This will be the first market outside South Kores where the country is listed. Hyundai, which entered the Indian market in 1996 is one of the top automakers in India, moving between the second and third spots. The company emerged as the second biggest automaker in Hyundai. Since it entered the Indian market, the company has sold over 80 lakh cars in the country. Hyundai intends to establish India as a global manufacturing and export hub for the company and this might be an initial step in this direction. KFin Technologies is the registrar for the public issue and advisors for the issue include Kotak Investment Banking, Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley. <h2>India’s biggest IPO</h2>Hyundai India is looking to raise ₹27,870 crore from the IPO, significantly higher than the ₹21,008 crore raised by the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 2022, making it the biggest IPO in India’s history. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111690863" title="The biggest IPOs in India’s history – LIC to Paytm, companies that have raised the most funds" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>About the IPO</h2>The upcoming IPO from Hyundai is entirely an offer for sale (OFS), with the company looking to offload up to 17.5% of shares, which is 14.22 crore shares with a price band of ₹1865 to ₹1,960 per share. Bids can be made in a lot size of 7 shares or multiples of 7 shares. The IPO opens on October 15 and will close on October 18. While the allotment will be finalised on October 18, the shares will be listed on the stock exchange on October 22. At the upper end of the price band, Hyundai Motor India will be valued at $18 billion (approx. ₹1.6 lakh crore), which is around 40% of its parent company, Hyundai Global’s $45 billion valuation. As it is entirely an OFS, the company won’t receive any funds and all the funds raised will go to Hyundai Global. However, the company has said that part of the funds will be allocated towards research and development, especially in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid technologies. The company has reserved 7.78 lakh shares with a value of ₹131 to ₹138 crore for employees. Employees will get these shares at a discount of ₹186 per share. <h2>First carmaker in over two decades to go public</h2>In addition to being the biggest IPO in the country’s history, this will also make the company the first car maker to go public in India in over two decades. The last car maker to go public was Maruti Suzuki, which held its IPO in 2003. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114120828" title="The Ola Electric Saga: Are surge in complaints and declining market share a wake-up call for Bhavish Aggarwal?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> With the IPO, the company will join other car makers such as Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Mahindra &amp; Mahindra to be listed in the Indian stock market. <h2>Hyundai in India</h2>The Indian market contributes to around 15% of the company’s global sales and is the third biggest market for the company after the United States and South Korea. The company has already invested around $5 billion in the country and plans to invest an additional $4 billion over the next few years.

During the 3-month period from April to June 2024, the company earned a revenue of ₹17,567.98 crore. The company recorded a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹6,060.04 crore in FY24, up from ₹4,709.25 crore in FY23 and ₹2,901.59 crore in FY22. The company recorded a PAT of ₹1,489.65 crore from April to June 2024. “Hyundai Motor India is seeking a slightly higher premium to Maruti and lower to M&amp;M based on price earnings ratio while Hyundai stands to be expensive in terms of price to book value. Hyundai India justifies its premium ask considering its leadership in SUV sales, world-class brand image followed by better safety ratings, Multi-segment growth visibility largely been driven by its popular SUVs, particularly the Creta, Exter, and Venue models in the Indian market,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities. <h2>Hyundai paid ₹10,780 crore dividend in FY24</h2>Ahead of the IPO, Hyundai paid a ₹10,780 crore dividend in FY24, up from ₹4,653.42 crore dividend in FY23 and ₹1,493.45 crore dividend in FY22. With this, the company’s cash and bank balance has declined from ₹17,741.15 crore a year ago to ₹9,017.35 crore. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113925972" title="September Auto sales – Automakers report a decline, Mahindra and Mahindra overtakes Tata Motors" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> “As a result, our ability to utilise our internal accruals and cash and bank balances has been reduced. Any resultant insufficiency in our internal accruals and cash and bank balance may require us to borrow money to meet our growth requirements and incur borrowing costs, which may adversely impact our profitability, financial ratios and results of operations,” the company said in its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP). <h2>Declining grey market premium</h2>Grey market premium (GMP) is the premium at which IPO shares are traded in an unofficial market before they are listed on the stock exchanges. In essence, it is the premium above the issue price of a share. The GMP of Hyundai has been on a decline, from ₹570 around two weeks ago to ₹130. <h2>Key risks to remember</h2>Here are some of the key risks that the business faces: <h3>Rising part prices</h3>There has been an increase in prices of key vehicle parts over the years, especially chipsets. A further rise in price may impact the company’s profitability in the coming years. <h3>Production disruptions</h3>The company has said that any disruption to its Chennai plant will adversely impact the production and the company’s finances. <h3>Supplier dependency</h3>Another risk to keep in mind is the company’s dependency on its suppliers. Any disruption in its supply chain will adversely impact its production and profitability. <h3>Competition</h3>Hyundai alternates between the second and third position in the Indian car market. An increase in competition, with the increased sales of Mahindra and Mahindra, the company faces a new competitor.

