End-to-End Advisory for Companies Preparing to Go Public

Taking a company public involves coordinated work across financial reporting, legal compliance, corporate governance, and regulatory filings, governed primarily by the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical timeline for an IPO in India?
Depending on readiness, an IPO process from initial preparation to listing commonly takes anywhere from six months to over a year, factoring in due diligence, drafting, and regulatory review.
What are the eligibility criteria for a mainboard IPO under SEBI ICDR?
Mainboard eligibility generally considers factors such as net tangible assets, profitability track record, net worth, and in certain cases, alternative routes such as the QIB book-building route for companies without a profitability track record.
What is the difference between a mainboard IPO and an SME IPO?
Mainboard IPOs are listed on the main platforms of NSE and BSE with more extensive eligibility and disclosure requirements, while SME IPOs are listed on dedicated SME platforms with relatively lighter norms suited to smaller companies.
What role does a merchant banker play versus IPO advisory?
The merchant banker is the SEBI-registered lead manager responsible for statutory due diligence and filings, while IPO advisory supports the company in readiness assessment, coordination, and closing compliance gaps ahead of and during the process.
What compliance is required after a company gets listed?
Post-listing, companies must comply with SEBI LODR requirements covering periodic disclosures, board governance, related party transactions, and other continuing obligations.
