Bluestone, a jewellery brand, is in talks to negotiate an investment of around Rs 830 crore from Peak XV Partners, Steadview Capital, and Think Investments.
The pre-IPO round will combine share sales by early investors with new capital, aiming to value the omnichannel retailer at approximately Rs 7,500 crore ($900 million) before the infusion, as per the report.
Venture capital firm Peak XV Partners will reportedly invest around Rs 415 crore in the round. A source speaking to the Economic Times said, “Peak XV is in talks to lead the funding amid a wider inclination for venture funds to tap domestic brands and offline retailers.”
Further, some family offices via special-purpose vehicles might also reportedly participate in the round. The round is expected to be closed in the next few days.
In September 2023, Bluestone raised $65 million from a group of investors at a valuation of $410 million.
