Ecosystem Moves This Week
Beyond Funding
Audio-video OTT platform Kuku filed its DRHP confidentially for a ₹3,500 crore IPO this week. The filing adds to an already active IPO pipeline including Zepto (SEBI approved), Acko (DRHP H2 2026), and InCred (UDRHP filed). India’s startup public-market window is widening across categories.
SoftBank sold Lenskart shares worth ₹2,873 crore in a secondary block deal, trimming its stake in the eyewear unicorn. The move signals SoftBank’s continued India portfolio monetisation strategy alongside recent exits from Delhivery and other holdings.
Acko appointed four new vertical heads — for auto, health, Acko Drive, and assisted experience — ahead of its planned H1 2027 listing at $2–2.5 billion. FY26 revenue stood at ₹2,836.8 crore, up 34.7% YoY. DRHP filing expected H2 2026.
FirstClub’s $55M Series B closed at a $255M valuation — up from $120M in September 2025 — on the back of 200+ banned ingredients and a quality-first positioning. Peak XV and Sofina’s co-lead signals that the anti-speed quick-commerce thesis now has serious institutional conviction.
