The company had initially filed for an IPO in December 2021 but withdrew due to unfavorable market conditions. Ahead of the fresh filing, ESDS has appointed merchant bankers, with DAM Capital as the book-running lead manager.
The IPO proceeds will be used to expand data centers, invest in GPU cloud for artificial intelligence, and meet long-term working capital needs under general corporate purposes.
