The list of highest subscribed IPOs in 2023 consistently feature QIBs and HNIs as the tone setters while retail investors mostly follow the lead of these counterparts. This is not difficult to understand as both the former categories are investment-savvy, well-informed and have deep pockets while retail investors usually lack these traits. Nevertheless, retail investors have the distinction of making the biggest contributions in highest subscribed IPOs through their sheer participation.

As one can see, the subscription process is very competitive and offers are often oversubscribed due to high demand compared to the number of shares offered. Investors’ bids may exceed the available shares, leading to an allotment process that may not fulfill the requested quantities. Hence, the oversubscription could lead to disappointment if the allocation is lower than desired. One can still enhance chances of successful allotment but the rules have effectively created a lottery-based allotment scenario for IPOs.
