According to Reuters, on Monday, Sprinklr, a Software startup, said it was planning to raise $380 million through IPO, a U.S. initial public offering, targeting a valuation of around $5 billion.

The company’s revenue experienced a rise of 19% to $111 million in the three months ended April 2021. However, its net loss widened to $14.8 million from $11.3 million at this time.
The company applied its shares to the New York Stock Exchange list under the symbol – CXM.
In March, it submitted some paperwork to U.S. regulators for the IPO.
J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Wells Fargo Securities, and Barclays are the lead underwriters.
