Sebi has put the initial public offering (IPO) of premium flexible workspace operator WeWork India Management Ltd in "abeyance", an update with the markets regulator showed.
The Embassy Group-promoted firm, which filed its draft IPO papers on January 31, planned to offer 4.37 crore shares through an Offer for Sale (OFS) route.
Under the OFS, promoter Embassy Buildcon LLP and investor 1 Ariel Way Tenant Ltd proposed to offload shares, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP).
Without specifying reasons, Sebi stated that the "issuance of observations (has been) kept in abeyance," according to an update on its website.
In its draft papers, the company stated that the object of the offer is to achieve the benefits of listing the equity shares on the stock exchanges.
