The report examines the impact of IPOs on corporate finance and growth strategies in India's manufacturing sector. It focuses on recent IPOs, highlighting the gap in literature on the specific financial impacts of IPOs on this sector. The study reveals significant changes in financial performance, particularly in profitability, efficiency, and leverage ratios. IPOs generally improve profitability and operational efficiency, but also increase leverage. This highlights the importance of strategic financial management post-IPO to maximize benefits against potential risks. The findings are useful for manufacturing firms considering initial public offerings and contribute to the current understanding of the financial implications of going public. The report uses descriptive statistics and T-tests to analyze financial data, identifying significant differences in profitability, efficiency, and leverage ratios. The analysis provides actionable insights into how manufacturing firms can strategically manage their finances post-IPO to optimize growth and minimize risks.