Hyundai IPO review – Everything you need to know about India’s biggest IPO

Think Initial Public Offers (IPOs) are a sure-shot, quickfire method to make a quick buck? If so, then investing in some of India's biggest IPOs to date would have created multiple millionaires. However, if the data is to be believed, 18 out of India's top 30 IPOs by way of size have failed to deliver on the returns front. Recent data from Capitalmind PMS suggests that of all the mega IPOs India has seen in the past 2 decades, only 12 IPOs i.e. stocks of 12 companies have delivered more returns that what you would have received, had you bought and held your investments in Nifty500(which invests in biggest 500 companies by market size). Infact, Paytm (54%), <keyword id="20024191" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Reliance-Power" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Reliance Power" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Reliance Power">Reliance Power</keyword> (81%), General Insurance Corporation (2%) actually generated negative total returns to date. The only outliers in the list of top 10 IPOs were Zomato (listed in July 2021) and Coal India (listed in April, 2010), which managed to generate excess returns i.e. more than what was generated by Nifty500. While Zomato's total return to date, which is considered a comprehensive gauge of a stock's profitability, stands at 265%, Coal India total returns are a massive 443%. In these cases, had you simply bought and held the Nifty500 index for a similar duration, your returns would've been 73%, and 435% respectively. Also, 5 of the biggest IPOs India has ever seen (Bajaj Housing Finance, Bharti Hexacom, Brainbees, Ola Electric) have come in the last 2 years. In some cases, having stayed put in your index investments would have yielded you far better returns. Consider this, FSN E-Commerce, Nykaa's parent company, listed on the exchanges on November 2021. Its total returns till date have been 2%, while had you invested in Nifty500 index, your returns would've been 53%. Similarly, the total returns to date on Bandhan Bank's stock, which listed in March 2018, was a negative 43%. But, the index has delivered a whopping 163% returns during the same time.

Not really </h2>It is impossible to overlook the sheer number of public offerings seen in the Indian markets over the past 2 years. Around 600 share sale offers have already hit the market since 2023. Out of these, 335 have come in this year, as of October 2024. While over Rs 50,000 crores have been raised by these share sales so far since 2023, only 22% of these funds raises have come from companies who are hitting the market for the first time i.e. bringing out their IPOs. The rest have come from already listed companies seeking to raise more funds. The biggest IPO that India has seen to date, that of <keyword id="19906087" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hyundai" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Hyundai" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Hyundai">Hyundai</keyword> Motor India, closes for subscription today. With an offer size of Rs 27,870.16 crore, it is 35% bigger than the previous biggest IPO in the country(LIC in May 2022). As of 12:30 pm today, Hyundai's offer had been 87% subscribed, with significant interest from QIBs and employees. At 0.43x, participation of retail investors remained largely subdued. Notably, an IPO is considered cancelled and withdrawn, if it fails to meet the 90% subscription threshold.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>College graduates have stronger social lives than non-college-educated Americans, a survey found.</li><li>College can foster connections and offer financial benefits that can boost one's social life.</li></ul>In recent years, many young people have questioned whether the benefits of a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/only-1-in-4-americans-think-going-college-worth-it-2024-5">college degree</a> are worth the cost of tuition. According to a new survey, college graduates appear to have a clear edge in one area: their social lives.The Survey Center on American Life — a nonprofit organization backed by the right-wing think tank the American Enterprise Institute — published a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.americansurveycenter.org/research/disconnected-places-and-spaces/">report</a> in August based on a survey of more than 6,500 US adults conducted in March and April. The respondents were asked about their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-antiaging-friendship-social-interaction-relationships-2023-9">social interactions</a> and participation in their communities.The survey found that 24% of non-college-educated Americans had no close friends and 17% had at least six close friends. Among Americans with at least a bachelor's degree, 45% had at least six close friends, and 10% had none.Question after question, the same social divide continued to emerge in the survey. For example, compared to Americans without a degree, college graduates were much more likely to say they had friends who could help them move, give them a ride, take them to a doctor's appointment, or offer them a place to stay.Across all education levels, Americans reported having significantly fewer friends than they did in a similar Gallup survey conducted in 1990, according to the Survey Center report. However, the widespread <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hanging-out-book-sheila-liming-social-isolation-2023-3">decline in socialization</a> in recent decades has been steeper for people without a college degree. "Americans with fewer years of formal education participate less often in community life, are less civically active, have fewer close friends, and have less social support than those with four-year college degrees," the authors wrote. "Increasingly, the ability to cultivate strong social support is a privilege reserved for the college-educated, rather than an ordinary feature of American life," they added.The Survey Center report provides additional evidence for something several experts have been saying in recent years: Americans <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/death-casual-fringe-friendships-gen-z-sad-jobs-alone-2024-2">aren't making friends</a> like they used to and are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/weekends-feel-different-post-pandemic-isolation-loneliness-economy-tiktokers-2024-1">spending more time alone</a>. Last year, US Surgeon General <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/american-culture-social-individualism-loneliness-epidemic-2024-1">Vivek Murthy</a> said the US was facing an "epidemic of loneliness and isolation" and raised concerns about the physical and mental health consequences of this development.Declining participation in social institutions like marriage, insufficient access to public amenities like community centers, and financial challenges are among the reasons Americans without degrees could be having a particularly hard time making friends.To be sure, there's disagreement among experts about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/there-is-no-loneliness-epidemic-mental-health-2024-4">how much</a> Americans' social lives have changed in recent decades and the primary causes of this shift.