Blackstone-backed AGS Health, a major US-headquartered healthcare technology and billing services provider, has filed updated draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) papers with SEBI for a massive $500 million (approx ₹4,200 crore) IPO in India on Friday. The company, which specializes in revenue cycle management for US hospitals, leverages India's massive, highly-skilled talent pool to execute its operations. By choosing to list on the Indian exchanges rather than Wall Street, Blackstone is looking to capitalize on the unprecedented valuation premium that Indian capital markets are currently offering to high-growth tech and outsourcing companies. The IPO will consist of a fresh issue of shares to fund tech expansion and an offer for sale by the private equity giant, which acquired a majority stake in AGS Health in 2019.
💭 If you're wondering…
Indian stock markets are currently offering significantly higher valuation multiples (P/E ratios) for tech-enabled services compared to Wall Street, making it far more profitable for the company's private equity backers to list in India.
