Are you eager to check out for IPOs in the coming weeks and months? After the scintillating IPO releases in 2023, the stage is set for another upcoming IPO boom in 2024. The first week of March is packed with IPOs of Pune E-stock broking, R.K. Swamy, and the much-awaited Gopal Snacks Limited IPO.
Then there are some bigshot IPOs touted to be released this year after they got the SEBI nod. Institutional and retail investors are keeping a keen eye on the following IPO launches:
- Swiggy

- OYO.
It seems there’s no stopping the IPO juggernaut and even the general elections have failed to rein in investor confidence. Interest in a demat account app has also soared with India’s continuing bull run.

How to apply for these IPOs?
To apply for these IPOs, you should have the following accounts:
- Bank account: A savings account in any registered bank is a prerequisite.
- Demat account: This is the account where your shares are stored in an electronic form. Invest in the right demat account app.
- Trading account: An account from where you can carry out the sale and purchase of stocks, derivatives, and IPOs.
Can retail investors invest in IPOs?
Certainly. If it’s a public offering, retail investors become eligible to invest in the IPO. The participation of Indian retail investors in IPOs is still quite repressed. They often wait for institutional buyers and HNIs to invest to gauge investor sentiment. While it’s a good cautionary move, it also leads to retail buyers missing out on lucrative investment avenues. Read the company prospectus, do your research and don’t wait until the last day to apply for the IPO.
Key Takeaway
The upcoming IPO season in 2024 reflects the positive market sentiment in the Indian capital market. Last year 173 SME and 52 mainboard listings were launched. It made a record not seen for years. The trend is only going to continue this year and most experts think that 2024 may even surpass the previous year’s record. Apart from the mainboard IPOs mentioned above, some big names are waiting to join the league. Giants like Swiggy, Ola Electric, OYO, and Portea Medical have received SEBI approval and could launch their IPOs soon.
