Applying to IPOs – Read this first

Every few weeks, the same ritual unfolds in Indian markets 📈

An IPO opens. Social media lights up. Grey-market premiums start flying. Even investors who usually stay away from stocks feel the urge to participate.

What most don’t realise is this: the peak of excitement is also the point of least clarity.

The January 2026 cover story of IPO Detials — “How to Benefit from the IPO” — cuts through the hype and exposes the reality of IPOs: they are carefully timed sales events designed for sellers, not comfort zones for buyers.

IPOs and SIPs in mutual funds are powerful tools for long-term wealth creation. Investing in IPOs allows investors to participate early in a company’s growth journey, benefiting as the business expands and creates value over time. While IPOs carry risk, selecting quality companies with strong fundamentals can deliver substantial long-term returns.

SIPs in mutual funds, on the other hand, promote disciplined investing by spreading investments over time. They reduce the impact of market volatility through rupee-cost averaging and encourage consistency. Together, IPO investments and SIPs help investors balance growth opportunities and stability, making them an effective strategy for building sustainable long-term wealth.
