    • You may be right John and this review also says this stock may give some returns on listing. but why to risk when there are better options available?

  1. None of the analysts said to avoid the issue and still such poor response. If it lists at discount which has high probability, it will be double whammy for investors as there will be full allocation

  2. Parag deserves these troubles. Strange that no one mentioned the conflict of interest for Motilal Oswal and IDFC…

    • @BrezzaRunner, good point but both were involved only in marketing of the IPO. At least on the face of it, there was no conflict of interest.

  3. Despite all the outrage, I have a feeling this IPO will make you richer on 19 May when it lists. Don’t read too much into analysis and don’t discount a good and profitable business.
