SPAC IPO: Bhav Acquisition Corp (BHAV)
Ticker: BHAV (Units: BHAVU)
Size: $100 Million
Sponsor: Bhav Capital LLC

Bhav Acquisition Corp priced its $100 million initial public offering on March 18, 2026, and begins trading on the Nasdaq today. This debut marks the entry of a lean, focused vehicle into a stabilized SPAC market, opting for a standard $100 million trust size that suggests a target enterprise value in the $300 million to $500 million range—a “sweet spot” for mid-market private companies seeking efficient public exits.

Strategy: The SPAC is adopting a sector-agnostic mandate but indicates a primary interest in technology-enabled services and disruptive industrial sectors. The management team is expected to leverage a network across North America and India, focusing on businesses with proven unit economics rather than speculative, pre-revenue moonshots.

Leadership Team:
  • Vikas Shah (Chairman & CEO): An experienced investment professional with a background in cross-border M&A and private equity, particularly within the tech and business services verticals.
  • Sanjay Morey (Director): Brings significant private equity pedigree, having previously held senior roles at major investment firms where he oversaw portfolio growth in the healthcare and consumer sectors.

Structure: 10 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-quarter (1/4) of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50. The inclusion of a half-warrant provides the typical “sweetener” for IPO investors while keeping the eventual capital structure relatively tight compared to more dilutive structures seen in previous cycles. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as the sole book-running manager.
