“IPO activity will be impacted by volatility in the secondary market, mainly because of recessionary fears and rising interest rates. IPO is a once-in-a-lifetime event for a company, and as seen several times in the past, companies would prefer to let their approval lapse rather than launching IPOs in a volatile market,” said Pranav Haldea, managing director, PRIME Database Group.
