OpenAI files confidential IPO paperwork, opens path for Wall Street debut

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI filed preliminary paperwork that would open the door to it becoming a publicly traded company, making itself the third in a powerhouse trio of artificial intelligence companies racing to Wall Street debuts. The company said Monday it has filed confidential paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. "We expect it to leak so we're just announcing it," the company said in a written statement. "We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it's a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best." OpenAI's move follows its rival Anthropic 's June 1 disclosure that it is also moving toward an initial public offering of shares. Both are now following Elon Musk's space company SpaceX, which has started an IPO roadshow pitching itself as an AI-focused space company. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman first publicly floa

Meesho partners with BSE to drive IPO readiness for MSMEs, digital sellers

E-commerce platform Meesho has partnered with the BSE to launch a new initiative aimed at helping micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and digital businesses transition into publicly-listed companies. The initiative, named 'Project Shikhar', was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and aims to facilitate the listing of high-performing independent e-commerce sellers on the BSE SME platform, addressing their need for growth capital. BSE Managing Director and CEO Sundararaman Ramamurthy said the exchange pioneered the SME platform to give dynamic, job-creating businesses a direct route to capital markets. "Over the years, the BSE SME platform has enabled hundreds of MSMEs to list, raise growth capital and strengthen governance standards. This partnership with Meesho extends that ecosystem to digital-first entrepreneurs, helping e-commerce sellers become public companies," Ramamurthy said. A substantial segment of India's retail commerce operates in the informa

Primary market to pick up as CMR Green, Hexagon Nutrition to launch IPOs

The primary market will see some activity next week, with two companies - CMR Green Technologies and Hexagon Nutrition - slated to launch their initial public offerings (IPOs) collectively valued at nearly Rs 770 crore. As both the issues are entirely offer for sale (OFS), the companies will not receive any proceeds from the public offerings, with the entire amount going to the selling shareholders. The upcoming offerings come at a time when the primary market has witnessed subdued activity amid persistent market volatility and global uncertainties. Although several companies have received regulatory clearances in recent weeks, many have deferred their listing plans due to uncertain market conditions. So far in 2026, around 20 companies, including Fractal Analytics, Shadowfax Technologies and Bharat Coking Coal, have tapped the capital markets through main-board initial public offerings. The IPO of CMR Green Technologies, a non-ferrous metal recycler, will open for public subscript

Jio IPO may slip to second half of FY27 on geopolitical risks: Report

Reliance Industries' planned listing of its digital arm Jio Platforms could be delayed to the second half of fiscal 2027 due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, CreditSights said on Wednesday. In its commentary on FY26 earnings of India's most valuable company, CreditSights said the management in the earnings call shared that "the Jio IPO was imminent." Earlier market rumors reported that the IPO could come as early as May, with Reliance looking to shed 2.5-3 per cent stake from its existing 67 per cent stake in Jio for close to USD 4 billion (Rs 37,500 crore). "We believe the Mideast conflict may delay Jio's IPO towards the second half of the year," CreditSights, part of the Fitch Group, said. "A Jio IPO will raise cash for debt repayment and capex, and improve Jio's competitiveness against rivals Bharti and Vodafone Idea." Reliance reported 2025-26 (FY26) revenue and EBITDA growth of 10 per cent and 8 per cent year-on-year, respectively, with retail and telecom continuin
