IPO market cooling down

Mumbai, May 14: Coming up with the Initial Public Offerings (IPO) involves lot of uncertainties as Investors are becoming more and more selective these days. Companies need to have a decent track record, and good business model to lure Investors confidence. Investing in IPO is no more a successful strategy that an investor can follow as done in the 1990s.
