Abstract

India's momentous Initial Public Offering (IPO) year has been 2021. This case talks about the star of the show, Paytm IPO. One of the largest fintech IPOs in the Asia-Pacific region failed horribly on the stock market. Even though the company successfully raised the desired amount, investor enthusiasm for Paytm's offer was relatively low compared to other tech firms. The present study discusses the reasons for the debacle of the Paytm IPO, including excessively inflated pricing, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), etc. The case discusses in depth the emergence of fintech and Paytm. The learnings from the case study follow this. It also highlights the modifications that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) brought to tighten the IPO process. The regulator wants new-age IT businesses to tell precisely how they valued their stocks for IPOs, compare it to pre-IPO share sales and upload all pre-IPO investor briefings to enable investors to make educated decisions.
