According to analysts, after the record performance of startup IPOs in 2025, the pace of new generation tech companies moving towards public listing looks even stronger in 2026. 20 startups have already filed draft filings with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), while 24 other startups are in various stages of finalizing their IPO plans.
However, the situation is likely to change in 2026, as public market investors will prioritize strong fundamentals, profitability and low cash burn when investing in new generation technology companies.

The list of new generation companies planning to list in 2026 will be just as crowded as last year. These companies can raise around Rs 50,000 crore. Among these, PhonePe will raise Rs 13,500 crore, Zepto Rs 12,000 crore, Oyo Rs 6,650 crore, ShipRocket Rs 2,342 crore and Boat Rs 1,500 crore.

Good performance after listing
Venture investors and bankers warn that maintaining last year’s momentum will depend on market conditions as well as investor interest in loss-making or recently profitable tech businesses. According to analysts, the post-listing performance of the new generation companies in 2025 has been quite good, indicating solid returns for public market investors. In such a situation, this area is considered more mature.
