Key facts
- 4% total subscription of shares on offer
- 23% retail investor portion subscribed

What to watch

- QIB book acceleration on the final bidding day.
- A sustained rise or fall in the grey-market premium.
- Market volatility affecting newly listed technology and internet companies.
- Track category-wise subscription each day, especially final-day QIB participation.

- Watch peer and startup issuers for delayed IPO plans or more conservative pricing if demand remains uneven.
