National Stock Exchange, India’s leading stock exchange has made intensive efforts over the years to educate SME’s about the benefits of raising funds through its SME Platform – EMERGE, by issuing an IPO.  The platform helps entrepreneurs to raise capital for their growth and innovation and helps the companies to unlock value for its early investors to find an efficient exit.

NSE also presents an alternative capital expansion route like the Institutional Trading Platform (ITP). ITP is an exclusive platform for start-ups and growing companies to list and showcase their performance to their lenders and potential investors, without an IPO (Initial Public Offer). Here companies can raise funds through rights or placement issues.

The criterion for getting listed on Emerge:  Companies with a post-issue paid up capital of less than 25 crores and they have to have a track record of 3 years, positive cash accruals for 2 years and positive net worth to be eligible.

The criteria for listing on ITP, without an IPO, is that the company should not have been incorporated for more than 10 years; one year’s audited financial statement, revenues of less than 100 crores and paid up capital of less than 25 crores. It should have existing investors and lenders to be eligible to list on ITP. Along with the ITP segment, the SME initiative of the exchange also includes NSE Emerge where companies can bring out IPO (unlike Emerge ITP).

"The Institutional trading platform helps SME companies in enhancing the visibility of the company, creating a market for the company's shares; besides increasing public awareness and interest in the company and it's products. It also provides access to additional fund raising, through rights or placement issues" said Mr Ravi Varanasi, Chief - Business Development, NSE.

NSE has established a credible admission process and also handholds interested entrepreneurs in their journey to the capital markets. The exchange lends support to the issuer companies to reach out to the investor community. The platform encourages the promoters to give an audience to the investor community to instil confidence in them and thereby build their credibility. NSE is very keen that good quality companies should be able to raise funds on Emerge, while on the other hand it is an opportunity for investors to invest in high growth companies, with good business models.
