- Capillary Technologies to file for Rs. 2,250 crore IPO in June 2025, marking a major milestone for India’s SaaS sector.

- Backed by $240 million in funding, Capillary’s enterprise loyalty platform serves clients like Tata Group, Domino’s, and Shell across 30+ countries.
The Bengaluru-based provider of AI-enabled customer engagement and loyalty solutions is expected to file a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sometime in June 2025, targeting a listing by the end of H1 FY25.
