Zomato IPO
Inspite of all warnings about very high valuations for a consistent loss making SW interface, retailers have already applied 200% of their quota.
PROs :
- Potential growth among Indian consumers (increasing mobile usage, under penetrated food delivery in various cities across)
- Deep pockets ready to burn much more cash to acquire, retain customers
- Negligible debt
- Very high interest among FIIs.

CONs:
- Consistent loss maker since Day1
- High cost to acquire/retain customers
- Seeking valuation(MCAP ~60000 Crores ) as high as sum of all listed restaurants, food chains in India.
- Easy replicable business model for a new entrant
- MOAT is only the loyal customers who can be lured for heavy discounts, better service by competitors.

Still scratching my head what did I not see in this offer which other retailers have seen and applied.
2.5X RII imho is very low 1st day response so ppl definitely think its over-priced :)
my pizza stock doing very well :p
in the hottest listings, we've seen even 100X and more after bid closing.

Consider case of burger king, issue size was 800 Cr (retail quota10% - 80 cr), got subscribed 70X = 5600Cr worth of interest by retailers
Zomato issue size is massive 9300 Cr(retail quota 10% - 930 Cr) , even a 10X final subscription would mean the craziness among retailers which I am talking about.

Anyways in the recent IPOs the retailers have been very cautious and participation is less than 15X (Dodla-13X, Barbeque - 13X, KIMS- 3X, Lodha -0.5X)
