  • The company shares get listed at stock exchanges.
  • Stock market investors can start trading shares of the company on a day-to-day basis.
  • The company gets funds for future projects or to pay the debt.
  • Promoters who sell their own shares; get money.

In India, retail investors have a reserved portion in an IPO. A fixed 35% IPO Shares are reserved for retail investors. This reservation increases the chance of allotment of IPO shares. Some retail investors use this to buy IPO shares for listing gains only, instead of holding the shares for the long-term.
