Acevector IPO GMP
GMP stands for Grey Market Premium. It is the extra amount some traders are willing to pay for IPO shares in an informal market before listing, on top of the issue price. This market runs outside the stock exchanges, so the figure is unregulated, unverified, and can move sharply within a single day. A high GMP does not confirm a listing gain, and a low one does not rule it out, because it tracks short-term sentiment rather than the worth of the business. A steadier read on the IPO comes from the company's financials, how it plans to use the money, its valuation, and the risk factors set out in the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP).
About Acevector Limited
Incorporated in September 2007 (originally as Jasper Infotech Private Limited, later Snapdeal, and renamed AceVector Limited in 2023), Acevector Limited operates an asset-light digital commerce ecosystem through its subsidiaries, spanning data, technology, and AI-driven businesses. Its ecosystem has three main parts: Snapdeal, a value-focused lifestyle e-commerce marketplace for affordable products; an e-commerce enablement software-as-a-service (SaaS) business (Unicommerce, along with Uniware, Convertway, and Shipway) that helps other businesses run their e-commerce operations; and Stellaro Brands, an omnichannel portfolio of value-focused consumer brands.
It focuses on value-conscious shoppers in tier-2 and smaller cities. As of 31 March 2026, Snapdeal served customers across 18,972 pin codes and delivered 25.98 million units during FY 2026, with about 82.22% of delivered units going to non-metro cities. Its subsidiary, Unicommerce eSolutions, is itself a separately listed company.
The company's promoters are Kunal Bahl, Rohit Kumar Bansal, and Starfish I Pte. Ltd. (a SoftBank entity). The co-founders, Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal, are not selling any shares in this offer.

What the Money Will Be Used For

| Object of the Issue | Amount |

| Funding the technology infrastructure costs of the marketplace business | ₹50 crore |

What are the Company Financials of Acevector
Restated consolidated figures, in ₹ crore. Figures in brackets are losses or negative values.
| Particulars | FY 2026 | FY 2025 | FY 2024 | 2-Yr CAGR |
| Revenue from Operations | 510.38 | 395.02 | 379.76 | 15.93% |
| Total Income | 537.67 | 406.77 | 384.74 | 18.21% |
| Loss for the Year | (45.51) | (126.31) | (51.30) | n/a |
| Adjusted EBITDA | (15.94) | (39.16) | (26.52) | n/a |
| Net Worth | 260.35 | 188.40 | (122.37) | n/a |
The company is loss-making. Its loss narrowed sharply, from ₹126.31 crore in FY 2025 to ₹45.51 crore in FY 2026. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure the company discloses; it is negative but improving. Net worth was negative in FY 2024 and turned positive in FY 2025. A growth rate (CAGR) is shown only for revenue and total income, because the loss, Adjusted EBITDA, and net worth series change sign and are not suited to a CAGR. 2-Yr CAGR is from FY 2024 to FY 2026.
