About IPO

What is an initial public offering (IPO)?

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company makes its shares available to the public for the first time, allowing investors to acquire ownership of the firm. Companies frequently use the move from private to public to obtain funds for expansion, debt repayment, and other economic operations. Investing in an IPO can give prospects for early involvement in a company's growth, but it is not without risk.

 

How does an IPO work?

  • Private companies that have achieved the ‘unicorn status’ in their growth trajectory, generally decide on ‘going public’. 
  • In India, the process of IPO is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI), so the first step is to register with SEBI.
  • After submitting all the required documents and on receiving approval from SEBI, the company is required to determine the share price and the number of shares it plans to issue.
  • Following this, the company must choose between the two types of IPO issues- Fixed price IPO and Book Building IPO. 
  • After IPO valuation, the company’s shares are made public.

Procedure for investing in IPO

  • Acquire the application form, either physically from a broker, a distributor, or from an online portal like 5paisa
  • Fill the form with all the required details including personal, bank, and Demat account details.
  • Provide details about the total investment amount.
  • The shares will be allotted to an individual within 10 days of closing of the offer.
