India’s unlisted and pre-IPO equity ecosystem has historically operated in a fragmented and opaque environment—characterised by informal networks, discretionary pricing, and limited standardisation. For investors, this often translated into information asymmetry, unclear valuation logic, and a reliance on traditional brokers.
Anubhav is now working to address these structural gaps through “Unlisted Edge”- a platform designed to improve transparency, discipline, and trust in the unlisted securities space.
With over two decades of experience in senior corporate leadership roles, Anubhav observed firsthand how the absence of consistent information frameworks and the prevalence of opaque pricing practices distorted outcomes for investors participating in unlisted share transactions.
The lack of widely accessible data, coupled with informal spreads and embedded commissions, often left participants without a clear understanding of fair value. To fix these constraints within the unlisted space, Anubhav envisioned Unlisted Edge as a disclosure-first, information-driven platform aimed at enabling more informed decision-making in private market equities.
Unlisted Edge is structured around a core principle: pricing clarity without discretionary margins. The platform focuses on market intelligence, data-backed financial reports, and process transparency.
By emphasising verifiable data inputs and expert verified financial insights, Unlisted Edge seeks to reduce dependence on negotiated mark-ups and informal price discovery, allowing market participants to assess opportunities on a more comparable and informed basis.
This approach has received early institutional recognition. Unlisted Edge has been selected for incubation by NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore under its Launchpad-29 programme – an initiative known for nurturing ventures that demonstrate strong ideation, scalability, and a realistic Go To Market strategy. The selection underscores confidence in the platform’s foundational philosophy and its potential to contribute responsibly to India’s growing private capital ecosystem.
At its core, Unlisted Edge is built to support investor understanding rather than facilitate speculative trading. The platform’s design prioritises clarity of disclosures, contextual insights, and long-term value orientation over short-term transactional incentives. By formalising how information around unlisted equities is presented and interpreted, it aims to help investors move away from rumor-driven decision-making toward fundamentals-based evaluation approach – particularly relevant as interest in pre-IPO opportunities increases among informed retail investors, family offices, and long-term allocators.
As India’s private markets continue to evolve alongside regulatory oversight, platforms that emphasise transparency, compliance awareness, and investor education are likely to play an increasingly important role. Anubhav’s transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship reflects a broader shift toward experience-led innovation—where domain expertise is applied to solving long-standing market inefficiencies rather than amplifying them.
With institutional incubation support from NSRCEL and a clearly articulated investor-first philosophy, Unlisted Edge positions itself clearly as a “trust-enabling layer within India’s unlisted equity landscape”
