Primary Market Essentials: Processes, Regulations, and Valuation Techniques

Primary Market Essentials: Processes, Regulations, and Valuation Techniques is a comprehensive course designed to equip learners with a complete understanding of how companies raise capital through the primary market. Beginning with the fundamentals of primary market instruments, public offerings, SME platforms, and regulatory frameworks, the course builds a strong conceptual foundation. It then provides detailed insights into IPO subscription, allotment rules, pricing mechanisms, and valuation approaches used in the Indian context. Learners will gain hands-on understanding of the IPO process, documentation requirements, and emerging practices such as confidential IPO filings. The course further explores grey market dynamics, unlisted shares, REITs, InvITs, and the rapidly developing Social Stock Exchange ecosystem. Real-world case studies—from Zomato and Nykaa to JSW Infrastructure and IRCTC—help bridge theory and practice. By the end, learners develop the ability to analyze market conditions, evaluate IPOs, and make informed investment or strategic decisions in the primary market landscape.
