If you heard all the news about the IPO and why it fundamentally didn't make sense and still decided to put your hard earned money into applying for this IPO (convincing yourself with listing gains or some other Akshat/Ranade bullshit funda), really sorry to say, but you deserve this. The market is a great teacher at the end of the day.

There’s no way MamaEarth is worth 10,000 crores, I mean their products are shit, they don’t even manufacture their own products, they don’t have any patents. It’s essentially just a marketing company who have managed to sell mediocre products under the disguise of “toxin-free”.
I really wished their IPO would fail 🥲

Is Mamaearth another story of VCs making a shit ton of money at the expense of retail investors ?

- Rs 12cr IPO for Resourceful Automobile attracts bids worth Rs 4,800 crore
- Delhi-based dealership has just 2 showrooms and 8 employees
- Retail investors most active, with 500x subscription in their portion
- Merchant banker 'beyond expectation', unable to justify high demand
- Critics point out 'insane' subscription given company's negative cash flow

Small Bike Dealer's IPO Receives Staggering 400x Oversubscription

Wondering who is going to put money in the IPO bid, and what will happen to the share price post the listing?🤔

Mamaearth IPO, Yay or nay???

Which is that one stock you regret buying and later turned out to be multi-bagger?

Yep, this is the exact headline that should have been put out for Meesho's raise. VCs will literally do anything to help a startup IPO and then throw the retail investors under the bus.

In the recent years after Covid I have seen the amount of subscription being 40-50x the actual amount asked in the IPO for Retail section. Is this a sign that there’s a lot of money to invest but nothing to invest in ?
Also is there a way to utilise this money at some better place considering it being stuck in bank for a week or more.

IPOs getting too much Saturated

What do you think about Ixigo IPO? Are you trying your luck here?

Starting a small tradition of our own on Boxing Day: a roast of the Indian startup ecosystem!

Through the year, have seen some of the most Top Kek comments here, and I thought it’d be nice to do this for fun! 

Let’s keep it in good jest, no getting personal 🫣
Looking forward to some really creative burns!

PS: I do realize there’s no real correlation between Boxing Day and actual boxing :)

A very harsh year indeed 
 Almost 261k techies got laid off, and only 261 got laid :/

I had heard Waycool was also talking to raise at unicorn valuation, but they've fired like 300 people on Monday, so that's pretty uncertain. What to make of Zepto, though?
