue.

Shares of the company will be listed on the National Stock Exchange and BSE. ICICI Securities Ltd., Jefferies India Pvt. Ltd., JM Financial Ltd., and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Ltd. are the book-running lead managers for the issue. Kfin Technologies Ltd. is the registrar for the offer.  (Eshitva Prakash)  End
