‘Need more homegrown companies to list,’ said Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath on X

Following the listing of three major initial public offerings (IPOs) on the domestic exchanges today, Zerodha founder Nithin Kamath emphasized the need for more homegrown companies to list in order for India's markets to grow.

Kamath congratulated the three companies and noted that investor response indicates satisfaction. He stated, “For our markets to grow, we need more homegrown companies to list and ensure that IPO investors benefit. Successful IPOs are beneficial because they encourage more companies to pursue public listings and attract more retail and institutional investors.”

Referring to Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) whole-time member Ananth Narayan, Kamath mentioned that India faces a challenge with the supply of new securities, especially at a time when domestic flows are increasing.
