India’s current rate of spawning unicorns, or startups with at least a billion dollars in valuation, is almost three per month. But all that action is in private markets; practically nothing of the digital economy trades publicly. Which explains the nervous excitement over this week’s initial public offering by one of the country’s two dominant online food-delivery services. As China cracks down on data-heavy businesses from finance to ride-hailing, Zomato Ltd., backed by Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co., is beefing up its IPO in the Indian market to Rs 93.75 billion ($1.3 billion) because of high demand. At the top of the indicated price range, the app will have a market value of almost $8 billion, or 45% more than Jubilant Foodworks Ltd., which owns the South Asia franchise of Domino’s Pizza Inc. While Jubilant packs roughly a quarter of its revenue into earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, Zomato’s operations regularly bleed cash.
