What is an IPO?

  • An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time. This helps the company raise money by listing its shares on a stock exchange.

What is the purpose of an IPO?

  • Companies go for an IPO for several reasons:

  • Raise funds: To grow, launch new projects, or make acquisitions.

  • Cash out: Existing shareholders can sell shares and earn profits.

  • Boost visibility: Being listed builds trust and credibility.

  • Cut debt: Use IPO money to pay off loans.

  • Attract talent: Offer stock options to hire and keep top talent.

Who can invest in an IPO?

  • Anyone can invest! There are categories, though:

  • Retail investors: Individual investors with a lower investment limit, often up to ₹2 lakh.

  • Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs): Banks, mutual funds, and insurance companies.

  • High net-worth individuals (HNIs): Investors applying for more than ₹2 lakh shares worth.

  • Non-resident Indians (NRIs): Eligible under certain conditions.

What is the process of investing in an online IPO?

  • Investing in an IPO online involves:

  1. Login to your broker account: Use a SEBI-registered broker platform or banking app with an ASBA option.

  2. Select the IPO: Choose the IPO you want to apply for from the available listings.

  3. Enter details: Specify the number of lots and price you wish to bid at (within the price band).

  4. Payment via ASBA: Funds will be blocked in your bank account until the IPO allotment process concludes.

  5. Allotment result: If you are allotted shares, they will be credited to your Demat account. If not, the funds will be unblocked.

  • Note: Review the company's financials and objectives at vro.in and read the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) before making investment decisions.

What happens after the IPO period?

  • After the IPO period:

  • The company's shares get listed and can be traded on the stock exchange.

  • Share prices fluctuate based on market demand and supply.

  • Existing shareholders can sell their shares in the open market.

  • The company must comply with SEBI regulations and publish regular financial disclosures.

What are the risks of investing in an IPO?

  • Investing in IPOs involves several risks:

  • Volatility: Stock prices can fluctuate significantly post-listing.

  • Uncertain returns: No guarantee of profits or dividends.

  • Lack of historical performance: Limited financial history to assess the company's track record.

  • Overvaluation: Companies may be overvalued during an IPO due to market hype.
