You must have heard a lot of people saying that we invested

0:05

in an IPO of a company and our money doubled in a few days.

0:09

So does investing in an IPO really double the money in a

0:13

few days? How does it happen? How can you invest in an IPO?

0:17

Or some people also suffer losses by investing in an IPO.

0:21

You are going to understand the whole game of this IPO

0:24

today.

0:24

So if you do not know, there are a lot of new investors who

0:28

are very curious to know about the IPO.

0:31

What is it and how can we invest? You will get the answers

0:34

to all your questions in this video.

0:36

So we will start.

0:37

First of all, what is IPO? IPO means Initial Public

0:41

Offering.

0:42

Now what is the meaning of Initial Public Offering? If it

0:46

is an ABC company and we will talk about the reason why it

0:50

is taking money.

0:51

It wants to expand.

0:53

Now let's assume that this company has factories and there

0:56

are 10 factories that are running very well.

0:59

But now the company wants us to reach up to 100 factories.

1:03

We not only have to supply our goods all over the world in

1:06

India, we have to reach up to 100 factories.

1:08

Now think that it is going to cost crores of rupees in one

1:11

factory.

1:11

So now to open so many factories, to reach up to 100, you

1:14

will need thousands of crores of rupees.

1:16

Now how will you get those thousands of crores of rupees?

1:19

First, let's assume that this company has taken money from

1:22

a private company or a venture capitalist firm.

1:24

But now there is not enough money to reach here.

1:28

So for that expansion, the company will go public.

1:32

Now understand this very carefully. In today's date, no

1:33

private limited company can take money from the public. It

1:34

is illegal.

1:41

It is not allowed. If any company is private limited, it

1:45

cannot take money from the public.

1:48

But here if the company is going public following certain

1:51

guidelines, we say that the company is going public.

1:55

So it is becoming public limited from private limited.

1:58

Only then it can take money from the public.

2:01

Now tell me one thing, why will you or we give money to a

2:05

company? What is the company giving us? Good question.

2:08

The company gives us shares.

2:10

The company will give us shares. It will give its shares.

2:14

In return, we will give it money.

2:17

So this is one way that we are asking for money to expand.

2:21

The company is asking for money to expand.

2:23

Can there be any other reason? The answer is yes.

2:26

The second reason of the company may be that a lot of debt

2:28

has been imposed on the company.

2:30

Now the debt is not coming down.

2:32

Now so much debt has been imposed.

2:33

Its loans are also going.

2:34

Its interest has to be paid.

2:35

The company is under pressure.

2:37

It is not able to do business.

2:38

So it needs money.

2:39

Now if it needs money to avoid pressure, what will it do?

2:42

It will take money from the public.

2:44

But for that too, it will have to make a list.

2:47

Where does it have to make a list? You know about the stock

2:51

exchange.

2:51

What are the stock exchanges we have in India?

2:54

Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange.

2:56

It is called BSE and NSE.

2:58

So now the company can be listed on either one or both.

3:02

Stock exchanges and when it is listed in the exchange it

3:05

can raise money from the public by following these

3:08

guidelines.

3:09

Now the reason for repaying the loan is understood.

3:11

Can there be any other reason? The answer is yes.

3:13

The people who invested in the starting, suppose they want

3:16

to take exit.

3:17

Angel Investor gave 5 crores to this company in the

3:20

starting.

3:20

Venture Capitalist Firm gave it 50 crores.

3:22

But when the company will give public money, it can come in

3:26

thousands of crores.

3:27

So when so much money will come, they will get a lot of

3:30

profit.

3:31

And that is why in the starting, Angel Investors and Venture

3:33

Capitalist Firm invest in the company because they know

3:36

that the day the IPO will come, our investment will be

3:39

multiplied and we will get it.

3:41

Now you people are investing today.

3:43

Can there be multiple profits in the future? Now we will

3:46

understand this from here.

3:47

Which people invest money in the IPO first? Now if an IPO

3:52

launches, then three types of people invest money in it.

3:58

First are Qualified Institutional Buyers.

4:00

Now who is this? Qualified Institutional

4:03

Buyers. Institutional means those who have a lot of money.

4:06

Do you know about Mutual Funds?

4:08

You must know.

4:09

So Mutual Funds companies got a privilege first that they

4:13

can invest in a company's IPO and for this they will also

4:16

do research that how much profit can be made after

4:20

investing in the IPO.

4:21

Apart from this, you take insurance.

4:23

Now the premium of that insurance that you pay goes to the

4:27

company.

4:28

What does the company do with that money?

4:30

Companies have this opportunity that they can invest in

4:35

such IPOs.

4:36

Apart from this, many big corporates can also invest.

4:39

There is a provision for this.

4:41

What is the provision?

4:43

So much percent will be reserved for these people.

4:46

This first category, Qualified Institutional

4:48

Buyers, have up to 50% reservation for them.

4:51

So the quota system runs here too.

4:54

So the first thing you think is that I will launch an IPO.

4:58

Suppose there are 100 shares of a company.

