- Changes in grey-market premium or anchor-investor sentiment.
- Broad Indian equity-market volatility and performance of recently listed technology companies.
- Monitor category-wise subscription through each day of the issue, especially QIB and non-institutional investor demand.
- Assess whether broker commentary shifts from retail-demand headlines to concerns over valuation, profitability, and post-listing execution.
- Watch grey-market premium and secondary-market sentiment for Indian new-economy stocks as indicators of likely listing appetite.
- Track whether peer logistics and e-commerce-linked names see sympathy interest or valuation pressure.
