Challenges of SME IPOs in the Current Market

The rise of SME IPOs in India has led to significant concerns about market manipulation, particularly regarding companies with shaky financial bases. For example, Resourceful Automobiles Limited, which reported fairly minimal sales and profits, sought an extensive amount of capital through its IPO and still attracted overwhelming investor demand.
