This report helps investors understand which Lead Managers are most active in the IPO market by ranking them based on the number of IPOs managed in 2026 and summarising how those IPOs performed on listing.
A Lead Manager is a SEBI-registered Merchant Banker appointed by the company to plan, manage and execute the IPO. They are the architect and executor of the IPO, responsible for credibility, compliance, pricing and smooth listing, but the investment decision still rests with the investor.
In book-building IPOs, the Lead Manager responsible for price discovery is called the Book Running Lead Manager (BRLM).