5:00

So 100 out of 100 will be bought by the public.

5:02

The answer is no.

5:02

If there are 100 shares, then 50 will be reserved for QIB.

5:06

For example, there can be a lot of shares.

5:09

So here Qualified Institutional Buyers will be the first to

5:11

play.

5:12

So first of all, they will be invited to the party.

5:15

After that, who will be called? Non-institutional investors

5:18

are called NII.

5:19

Now who are they? You must have heard about high net worth

5:20

individuals. HNI people, who have a lot of money, can

5:22

invest. So there is a reservation for them too.

5:30

They have a quota of 15%.

5:32

So 15% reservation will be for them.

5:35

Now, after high net worth individuals, common people come,

5:39

whom we call Retail Investors.

5:41

Now what does retail mean?

5:43

Retail means those who will invest less than 2 lakhs.

5:47

Those who invest less than 2 lakhs, we call them Retail

5:51

Investors.

5:51

So how much money do you want to invest? If it is less than

5:54

2 lakhs, then you will be in the category of retail.

5:57

If it is more than 2 lakhs, then you will be in this

5:59

category.

5:59

So now you come under retail, then what is the reservation

6:02

for them, which is left? 35%.

6:04

So if a company is taking out 100% shares, then 35% is

6:09

reserved for you for Retail Investors.

6:12

Now the thing comes here, what can happen after this? Now

6:16

assume that 35% is reserved here, but a lot of people have

6:20

come.

6:21

Let's assume that there were 35 people here and everyone

6:24

was asking for a share.

6:26

Now, let's say 70 people have come here.

6:28

It has doubled.

6:29

More people have come.

6:31

So now it is said that the IPO has been over-subscribed.

6:34

Here it has become 2x.

6:36

Similarly, the same thing can happen here.

6:39

There is a reservation for them here too, but suppose three

6:42

times more people have come here and they said that we want

6:45

more shares and there are a lot of people, so there is a

6:48

lot of demand.

6:48

So if an IPO is over-subscribed 3x, 5x, 10x, 20x, then it

6:54

is said that the IPO is good.

6:57

Because when it will be listed, there is so much demand,

6:59

then what will happen? If there is so much demand, the

7:01

first thing is that the chances of people meeting will be

7:02

less.

7:07

If, let's say, 2x more people have come, then not everyone

7:10

can meet.

7:11

Then in a way, a computerized lottery will run.

7:14

People will be allotted shares on the basis of lottery.

7:18

But can one share be bought in IPO? The answer is no.

7:21

You understand this too.

7:22

I want to explain everything to you.

7:24

Suppose there is an IPO list of a company and that IPO list

7:28

is happening for ₹ 100.

7:30

It is a share of ₹ 100.

7:31

This is the share price.

7:32

It is called issue price.

7:33

So here the issue is happening for ₹ 100.

7:37

Now can you buy a share of ₹ 100?

7:40

The answer is no.

7:41

There you will be told that you have to buy in a lot.

7:45

You will have to buy a lot.

7:46

Now you will ask that how much is the lot? They will tell

7:50

you at that time that there is a lot of 140 shares.

7:53

This means that if you want to buy, then you will have to

7:57

invest ₹ 14000 if you want to participate in the IPO.

8:00

The question arises that why should we invest ₹ 14000? If

8:04

we have invested ₹ 14000 in the IPO, what if our money is

8:07

lost?

8:08

Good question.

8:08

Now here I will tell you something very interesting.

8:12

Most of the people, especially retailers, invest for two

8:15

reasons.

8:16

One is speculation.

8:17

We will talk about it later.

8:20

And the other is investment.

8:21

Now what is speculation? If you have invested in the IPO.

8:25

Let's assume that the IPO of a company is happening on 16th.

8:29

The IPO is happening on 16th.

8:31

Example, and you have invested ₹ 14000 on 16th.

8:35

You will get to know whether you will get the share or not

8:40

in 2-5 days.

8:42

Let's take a time period of 10 days.

8:45

By 26th, that IPO will be listed.

8:48

Now when that share will be listed, the company was asking

8:51

for the issue price of ₹ 100 in the starting.

8:53

But when it will be listed, where? On BSE or NSE, then it

8:57

is possible that it will be listed for ₹ 200.

9:00

So if you bought a lot of ₹ 14000, then in a few days, in

9:03

10 days, in 15 days, how much will it be worth?

9:06

It will be worth ₹ 28000, if it is listed for ₹ 200. And

9:12

this generally happens.

9:15

Good companies that bring IPO, when they issue the price,

9:19

people get a lot more money than that, when they invest in

9:24

it, when it is listed.

9:26

So the speculators book the profit here quickly.

9:30

Assume that there is 3 times the money here or 5 times the

9:33

money.

9:33

It happens.

9:34

If there is 3 times the money here, then they book the

9:36

profit immediately and sell it.

9:38

But what do investors say?

9:40

We bought a share of a good company at a very low price.

9:42

Now we will hold it.

