Talking about the IPO market, Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services said, “Volatility of the secondary market has led to a weak IPOs market in 2022 and it is expected to remain subdued going ahead.”

However, Nair added, “the response of investors in the offered IPOs was decent because of the opportunity to invest in new companies at attractive prices. This was also in the context of high liquidity available from HNIs & retail investors looking for listing gains. In majority, IPOs were also attractive for institutional investors to invest in high-quality new businesses bringing diversification to schemes.”
