An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is when a private company decides to go public by offering its shares to retail and institutional investors. This process allows the company to raise capital from the public market while providing investment opportunities for individuals.
A company must meet regulations and file a prospectus with SEBI before launching an IPO.
Investors can view the initial public offering list and choose which IPOs to invest in.
After the application process, shares are allotted, and the company gets listed on the stock exchange.

In a Fixed-price IPO, the company sets a predetermined share price before the IPO opens for public investment. Investors must pay the full amount while applying.
A Book Building IPO allows investors to bid within a price range set by the company. The final price is determined based on demand, making it a more flexible investment option.
