Key facts

What to watch
- Overall subscription trajectory after day one and in the final hours of bidding.
- QIB book reaching or exceeding full subscription.
- NII/HNI demand and financing-supported bid activity.
- Changes in grey-market premium or broader equity-market risk sentiment.
- Anchor lock-up dynamics and post-listing selling pressure.
- Updated commentary on e-commerce volumes, fuel costs, delivery yields and profitability.
- Track QIB subscription separately from retail demand; late institutional participation will be the decisive signal.
- Monitor grey-market premium, anchor investor quality and secondary-market conditions for changes in expected listing performance.
- Compare implied valuation with listed logistics, e-commerce enablement and supply-chain technology peers.
- Watch management messaging on path to profitability, shipment growth, client concentration and capital expenditure needs.
- Assess whether IPO proceeds strengthen network expansion and operating leverage or primarily fund existing shareholder exits.
