Bottom Line

While there is a substantial investor appetite, there are likely to be some headwinds in the future. Moreover, listing day returns have provided confidence among investors. It has attracted more retail investors than ever before.

While Paytm dominated the fundraising, other private companies too headed to SEBI to file draft papers because of the success of some of these companies on the bourse.

In December, three large companies are expected to go the IPO route. They are Anand Rathi Wealth, Star Health Insurance, and Tega Industries. In addition over 35 companies have filed for IPO recently. On the other hand, 37 other companies have already received SEBI’s go-ahead to float their IPO.

However, the Omicron variant of the virus is likely to cause havoc as investors are awaiting more information regarding the same. Also, MobiKwik has deferred its IPO plans after Paytm’s poor listing.

So, it’s time to set sights on December keeping all this in mind.
