The Indian primary market welcomes another significant player as Excelsoft Technologies opens its initial public offering for subscription today. Following the recent market debut of PhysicsWallah, this move highlights the continued investor interest in the education technology sector.
Excelsoft Technologies IPO: Key Issue Details
The company is looking to raise Rs 500 crore through its public issue, which will remain open for subscriptions from November 19 to November 21, 2025. Founded by Dhananjaya Sudhanva in 2000, Excelsoft Technologies positions itself as a vertical SaaS provider focusing on the learning and assessment segment.
The price band has been fixed at Rs 114 to Rs 120 per share. The IPO structure includes a fresh issue of 1.50 crore shares amounting to Rs 180 crore, combined with an offer for sale (OFS) of 2.67 crore shares worth Rs 320 crore.
GMP Trend and Market Sentiment
The grey market premium (GMP) for Excelsoft Technologies shares has shown volatility in recent sessions. Currently standing at Rs 135, representing a 12.5% premium over the upper price band, the GMP has softened significantly from approximately 25% recorded just four days earlier, according to data from InvestorGain.
Potential investors should note that while GMP provides market sentiment indicators, it operates outside regulated channels and may not reliably predict the final listing price.
