Indonesian marketplace Bukalapak is looking to raise between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion in its initial public offering on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), the company said in a disclosure advertised in the local press on Friday.

The share sale would be the biggest in the history of the IDX and also mark the first public listing of an Indonesian unicorn. Domestic peer GoTo, formed after the merger of Gojek and Tokopedia in May, had said it would pursue a dual-listing by the end of this year in the US and Indonesia.
