Fundraising Through IPO

About the Training

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are a widely used method for companies in their growth phase to raise capital from the public markets. They not only support business expansion but also offer existing investors a partial or complete exit in a structured and rewarding manner. Since the beginning of calendar year 2015, India’s IPO market has demonstrated strong momentum, with nearly 100 companies raising approximately INR 1,30,000 crore (USD 19 billion) through a mix of primary issuances and offers for sale by existing shareholders. This continued success is fueled by positive market sentiment and a well-established regulatory environment.

VCCircle’s upcoming workshop, “Fund Raising Through IPOs,” is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the IPO landscape — including the entire process, key requirements, regulatory compliances, IPO audits, and practical dos and don’ts to navigate the journey successfully.
