Dr. Gauravv Mittal, in his podcast with the Financial Freedom Series by Dr. Vivek Bindra, discusses the crucial role of intermediary bodies in ensuring the success of an IPO. He highlights the importance of understanding the function of each intermediary and the need for promoters to actively engage with investors—either directly or through these financial facilitators.
A successful IPO is not just about raising capital; it requires meticulous planning, strategic partnerships, and market positioning. Dr. Gauravv Mittal stresses that investment bankers, registrars, underwriters, legal advisors, and market makers all contribute significantly to the IPO process. Their collective expertise ensures smooth regulatory compliance, optimized pricing strategies, and robust investor outreach.
Additionally, he emphasizes that a well-structured investor engagement strategy is key. Companies should leverage a mix of direct investor communication and intermediary networks to attract institutional and retail investors. The involvement of reputed investment firms adds credibility to the offering, increasing investor confidence and demand.
Dr. Gauravv Mittal also underscores the importance of sustained market performance post-IPO. A strong investor relations (IR) framework, coupled with strategic public relations (PR) efforts, plays a critical role in maintaining long-term shareholder trust and market valuation.
The success of an IPO is not a one-time achievement but a continuous journey of financial discipline, transparency, and growth-driven strategies.
