What Is an IPO?
Initial Public Offering is the process through which a private company offers shares to the public for the first time, thereby becoming a publicly traded company.
Why do Companies Launch IPO?
IPO allows the company to raise capital from public investors. IPOs in India are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and typically involve several steps including filing a draft offer document to finally listing the shares on a stock exchange like the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) or the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
