As one of the nation's largest providers of on-demand asset pooling solutions for the supply chain sector, the offering details are expected to be announced soon.

Dairy Brands and Smaller IPOs Are Ready Their Launch​

MilkyMist Dairy Foods, a leading value-added dairy brand in India, is expected to launch its IPO in mid-August, aiming to raise approximately Rs 1,550 crore. The market also includes smaller but significant offerings from several specialized companies. Milbio Diagnostics is likely to bring in around Rs 300 crore through its planned IPO.

Meanwhile, Ardee Industries has commenced its offering, scheduled to open on August 5 and close by August 7, targeting a raise of Rs 425 crore. Technocrafts Ventures has also launched its offering with an expected size of Rs 200 crore, opening from August 7 to August 11.
