The IPO aimed to raise approximately Rs 371.18 crore through a fresh issue of shares. For good measure, 46,754,405 equity shares were also offered for sale. The issue was open for bidding from December 8, 2025, and closes on December 10, 2025, with a price range of Rs 185 to Rs 195 per share.

Investors responded enthusiastically, placing bids for 9,16,72,644 shares – far more than the 3,63,53,276 shares initially offered. This translates to a subscription rate of 2.52 times, a strong sign of confidence in Wakefit’s growth potential. At the upper price of Rs 195, the total value of the offering reaches Rs 1288.88 crore.

Wakefit plans to use the funds raised strategically. Approximately Rs 30.8 crore will be invested in establishing 117 new stores operating under the “COCO-regular” model. Another Rs 161.4 crore will cover rent and operational costs for existing stores, while Rs 15.4 crore will be used for purchasing new equipment. A significant portion, Rs 108.4 crore, will be dedicated to marketing and advertising efforts.

Wakefit Innovations operates primarily through its own website and a growing network of company-owned stores. They also leverage external channels, including prominent e-commerce platforms like Pepperfry, quick commerce platforms, and multi-branded outlets. As of September 30, 2025, the company had 125 of these “COCO-regular” stores spread across 62 cities in 19 states and 2 union territories, having expanded from just 23 stores as of March 31, 2023. The company introduced 3,070 new products in Fiscal 2025 and 2,333 in Fiscal 2024.

A notable aspect of Wakefit’s business is its strong reliance on the mattress category, which accounts for around 60% of its revenue. Before the IPO, the company secured Rs 580 crore from 33 anchor investors by allocating 2.97 crore shares at Rs 195 each. Recent financial performance shows a solid foundation; the firm recorded a consolidated net profit of Rs 35.57 crore and sales of Rs 724 crore for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Ultimately, this IPO represents a significant milestone for Wakefit Innovations and a valuable opportunity for investors.
