What is an Initial Public Offer (IPO)?

An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the process through which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time. This transition from a private to a public entity allows the company to raise capital from public investors, which can be used for expansion, debt reduction, or other corporate needs. An IPO involves a thorough regulatory process and requires compliance with various Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations.

 

SEBI Compliance Requirements

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates the securities market in India and sets guidelines for companies undergoing an IPO. Key compliance requirements include:

• Prospectus Filing: Preparing and filing a detailed prospectus with SEBI that outlines the company’s financial health, business model, and investment risks.
• Due Diligence: Conducting thorough due diligence to ensure all disclosures are accurate and complete.
• Regulatory Approval: Obtaining necessary approvals from SEBI and other regulatory bodies.
