FACTS ARE STUBBORN things, but statistics are pliable,” said Mark Twain, the famous writer. The old adage holds a lot of relevance even today; but sometimes startling statistics could also be undisputable facts. How so? Take for instance the world of initial public offerings (IPOs)—especially those from the small and medium enterprises (SME) arena.
Back in 2012, BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE)—the two national-level bourses—launched dedicated platforms to get SMEs into the listed space. And it has been a resounding success. More than 850 SMEs have listed so far on the exchanges, with many more in the pipeline. And 2023 has set a new record in terms of the total funds mobilised by way of SME IPOs, with nearly ₹3,500 crore being raised by 135 SMEs.
But while that is true, another set of startling statistics—that are also facts—has drawn the attention of many, including capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), stock exchanges and other market participants.
