Introduction

While there are various different reasons for companies to exist either as a private limited company, or a public listed company, a public listed company offers an unique value proposition to  its ‘employees’ who have put in relentless effort to run & manage the company successfully. Such value proposition is to reward the core management team through wealth creation after successful IPO, which is unlikely to be the case, if the company remains to be a private limited company.

The journey towards IPO is therefore challenging, but rewarding as well, as it is just the starting point for value enhancement.

Understanding of IPOs will encourage and motivate the core team under the leadership of senior management to embark on a journey of excellence and run a sustainable profitable company with a greater transparency and accountability.
