Acko Technology & Services, a General Atlantic-backed digital insurer, has hired investment banks for a potential initial public offering targeting up to $350 million.

The Indian insurtech startup is moving forward with public market preparations, signaling confidence in its business model and market position. The company has enlisted banking partners to manage the IPO process, though specific timing and final valuation details remain undisclosed. Acko operates as a digital-first insurance provider in India, leveraging technology to streamline policy issuance and claims processing. General Atlantic's backing underscores investor appetite for India's growing digital insurance sector. The potential $350 million raise would provide capital for product expansion, technology development, and increased market penetration. The IPO would mark another significant exit for General Atlantic in the Indian fintech space and add to the wave of Indian insurtech companies pursuing public listings. No formal IPO filing date has been announced.
