Thakral Corporation says no final decision on GemLife IPO

There is no certainty that GemLife will proceed with any transaction.

Thakral Corporation, which holds a 31.7% interest in GemLife, said the latter is currently considering its strategic options, which may include a possible initial public offering.

This is in response to a news article published online by The Australian Financial Review on 2 April 2025.

“GemLife intends to conduct a series of introductory meetings with investors. There is no certainty or assurance that GemLife will proceed with any transaction,” Thakral said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
