How to Buy Pre-IPO Shares in India

By TriArc CapitalPublished 2026-09-126 min read

Start with the opportunity

Before discussing a transaction, understand the company, the available information, the proposed structure, and why the shares may be available. A short summary should not replace due diligence.

Confirm availability and terms

Ask about current availability, indicative pricing, minimum quantity, transfer restrictions, documentation, settlement, fees, and the expected timeline. Terms can change as private-market conditions change.

Understand the risks

Pre-IPO investing can involve uncertain valuations, limited liquidity, and the risk that no IPO occurs. An enquiry is not an order or a guarantee of allocation. Review the disclaimer and obtain independent advice where appropriate.
