Aurion.AI Limited, the artificial intelligence subsidiary of digital conglomerate Symmetry Group Limited, has formally knocked on the doors of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, filing its listing application as it gears up to raise Rs. 750 million through an initial public offering.

In a regulatory notice to the PSX, Symmetry Group confirmed that Aurion.AI has submitted its listing application through LSE Capital Limited, the designated adviser and arranger for the transaction. The company’s prospectus and accompanying documents have also been uploaded to the SECP’s PRIDE portal, where they await review and approval by both the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and the PSX.

The IPO is being pitched at a floor price of Rs. 5 per share, according to the filing — a modest entry point that signals the company is courting broad-based retail participation alongside institutional interest.

“We look forward to adding another listed company to our portfolio and remain committed to creating long-term value for shareholders,” Symmetry Group said in the notice.

The offering, however, marks a significant downsizing from the group’s original ambitions. Last year, Symmetry had announced plans to take an AI-focused subsidiary public — housing platforms such as Influsense.ai and Vidfy.ai — with a target raise of between Rs. 1.5 billion and Rs. 2 billion. The scaled-back Rs. 750 million figure suggests a more conservative approach, though the company has not publicly detailed the reasons for the recalibration.

Aurion.AI’s listing bid arrives at a moment of growing appetite for artificial intelligence in Pakistan’s technology sector, where firms are increasingly racing to build AI-powered products and turning to the capital markets to bankroll their expansion. If approved, the IPO would add a rare pure-play AI name to the PSX’s largely traditional roster — and test investor appetite for the country’s nascent but fast-hyped AI economy.
