New Delhi: Social Worth Technologies Ltd, the parent company of the digital lending platform Fibe, has filed draft papers with capital markets regulator Sebi to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO).

The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth up to Rs 750 crore and an Offer-for-Sale (OFS) of over 4 crore equity shares by existing shareholders, according to the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) filed on Monday.

According to the draft papers, the proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to invest in its material subsidiary, ESPL, for augmenting its capital base to support onward lending requirements, besides meeting general corporate purposes.

The Pune-based company expanded its product portfolio from personal loans to purpose-driven financing since 2021, helping diversify its lending business.

Its assets under management (AUM) grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.49 per cent to Rs 8,603 crore as of March 31, 2026, from Rs 4,064 crore as of March 31, 2024.

Profit rose to Rs 257.46 crore in FY26 from Rs 101.24 crore in FY24.

As of March 31, 2026, personal loans accounted for 77.38 per cent of the company's total AUM, while purpose-driven financing contributed 22.62 per cent.
