BENGALURU -- Paytm's initial public offering, India's largest ever, received a relatively tepid response, at least compared with a recent run of massively oversubscribed offerings by Indian startups Zomato, Nykaa and PolicyBazaar, reflecting apprehensions over a lofty valuation despite a potentially long road to profitability.
The IPO was oversubscribed 1.89 times at the close of the three-day offer on Wednesday, but about half the 48 million available shares had remained unsold by the end of Tuesday.
