Wakefit IPO Day 2: Subscription Update
Wakefit Innovations Ltd made its IPO public on December 9, and the first-day subscription reveals a tale of sorts. The total subscription was a mere 15%, which means that the market is curious but not very eager to participate. However, retail investors were clearly awake and ready to join in, thus showing some early excitement for the home and furnishings firm located in Bangalore.
The IPO has a lot of 76 shares, and you can buy more in multiples of 76, that is ideal for those who prefer to trade in batches. The allocation is greatly in favor of institutions: Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) will get 75%, Non-Institutional Investors (NII) will get 15%, and the retail will get 10%.
With Day 2 of the subscription process, the focus is on trends; will the market get warm or remain tepid? Investors, don’t miss out on this IPO drama, it has just started!

Wakefit IPO Subscription Status And Fund Plans
Wakefit Innovations Ltd started its IPO with a small 15% subscription on Day 1, but retail investors were obviously awake and they oversubscribed their part 1.05 times.

At 10:45 IST, there were bids for 79,65,940 shares against 3,63,53,276 on offer, which is evidence that curiosity is happening, though the expressions are cautious.
