Utilisation of IPO Proceeds
ESDS Software Solution proposes to utilise ₹576 crore from the net proceeds towards the purchase and installation of cloud-computing and other equipment and infrastructure for its data centres. This represents the principal identified deployment of the IPO proceeds.
The planned investment is intended to support ESDS's cloud and data-centre infrastructure, which underpins services such as cloud computing, GPUaaS, colocation and other IaaS offerings.
The remaining eligible net proceeds are proposed to be utilised towards general corporate purposes, subject to applicable regulations and the limits specified in the offer documents.
