Kolkata: The Rs 1,788.62-crore Amagi Media Labs IPO could manage to attract only 13% subscription till the end of the second day of bidding on Jan 14. The issue was subscribed 0.13 times overall -- 0.52 times in the retail category, 0.03 times in QIB (Ex Anchor), and 0.08 times in the NII category. The QIB or Qualified Institutional Buyer category is important because this category consists of banks and mutual funds which have deep pockets to invest and the skills and wherewithal to analyse an issue threadbare.
The IPO is designed to raise Rs 1,788.62-crore through a combination of fresh shares of 2.26 crore aggregating to Rs 816.00 crore and an OFS of 2.69 crore shares aggregating to Rs 972.62 crores.
Amagi Media Labs operates in the domain of cloud-based broadcast and related TV technology. The skills of the Bengaluru-headquartered company lie in offering end-to-end solutions for content creation, distribution, and monetisation across traditional TV and streaming platforms. According to analysts the risks include high dependence on digital advertising cycle and rising competition from global ad-tech platforms. Changes in data privacy and regulatory changes in related fields and advertising policies could also pose a degree of risk.

Considering the issue price as Rs 361, the estimated listing price of Amagi Media Labs shares is Rs 390 which signals a listing gain of 8.03%. The GMP has been ruling at this level since Dec 12. However, it must be kept in mind that GMP is a highly volatile element and it is also an unofficial gauge which cannot guarantee listing gain (or loss).
