Bengaluru-based Zinka Logistics Solutions Limited, a digital platform for truck operators, has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an IPO.

What Happened: The company’s official statement released on Monday revealed that the IPO will consist of a fresh issuance of ₹550 crore and an offer for sale of up to 2.16 crore equity shares by promoters and shareholders.

There’s also a provision for a subscription by eligible employees, who will be offered a discount if they bid in the employee reservation portion.

Zinka Logistics may consider a pre-IPO placement not exceeding 20% of the fresh issue size, which would reduce the fresh issue size if completed.
