The company positions itself as a technology-led B2B procurement platform catering to institutional buyers of bulk construction materials — including steel, cement, and aggregates — such as real estate developers, contractors, and infrastructure firms.
It combines warehousing, logistics, quality control, and just-in-time delivery with a streamlined digital interface that allows clients to place orders, track shipments, manage documentation, and receive technical support.
Use of IPO proceeds
According to the company’s draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), the net proceeds from the public offering will be primarily directed toward meeting ArisInfra’s working capital needs as it scales operations across regions.
A significant portion will be invested in technology development to enhance its digital procurement platform and improve customer experience. The funds will also support the company’s expansion plans as it seeks to deepen its geographical reach and broaden its client base across India.
Additionally, ArisInfra intends to use the capital to strengthen its supply chain and logistics infrastructure, enabling faster deliveries and better integration across procurement nodes. A portion of the IPO proceeds is also earmarked for repayment or prepayment of certain borrowings, along with general corporate purposes to support overall business growth.
