Pernia's Pop-Up Shop's parent company Purple Style Labs is likely to launch its Rs 660 crore initial public offering by the end of August.
The company, which operates a multi-brand luxury fashion omni-channel platform, has filed its updated draft red herring prospectus with markets regulator SEBI. It received SEBI's approval for the IPO in January this year.
The proposed IPO will mark Purple Style Labs' debut in the public markets. The company plans to use the IPO proceeds to invest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, PSL Retail, towards lease liabilities for experience centres and back-end offices in India.
A portion will be deployed towards sales and marketing, while the remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. Axis Capital Ltd and IIFL Capital Services Ltd are the bankers to the issue.
The issue comes at a time when the country's wedding and luxury consumption markets are witnessing strong growth.
The country's wedding industry has crossed Rs 10 lakh crore, while the wedding-wear segment is projected to reach Rs 3.4 lakh crore by FY30. Meanwhile, India's personal luxury market is also expected to touch Rs 2.31 lakh crore.
