What is an Initial Public Offer (IPO)?

An IPO is the first sale of shares by a company to the public, leading to the listing of the company's shares on a stock exchange.

Fixed Price Offers have a set price for shares, while Book Built IPOs find the price through a range within which investors can bid.

A bid is an offer made by an investor to buy a specified quantity of securities at a chosen price within the IPO's price band.

An IPO is a company's first share sale to the public, whereas an FPO is an additional sale from an already public company.

Investors are categorized as Qualified Institutional Bidders (QIBs), Retail Investors (up to ₹2 lakh investment), and Non-Institutional Investors (above ₹2 lakh).

Categories include Retail Individual Investors, Non-Institutional Investors, QIBs, Anchor Investors, shareholders of promoter group companies, and company employees.

Syndicate members are banks or brokers who underwrite the IPO and act as intermediaries between the issuing company and the investors.

UPI allows investors to apply for IPOs using their UPI ID as a payment option, integrating multiple banking features for seamless transactions.

The book building process allocates 50% to QIBs, 15% to HNIs (High Networth Individuals), and 35% to retail investors or 75% to QIBs, 15% to HNIs, and 10% to retail investors, depending on the regulations.
