Dear Valued Stakeholder,

In May 2020, the Government of India announced measures to help companies raise funds, including allowing Indian companies to directly list in overseas markets.

This can be a massive game changer and once necessary changes are made to the current regulatory framework, will definitely improve the competitiveness of Indian companies in terms of access to diversified and cost efficient pools of capital, bigger investor base and better valuations. It is also expected that a mandatory requirement to have such securities listed on Indian stock exchange/s will be done away with.

Grant Thornton Bharat is organising a webinar on Overseas Listing – The Big Opportunity for Indian companies, on 6 November 2020 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, with a focus on high growth and high-tech companies and start-ups, who will benefit by listing overseas.

An eminent panel of speakers will share their insights on the scale of the opportunity, benefits, choice of markets, challenges as well as the preparation involved for a company to start the process of listing overseas.
