Infosys Co-founder and Axilor Ventures Chairman Kris Gopalakrishnan has made a strong case for startups to think of Initial Public Offering (IPO) in order to tackle the fund crunch and provide longevity to their fledgling enterprises.
“Startups are hesitant to do IPO, which is, in fact, not difficult. My biggest issue with the startup ecosystem today is that they are not doing an IPO. Let the Indian public own these companies. They will thus get a share of the wealth being created,” he said while inaugurating the fifth edition of the two-day ‘Seeding Kerala’, organised by the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) in Kochi recently.

A Tribute To The Potent Drivers Of Economy
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of our industrial sector. Apart from facilitating the growth of the economy and generating massive job opportunities, the segment also functions as a crucial indicator of the entrepreneurial spirit of the population and ease of doing business. These enterprises, which could be operationalised with minimum investment and working capital, have often outshined their capital-intensive counterparts, deploying ingenuity and smart business planning. Many of them have even successfully tapped huge export markets. In the third edition of Destination Kerala SME Excellence Awards, we honour a select group of such SME entrepreneurs who serve as beacons guiding us in our journey towards a developed economy
