to Swiggy: Seven IPOs that generated online frenzy but disappointed after debut

A string of newly listed companies — including

Electric, Solutions, , , and several others — stirred significant chatter across social media platforms before their market debut. Bold claims about industry dominance, disruptive business models, and ambitious growth trajectories fuelled massive anticipation among retail investors. However, once these companies hit the bourses, their performance failed to match the pre-listing hype, delivering muted or even negative returns and falling short of lofty investor expectations. In recent months, the IPO landscape has resembled a rollercoaster, marked by contrasting outcomes. While some issues such as LG Electronics and Groww enjoyed strong, market-beating debuts, others — including Lenskart Solutions and PhysicsWallah — attracted viral attention and commanded steep valuations but struggled to sustain momentum post-listing. Elevated pricing, profitability concerns, and uncertain long-term visibility have contributed to the underperformance of several high-profile, hype-driven IPOs. Additional factors behind the weak post-listing performance include: Aggressive valuations compared to listed peers. Uncertain path to profitability for new-age and platform-based businesses. Market volatility impacting investor appetite for riskier offerings. Overreliance on narrative-driven marketing rather than fundamentals. Sharply shifting sentiment from retail investors who have become more cautious after early losses. Investment in securities market are subject to market risks.
