A lead manager, also known as a merchant banker, is a SEBI-registered financial institution appointed by a company to manage its IPO from start to finish. Their responsibilities include conducting due diligence, preparing the DRHP (Draft Red Herring Prospectus), filing with SEBI, setting the price band, managing book building, and coordinating the listing on BSE or NSE.
A lead manager (merchant banker) is a SEBI-registered entity that manages the entire IPO process — due diligence, DRHP preparation, SEBI filing, price band setting, book building, and coordinating the listing on BSE or NSE. They act as the primary intermediary between the issuer company and the investing public.
Yes. Large IPOs often appoint 2–5 lead managers depending on the issue size and complexity. Each appointed merchant banker shares responsibility for the IPO. In performance tracking, the IPO is credited to all appointed lead managers.
Key metrics include: total number of IPOs managed, average listing gain of their IPOs, subscription levels achieved, and the mix of Mainboard vs SME issues handled. A consistent record of well-subscribed IPOs with positive listing gains is generally a positive indicator.
You can verify SEBI registration on sebi.gov.in under the "Intermediaries / Market Infrastructure Institutions" section. All SEBI-registered merchant bankers are listed with their registration number, validity period, and contact details.
