PolicyBazaar IPO Review (May apply)

[Dilip Davda]  Though the company is in operation for over a decade, it has not yet broken the ice to turn green. Based on all parameters, the issue is exorbitantly priced. No doubt recent madness for Unicorn and Tech IPOs following Zomato is still continuing and accepting fancy pricing of loss-making companies. Though the company has bright prospects going forward, its issue pricing discounts all near term positives. Hence, risk seeker/cash surplus investors may consider investment for the long term, others may avoid it. Read detail review...

Adithya .... I compared policy offerings on PB and logged into HDFC Life and brought my policy. Why should people buy through PB. Paisa bazar mails me my latest credit score for free every month. I am sceptical of any big movement. Disclosure: Was not alotted in IPO but purchased at listing price and still holding.

Aniket sir, sorry for asking this question but still learning.
Why Nucleus have better acceptance chance in HNI? Also to know or calculate whether retail or HNI has better chance.
Until now i have never encountered any BB which have better chance in HNI than retail, so this is little surprising for me.

Most people including me was thinking a loss making company wont perform well and its really a jackpot now. I applied from ipo mandate and i was thinking to cancel it before the allotment and unexpectedly got allotment ,now its 38 percent profit already on second day. I was wondering if it was a profit making company at the time of ipo launch, what would happen 😳
