Microsoft, Salesforce and ADP circle HR unicorn Darwinbox pre-IPO
KKR-backed HR platform Darwinbox is fielding buyout interest from investors Salesforce and Microsoft, plus payroll rival ADP, even as it weighs an IPO in the next couple of years. Sources peg a potential valuation at $1.8-2 billion, roughly double its last round. Darwinbox denies stake-sale talks and says the listing stays on track.
