~Promoters in conversation to dilute 2% stake at INR 450 Cr valuation~
~With the proposed stake sale, ISRL has raised almost 20 crore in season 1 for an overall 5% stake~
1000 CRORE VALUATION – objective
With an objective to reach the maximum audience and elevating the stature of the sport, the promoters are in conversation with private investors to dilute 2% of the stake for a staggering valuation of INR 450 Crore just after the first race. The changing need to look beyond conventional sports is fuelling the excitement for motorsports. With strategic investment and market confidence, India represents a unique opportunity to redefine Supercross and reach new heights.
1000 CRORE VALUATION – objective
Mr. Veer Patel, Director and Co-Founder of CEAT ISRL , expressed his excitement, “We conceptualized it in 2015, documented in 2017, registered in 2019, and the first race took almost a decade to transition from paper to stadium. However, we received a pre-season valuation of INR 350 crores, which is a true testament to market potential and investor confidence. We are overwhelmed by the market response, witnessing an impressive jump of almost 30% in valuation just after the first race held in Pune. Our longstanding conversations with brands and partners have suddenly expedited. We are in the advanced stage of closing a minority stake sale to fuel our Season 1 plans, staying aligned with our INR 150 crore spending target. We are confident of achieving an INR 1000+ crore valuation post Season 3.”
