IPO - Initial Public Offerings 2025

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process in which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, raising capital and transitioning into a publicly traded entity. After getting approval from SEBI the company launches its IPO and allows subscription. Shares of the company are subsequently listed on the stock exchanges following the IPO. The upcoming IPOs will allow investors to buy and sell shares, helping companies raise funds for future growth.

Investing in IPOs, particularly in the upcoming IPOs, can provide significant returns if the company performs well in the stock market. By investing early, you get a chance to participate in the growth of the company as it becomes publicly traded. IPO investments can also offer portfolio diversification and the potential for long-term financial gains. Additionally, IPOs allow you to capitalise on the growth potential of a company.

Before investing in an IPO, consider factors such as the company's financial health, growth prospects, and the industry in which it operates. Review the IPO details, as mentioned in the Red Herring Prospectus, like the company's business model, risks and financials. Pay attention to the price band and valuation to ensure it aligns with your investment strategy. Assess the competition, management, and market conditions, and understand the inherent risks of IPOs, as they could be volatile in the short term.
