  1. Adi, look up Sebi’s website… i am sure there is lots of info there

  2. Hey Neil,

    Thanks for the reply.

    10 crores in annual revenue and 10 crores minimum net worth and no history required ? Isn’t that a very easy condition to meet ? I mean I am sure many companies would meet that ? or is there a catch somewhere ?

    Kingfisher didn’t have 10 cr revenue and 10 cr net worth ? Why did they go for reverse merger ?

    Alok- Sebi website looks like it has raw acts which are difficult to understand ?

    Cheers,

  3. Aditya ,

    For a successful IPO –  you need to do book building , i.e if the paid up capital of your company is say 2 crores and you issue shares = 20 lac of Rs 10 face value each , then over a considerable oprational period of the company , you have to show a net worth of say at least 10 times , so you shall say in books your shares are valued at Rs 100 PER SHARE, but you are offering it to the public at Rs 70 rupees a share , which Rs 10 face value and Rs 60 premium .

    Basic point , You need to show the investor he is getting more for less….

    A red hearing prospectus has to be drafted , which shall show the future plans of the company , as to what amount of shares are you of loading , what is the purpose , and in what timeline would the company invest the same in what verticals … whether it be expansion , acquiring technology , taking over another sick industry etc etc ….

    Their are third party private companies who analyse the books of account , audit company performance , their report as an advice to SEBI  is mandatory , they actually second whether the performance the company is claiming is actual or fictitious  – like EnY , KPMG , PWC  these company have dedicated IPO departments …

    You also need under – writers in the form of mutual funds , banks etc who under write your issue in case their are no takers in the open market ….

    Moreover already mentioned , A net value of Rs 10 crores is essential in the form of movable and imovable assets plus cash in hand after account for depreciation  on the movable assets if any . 

    ALOK SIR :  SEBI  is good advice , but a private IPO consultant is a better option , we all know how highly co-operative government bodies are ….
