Mr Khemka and Mr Sundaresh hold 21.5 per cent and the rest of the stake is held by Everstone Capital, a private equity fund. The paid-up capital of ReGen today stands at Rs 140 crore, to which the PE has contributed Rs 50 crore.
Mr Khemka had recently told Business Line that the company intends to come out with its initial public offering next year and plans to raise between Rs 400-500 crore from the market.
