Mumbai, June 1, 2024: Amidst general elections, the primary market continues to remain vibrant, with amazing responses to certain IPOs such as Awfis Space Solutions. Confidence can be gauged by these offerings that have been launched amidst general elections, defying the earlier trend. As we speak, Kronox Lab Sciences' IPO will be launched from June 3rd to 5th.

Looking ahead, get ready for a wave of IPOs from both new-age businesses and traditional sectors. We're optimistic about the IPO post-election results. There are several factors why we believe this. First, there's been an increase in domestic capital. Then, there are improved governance practices and a thriving Indian entrepreneurship spirit, as well as supportive government policies, especially when it comes to FDI. All of these things come together to give us confidence in the market.
