- Movement in the IPO grey-market premium.
- Broad equity-market volatility and performance of Indian technology/logistics peers.
- Any management commentary on losses, cash burn, customer concentration, or use of IPO proceeds.
- Track daily category-wise subscription, especially QIB and NII demand rather than early retail uptake alone.
- Monitor grey-market premium and any changes in broker recommendations for evidence of listing-demand momentum.
