An IPO is often seen as a promoters’ ultimate dream. With the stock markets on an upswing, more companies are likely to grab the opportunity. The route to an IPO is paved with tough decisions and a lot of hard work, which needs to be continued even after listing
When DLF went public in June last year, offering a Rs 2 share at Rs. 500 – Rs. 550, they raked in a cool 9,187.50 Cr.!, and K.P Singh, the promoter, found a place for himself in the Forbes list of billionaires.
Edelweiss Capital’s 692 Cr. IPO was over-subscribed about 111 times in November! And it is not just large companies that are riding the IPO wave. Even small ones are coming out with proportionally smaller issues. Issues as small as 5 Cr. have successfully been made in the stock markets.

An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is a mechanism by which a privately held company can raise money by selling its shares to the general public and getting then listed in one or more stock exchanges for further trading. The shares may be from the existing capital base of the company or may be the result of increasing the capital base. Going public makes sense for a lot of reasons. Not only does it infuse fresh capital and unlock the value of your company, it also brings a certain status, of being a listed company. With the Sensex on the rise, the markets have witnessed a barrage of IPOs. If you are mulling an IPO of your own, here is a bird’s eye view of the way forward.
