Currently, I am using the Groww Demat Account application to apply for IPOs. The application process is very easy and I have not faced any issues so far.
Groww is a popular Demat account application for retail customers, with over 50 million installs. If you are a Groww user and want to apply for an IPO but are unsure of the process, here we will tell you the complete process.
The full form of IPO is Initial Public Offering. When a private company decides to make its shares available to the public for the first time, it launches an IPO. This allows the company to raise funds by selling its shares to investors, who then become shareholders of the company. If you are allotted an IPO, you become a shareholder of that company.
