Most of the Indian unicorns are huge loss-making companies despite increasing revenue.

No doubt it will be oversubscribed by huge numbers, remains to be seen when will they actually be profitable.

This is just the DRHP. It won’t include any details such as price, number of shares or any dates. This all will announce later.

I like Swiggy better than Zomato. :sweat_smile:

From service, innovation - started Grocery delivery and Swiggy Genie service during lockdown where delivery boys can pick/ deliver stuff from point A to B. And even about branding and marketing, Swiggy is way ahead. Softbank had two options to invest in - Zomato and Swiggy. It chose the latter one recently. Info Edge is selling its stocks. Sanjeev Bikhchandani must be thinking something.

The IPO is still a couple of weeks away but grey market activity is so strong that it’s trading at a premium of Rs. 15-17 even though the price band is still unconfirmed. :exploding_head:

haven’t seen hype like this for any IPO… :joy::joy:

The hype is waning. The GMP (Grey Market Premium) is just Rs. 8 now.

Zomato IPO was subscribed only 38 times. Given the hype, thought it would easily beat IRCTC’s 111 times subscription.

Zomata is 20 times bigger IPO than IRCTC with this subscription its around 700X subscribed if you want to do apple to apple comparison which is actually Phenomenal !!!

right… IRCTCs subscription demand would’ve been around 70000 crores given their issue size… Zomato on other hand… it’s well over 2 trillion… which is astonishing…

If i had applied directly through say HDFC Securities. Would i still habe to accept the mandate request on my BHIM app.

You cannot make multiple IPO applications using same name, demat and PAN account. In such cases all your applications will be rejected.

A good and in-depth explanation about Zomato. Whoever has plans of investing in the Zomato IPO can surely read through the post for a clear understanding.

I apply for zomato IPO From zerodha, and my bank account also blocked, but in console I do not see any entry. not in ongoing IPO nor in BID HISTORY, TILL MONDAY there is entry for my bid now there is nothing. HOW CAN I understand, What is status of my application ??

Where do I check IPO allotment and by what time?

The IPO allotment status is supposed to be published by the RTA on the allotment date. Usually, it is released by the end of the day or the next day.

You can check the allotment status on RTA’s website or on the NSE website.

Looks like Zomato users skipped their breakfast today. Instead of ordering one plate Idli, they ordered Zomato stock equity delivery :grimacing:
