Staffing services company TeamLease Services Ltd has filed draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to float its initial public offer (IPO) to raise Rs 150 crore (around $22.6 million) through a fresh issue in addition to an offer for sale by its private equity investors and promoters.
