Initial Public Offering (IPO)

• An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the process where a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time, transitioning it into a publicly traded entity listed on a stock exchange. 
• This allows the company to raise equity capital from institutional and retail investors while providing liquidity to existing shareholders like founders or venture capitalists.
