India’s IPO market is witnessing a surge as several high-profile startups are filing to go public, aiming to tap into strong investor sentiment. This wave includes companies across sectors like fintech, e-commerce, EVs, SaaS, and D2C brands, many backed by top venture capital firms. The enthusiasm is fueled by the recent stock market rally, improved retail participation, and successful past IPOs of tech-led firms. However, industry experts have raised concerns that some startups are prioritizing quick exits for early investors rather than building long-term, sustainable businesses. In several cases, profitability remains weak or non-existent, and companies are banking on revenue growth or GMV rather than core cash flow health. There’s a growing trend of secondary share sales, where IPO proceeds go to early investors and founders rather than for company growth. Analysts caution that startups using IPOs as mere liquidity events risk losing long-term investor trust and damaging public market reputation. Regulatory bodies like SEBI have begun scrutinizing IPO documents more rigorously, especially where valuations appear inflated. Past IPO disappointments, where companies lost significant value post-listing, have made institutional investors more selective. Experts emphasize the need for a balance between scaling and sustainable unit economics, as public market expectations differ sharply from private funding environments.
