Mumbai, May 5, 2026 —
OnEMI Technology Solutions Ltd, the company behind digital lending platform Kissht, has closed its IPO with a robust ~9.96x subscription, witnessing oversubscription across all investor categories — a clear signal of widespread investor confidence.
The ₹925.92 crore issue received bids for ~37.76 crore shares against ~3.79 crore shares on offer, reflecting strong and balanced demand from institutions, HNIs, and retail investors alike.
Broad-based participation across segments
- QIB (Institutional investors): 25.97x
- NII (HNI investors): 6.90x
- bNII: 8.59x
- sNII: 3.53x
- Retail investors: 2.13x
This across-the-board oversubscription highlights depth of demand, not just concentration, with each segment meaningfully participating in the issue.
Institutional conviction stands out
The ~26x subscription in the QIB category signals strong endorsement from marquee investors, reinforcing confidence seen during the anchor round and positioning Kissht among the most institutionally backed fintech IPOs in recent times.
Scale that drives confidence
Investor interest has been underpinned by Kissht’s strong operating metrics:
- 63 million+ (6.3 crore) registered users
- Significant Assets Under Management (AUM) reflecting deep credit penetration
- Strong presence in India’s fast-growing digital lending and BNPL ecosystem
The company’s ability to combine scale, technology-led underwriting, and disciplined growth has been central to this strong response.
Momentum into a strong close
The IPO saw steady traction through the subscription period before accelerating into a decisive Day 3 close, transforming into a high-conviction offering backed by all investor classes.
What this means
- High institutional validation with strong QIB participation
- Balanced demand across segments, reducing concentration risk
- Retail participation above 2x, reflecting strong brand recall
The bigger picture
At a time when fintech IPOs are being evaluated with greater scrutiny, Kissht’s near 10x subscription underscores a shift — investors are backing scaled, proven digital lending platforms with real distribution and risk capabilities.
A milestone moment
This IPO marks a defining step in Kissht’s journey — from enabling access to credit for millions to becoming a publicly trusted fintech platform backed by investors across the spectrum.
