CONCLUSION:

On the basis of various points given, it can be inferred that the pros of going for an
IPO overweigh the cons. Therefore the company should go for Initial Public
Offering. The various reasons why it should go for an IPO are as follows:

Narayana Hrudalaya is a recognizable brand in the country. It is a reputable

brand name in South India. Therefore an IPO will attract good response from
the public.

The revenues of the company have grown by 2.86 times in the past five years
giving it a green signal to go for an IPO.

It holds a strong brand name and is known for its highly effective business
model which helps to uplift its image.

There is a guarantee on the amount invested by the organization as the past

records of 5 years reflect an increase in revenue by 30%.This financial
information encourages public to invest in the company.

Health sector is on the rise in the millennial sector, which gives Narayana
Hrudalaya a green signal to go for an IPO because this is one industry where
returns are mostly profitable.

Raising capital from other sources such as bank loans is not a feasible option
as the company needs it for expansion purpose and bank loans do not provide
the option of raising such a large amount of capital.

Getting listed with the help of IPO provides an edge over other competitors
as it increases the brand image and scope of the market.

Narayana Hrudalaya is known for being involved in various CSR activities

which help in creating a positive image of the organization, which would
result in a positive response for IPO.
