India is one of the fast changing economies, where small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have become an important element of growth, employment generation and innovation. Yet, with the maturity of these enterprises, they usually encounter the problem of finding sufficient and long-term financing. Although the traditional mode of funding through banks loans and other privately financed investments can be used, the "going public" process through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) is revolutionary.

The idea behind SME IPO is to have an SME on which the companies share will be listed, and that is the BSE SME or NSE Emerge. The process gives a new access to capital, visibility and growth that becomes cumbersome to finance solely by going private.

Regulatory and Economic justification

The SMEs in India have been given an advantage by the development of a scheme of making them go public by SMEs and the exchanges of India with some of the favorable terms to be brought on to them lessening norms of compliance, lower listing and introduction fees and a mandatory hand-holding procedure to the first-time issuer whose issue is the subject of such hand-holding. MEx collaborates with regulatory agencies and other SMEs in order to make sure that all requirements are satisfied, otherwise this can halt and cause delays within the process.
