How does an IPO work?

Why trade in Futures and Options?

An IPO offers share market participants like you and me an opportunity to be a shareholder in an erstwhile privately held company that is now going public and being listed on the market. Historically speaking, investors who choose the right IPOs make significant returns on their investments, which increases the attraction of IPOs.

Once you are a shareholder, you are eligible to receive dividends from the company proportional to the shares you own. You can also sell your stocks for profit on the stock exchange.

In exchange for its shares, the company has an opportunity to raise huge capital to be used to further enhance its business and scale up its operations. The company also has other benefits, such as credibility; visibility; better leverage to effect mergers, acquisitions and even to procure loans at lower rates of interest.

In India, the entire IPO process is ably regulated by the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI), right from the IPO filing by the company to the bidding, allotments and refunds (in case you aren't allotted shares due to oversubscription).
