- Issue price, implied valuation, lot size, anchor allocation if applicable, and stated use of proceeds.
- Grey-market premium and its direction before allotment, while treating it as a volatile sentiment indicator rather than a fundamental metric.
- Gold-price movements, festival and wedding-season demand indicators, and changes in jewellery import-duty or hallmarking policy.
- Allotment data, listing-day premium/discount, trading liquidity and post-listing shareholding concentration.
- Management disclosures on new-store pipeline, inventory funding, debt levels, same-store sales and gross margins.
- Market the issue around regional brand strength, wedding-led demand, store network economics and use of proceeds.
- Deploy IPO proceeds toward inventory, working capital, debt reduction and/or selective showroom additions, depending on stated offer documents.
- Use public-company reporting to highlight revenue growth, gross-margin discipline, inventory turns and festival-season performance.
- Peers and other SME/mainboard aspirants may reassess issue timing and valuation benchmarks based on subscription and listing performance.
