  • Fractal Analytics plans Rs 4,900 crore IPO after Union Budget in February 2026
  • IPO includes Rs 1,279.3 crore fresh offer and Rs 3,620.7 crore secondary sale
  • Funds to repay US debt, support R&D, sales, new office, and acquisitions

TPG Capital-backed data analytics and enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company Fractal Analytics plans to launch its initial public offering in February following the Union Budget, two people familiar with the development told Moneycontrol.

This will be the second big tech IPO of 2026, following Amagi Media Labs Rs 1,788-crore share sale, which opened for subscription on January 13.

Fractal plans to raise up to Rs 4,900 crore through the IPO, which consists of a fresh offer of Rs 1,279.3 crore and a secondary sale of shares worth Rs 3,620.7 crore by its shareholders, including TPG Capital, as per the draft red herring prospectus of the company.

“Fractal is geared up for launch. They were initially planning to launch the deal this month itself, but they are now looking at a post-budget launch timeline. They would like to avoid launching such a big share sale in the market volatility that is usually seen around a major event such as the budget,” said one of the people cited above.

An email query sent to Fractal Analytics did not elicit a response till the time of publication.

Technology deals drove a record year for the Indian IPO market in 2025, with mega share sales from companies, including Groww, Pine Labs, Meesho, Physicswallah, Lenskart and Urban Company. The trend is likely to continue into 2026, with a strong pipeline of technology deals, including the likes of PhonePe.