<h2 id="687049e2-f7c3-4e53-8ad7-d9b9ceff8c38">It's getting harder for people without degrees to make friends</h2>In the past, marriage, religious organizations, and labor unions were key to providing social support for Americans. However, in recent decades, people have become less likely to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/americans-are-moving-less-social-demographic-changes-2022-8">marry</a>, join a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/union-households-pay-bump-median-wealth-fewer-race-gaps-2024-3">labor union</a>, and regularly attend a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-the-nones-more-americans-religiously-unaffiliated-who-are-they-2024-1">place of worship</a>. This decline has been much steeper for Americans with lower levels of education, according to the Survey Center report.Additionally, non-college-educated Americans were also less likely to be members of nonreligious community groups like hobby or activity groups, community groups or neighborhood associations, and sports leagues or workout groups. In recent decades, Americans with degrees have continued to join these groups at "relatively high" rates, while those without degrees have become "increasingly unattached," according to the report."When all of these things start to come together, you're seeing the bottom fallout of these institutions that historically have provided a grounding of participation and connection in American life," Sam Pressler, coauthor of the report and practitioner fellow at the University of Virginia's Karsh Institute of Democracy, told Business Insider.At the same time, Pressler said there's a "pay to play" system in many Americans' social lives. Public spaces that have the potential to foster social connections often come with a financial cost, and this can benefit college graduates, who tend to earn <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bls.gov/emp/chart-unemployment-earnings-education.htm">higher wages</a> than <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/young-men-working-less-no-college-degree-student-loan-debt-2024-5">people without degrees</a>."You go to a coffee shop or you go to a bar or a restaurant, those things have dollar signs attached to them," he said. "You go and join a gym, you're going to Equinox or even the YMCA, that costs money."Even in free public spaces like libraries, community centers, and parks, the survey found that non-college-educated Americans were less likely to use them as a social gathering place. Pressler said one explanation for this could be that Americans with degrees were more likely to live in areas with extensive and high-quality public spaces and community groups."If you are out of those traditional structures, you have to do so much more work to schedule time with friends, to build relationships," he said. "All of the work gets put onto you."Additionally, people without a college degree may also be more likely to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/side-hustle-recommendations-jobs-to-try-this-year-concerts-surveys-2024-3">work multiple jobs</a>, or have roles with unpredictable hours, Pressler said. For example, he pointed to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gig-economy-trends-workers-delivery-ride-hailing-apps-uber-doordash-2023-7">rise of gig work</a> in recent years. Driving during nights and weekends — prime social hours — can be the most profitable for an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nyc-uber-and-lyft-driver-who-only-drives-at-night-2022-7">Uber or Lyft driver</a> who's looking to earn some extra cash."If you don't know what your schedule is going to be in a week or two weeks if you are working several jobs, it's very hard to imagine being able to plan to participate in community or spend time with family and build those relationships," Pressler said.For some people, the workplace can provide another opportunity to make friends. In 2022, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-working-from-home-office-misses-friends-loneliness-remote-2024-6">over half</a> of respondents told the Survey Center that they'd met a close friend through their work or a spouse's work. However, college graduates were more likely to have done so.<h2 id="8fcf4dc4-64b7-407d-b2ef-24e5ba206c58">Going to college can be a "supercharger of relationships"</h2>Of course, some of the social benefits of a college degree date back to the connections fostered on campuses. Pressler said the college experience can be a "supercharger of relationships" and that people who don't pursue a degree — and go straight into the workforce for example — may not have the same social opportunities.Once students graduate, many of them move to cities where they can continue to build upon their college connections."You have potentially the leisure time and the discretionary income to participate in community life with other people who have college degrees and you're also involved and meshed in these networks of your fellow alum," Pressler said.On the whole, Pressler said that he thinks the financial and social benefits of a college degree have increased in recent decades, adding that the decline in some middle-class jobs — driven by factors that include <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-men-working-less-recessions-employment-productivity-2024-4">globalization and recessions</a> — is partly responsible for this.When young people decide whether to go to college, Pressler said he thinks many of them place significant value on the social benefits that can come with a college education. He said this is among the reasons many colleges' recruiting efforts — in an attempt to attract students — emphasize the clubs, Greek life, and sports on campus.But despite the social benefits, Pressler said this doesn't mean a college degree is for everyone."I don't think the answer is to necessarily get more young adults to go to college because of the adverse social consequences that we highlighted in our report," he said. "Rather, we should be aiming to mitigate — and, ideally, eliminate — the educational divide in civic life." While Pressler said there is no "silver bullet" solution for Americans' overall friendship decline — and the larger decline for people without degrees — he said there are several solutions worth considering.For example, he said housing and neighborhood policies could be better used to promote connection in communities."This could include everything from housing policies that promote more middle and social housing, to neighborhood policies that provide micro-grants for block parties, community dinners, sports leagues, and block clean-ups that bring neighbors together," he said.Did you go to college in large part for the expected social benefits?
