Earlier, the firm had raised Rs 184 crore ($27.5 million) from a group of anchor investors, including Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC.

The public issue entirely comprises an offer for sale where its promoters would get around Rs 100 crore and the rest would go to the two PE investors—PineBridge (formerly AIG Capital) and JPMorgan Partners.

Interestingly, JPMorgan Partners has raised the quantum of shares it proposes to sell in the IPO. Initially it was looking to sell 8.1 million shares but later offered to offload 12.2 million shares.
