Key facts

What to watch
- Overall subscription crossing 1x before the final day.
- QIB book building sharply in the final hours.
- Retail subscription moving above 1x, indicating broad individual-investor participation.
- A sustained rise or decline in the grey-market premium.
- Changes in market risk appetite for new-age, cash-burning technology-enabled businesses.
- Any revision in issue-price expectations, analyst valuation commentary or peer-stock weakness.
- Track category-wise subscription daily, especially QIB participation on the final day.
- Monitor grey-market premium and anchor-investor quality for listing-demand signals.
- Compare implied valuation with listed logistics, e-commerce-enablement and last-mile delivery peers.
- Watch management commentary on profitability path, shipment growth, client concentration and use of IPO proceeds.
- Prepare for elevated post-listing volatility if retail demand materially exceeds institutional participation.
