In this issue

Welcome to the July 2024 issue of Small Enterprise Magazine, one of our most anticipated editions. This month, we delve into the transformative journey of SMEs breaking barriers by going public, under the compelling theme, "Breaking Barriers: IPO for SMEs."
This issue is a treasure trove of success stories, shedding light on the remarkable journeys of SMEs that have achieved the ultimate business milestone—going public. Each story narrates the relentless pursuit of growth, the hardships faced, and the substantial business expansion post-IPO. These narratives are not just inspiring but also educational, offering a comprehensive guide on initiating the IPO process and navigating its various facets.
India is on the brink of a golden era, and transforming SMEs into large corporates is pivotal to realising a $10 trillion economy. The momentum since 2023 has been unprecedented. With 179 SMEs listed and 56 IPOs in the first quarter of 2024 alone, the trend is clear. Notably, 116 IPOs in 2023 and 41 in early 2024 have yielded positive returns, signifying a maturing platform.
This growth is fueled by extraordinary liquidity in the equity market. India now proudly hosts 16.2 crore registered Demat accounts, with 4.2 crore active retail investors. Projections suggest this could surge to 15-18 crore active users within the next decade and reach 25-30 crore by 2040. As mutual funds and SIPs gain popularity, India’s stock market liquidity is set to rival that of the US, empowering listed firms and fostering the rise of multibillion-dollar revenue companies across diverse sectors.
Join us as we celebrate the resilience and innovation of SMEs navigating the IPO landscape, driving India towards an economically vibrant future.
