Practice Drills: Building an IPO Readiness Gap Analysis

A hands-on drill course for CFOs, finance controllers, corporate development teams, and founders of late-stage companies weighing an NSE or BSE mainboard listing. You will work through a single illustrative Indian private company and build its IPO readiness gap analysis from scratch: testing it against SEBI ICDR eligibility, stress-testing its financials, board, cap table, controls, and disclosure practices against what a DRHP and SEBI LODR will demand, then scoring, costing, and sequencing every gap into a listing roadmap you can present to a board.