9:44

So now the question arises, is there a profit in holding or

9:47

is there a profit in speculation?

9:49

I will definitely tell you in this video and we will make

9:51

more videos on it in detail.

9:53

Because it is a little difficult to cover everything in one

9:55

video.

9:55

So I will just show you where your profit is more. load

9:59

fast.

10:00

Now we come to the history of IPO.

10:03

So here you can see that there are many companies whose IPO

10:07

has been listed.

10:09

Now you see that there is Jubilant Food here.

10:11

Have you heard the name Jubilant Food? You must have heard

10:14

the name of Domino's.

10:15

So Domino's parent company is Jubilant Food.

10:17

When its IPO came, here we can see that when the IPO came,

10:19

the issue price was Rs 145, but when the IPO was listed,

10:22

when the listing was closed, it was Rs 114. So the

10:24

percentage of loss that people had in the starting, see the

10:27

loss, minus 21.

10:35

But after that, if you look at the current gains in today's

10:39

date, then the issue share of 145 was above Rs 3000 today,

10:43

above Rs 3100 and more than 2000% people benefited from

10:47

investing in a good company.

10:49

So now the question of people is that will the money double

10:52

directly?

10:52

It is not necessary that good companies will double their

10:55

money suddenly because people book profit.

10:57

Speculators book profit and because of profit booking, it

11:00

is not necessary that there is a sudden profit.

11:03

But now, does there is a sudden profit? I will show you the

11:06

listing gains here.

11:07

So now assume that there is a company called Birla Pacific,

11:10

its issue price was Rs 10, but when the listing was closed,

11:14

it became Rs 25.

11:15

So the money has doubled here.

11:17

You can see that a return of 153% has come.

11:20

Similarly, there are many companies like IRCTC, Burger King.

11:22

The issue price of Burger King is Rs 60, but when the list

11:27

was closed, it became Rs 138.40.

11:29

Here people got a return of 130% in a few days. So does

11:32

money double in IPO? The answer is yes.

11:36

There are many such companies.

11:38

You can take IRCTC, the issue price was Rs 320, but when

11:44

the list was closed, it became Rs 728.

11:48

So the money has doubled.

11:50

Here you can see that there is a return of 127%, but if

11:53

people have sold it there, what do speculators do? It has

11:56

doubled, sell it.

11:58

But if you wait a little, then if you see till today, it is

12:01

running for Rs 2200.

12:03

This share price is running for

12:05

Rs 2200, so there is a difference between investors and

12:07

speculators.

12:07

But what do you want to do? Totally up to you.

12:10

You can speculate and immediately take out the money.

12:13

And if you want to be an investor, then you can do that too.

12:18

Because the price you get initially, you get it at the

12:21

price at which its actual value is.

12:23

So when we talk about buying less than the intrinsic value,

12:26

then you can do value investing through IPOs.

12:28

Now it comes to how you can invest in

12:30

IPOs. I will just show you.

12:32

So I turn on the screen recording too.

12:34

Now here I go to Angel

12:36

Broking. Now as soon as I went to Angel Broking, what you

12:40

will do, here you can see, we went to the menu and click on

12:44

Invest Opportunities.

12:45

When you click on Invest Opportunities, you can see here

12:48

that IPOs and FPOs have come.

12:50

If you click on this, then whatever next IPO is going to

12:52

come, as you can see here, Zomato's IPO is coming and it is

12:55

opening on 14th.

12:56

So if it is opening on 14th, then you can apply for it.

12:59

Now you need to have a Demat account if you want to invest

13:03

in, as I said, in IPOs.

13:04

So I will give the link of Angel

13:06

Broking in the description and comment box of this video.

13:09

So you click on the link and open your account and as soon

13:12

as your account opens, you just see, what next IPO is

13:15

coming, you study about it.

13:17

After studying about IPO, if you think that company is

13:20

good, then you can definitely invest in it.

13:22

And finally, I will show you one thing that next, as you

13:26

can see, Zomato's IPO is coming.

13:28

So one more thing you have to see is the gray market

13:32

premium.

13:33

Now what is this gray market? You are understanding gray,

13:35

gray means dark area.

13:36

Dark area means which is not legal.

13:38

So here you have to see that if its premium is running more

13:42

in the gray market.

13:43

Here you can see that the premium in the gray market,

13:47

Zomato's IPO is 26% more.

13:49

What does this mean? That its demand is more from now.

13:52

When it will be listed, then people can have more profit.

13:55

People are ready to give more money to it in the gray

13:58

market.

13:59

Why? Because everyone does not get shares in the IPO. Why

14:02

not? We are going to talk in the next video.

14:05

How can you get it? We are going to talk about it. For now,

14:08

open your Demat account.

14:10

There is a link in the description comment box.

14:11

And if you like this video, to give your love, quickly like

14:14

this video, share it, so that people also get a complete

14:16

understanding about IPO. You can ask some questions in the

14:18

comment box below.

14:24

the bell icon. I will see you in the next video. Till the

14:25
