According to data referenced in the article, the corporation has over 23,000 employees and runs a network of over 3,700 branches.
The IPO is still being discussed, and important details, including the offering’s size, structure, and timing, could change. While the company is now getting ready for a possible market debut, a lot will rely on how the market develops over the next several months.
