Indian fintech giant Paytm listed on the market with an issue size of ₹18,300 crore in November but it turned into a big disappointment due to, what analysts said, overpriced listing. Here is a list of some of the biggest IPOs in India and in the world.

The Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) made its debut in the stock market on Tuesday following its IPO, which has been the country’s largest so far. The LIC IPO closed with nearly three times subscription last week. However, the market debut was weak amid concerns over global market volatility.

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering and it is when the promoters of the company in question for the first time want to raise additional funds by offering shares of the company.
