2024 - saw a surge in India's IPO market with startups like Swiggy, Ola Electric and Blackbuck going public. 13 Startups raised→ ~₹29,000 Cr, as per Avendus. Accel's founding partner Mr. Prashanth Prakash predicts another strong year → 70-100 IPOs (SME + mainboard) expected in 2025. Domestic investor participation has grown to ~15% (prev. 3-5%), and Family Office participation has tripled. 🗓️Ather, Flipkart, Lenskart, Urban Company and others are likely to go public this year. I put together a chart tracking India's mainboard IPOs over the years(mainboard : minimum paid-up capital of ₹10 crores) ⤵️

Swiggy, Ola Electric, and Flipkart sound great on paper, but most of them are still burning cash. Will retail investors see actual profits, or will these IPOs just be exit routes for early VCs? We’ve seen this play out before

Everyone's missing the bigger picture. The rise in domestic investor participation from 3% to 15% is the real story. India's capital markets are finally maturing beyond FII dependence. This is structural, not cyclical.

The quality of IPOs has drastically improved since the Zomato/Paytm era. Companies are going public with actual profits now, not just growth stories. Look at Ola Electric's numbers - that's how you prepare for public markets.

his is pure bubble territory. Most of these startups are still burning cash like crazy. Swiggy's not even profitable yet! Have we learned nothing from Paytm's post-IPO performance? Retail investors are going to get burned again
