What to watch
- QIB subscription turning meaningfully positive in the final day of bidding.
- Overall subscription crossing full coverage before close.
- Retail subscription rising while HNI/QIB demand remains subdued.
- Changes in grey-market premium or broker listing-gain estimates.
- Broad equity-market risk-off movement affecting high-growth IPO appetite.
- Any revised disclosures on losses, customer concentration, pricing pressure, or competitive dynamics.
- Track daily subscription by QIB, NII/HNI, and retail categories rather than headline aggregate demand.
- Monitor whether anchor investors and institutional bids provide validation of the valuation and growth narrative.
- Watch grey-market and peer-share-price signals for changes in expected listing sentiment.
- Assess management commentary on profitability path, e-commerce volume growth, and capital expenditure needs.
- Prepare for elevated post-listing volatility if retail demand materially exceeds institutional demand.
