Abhay Doshi, Founder, UnlistedArena.com, dealing in Pre-IPO & Unlisted Shares said that there could be no better time for new companies to debut on-board. ''However, if we dive deeper, we will find many IPOs looks highly priced or missing growth prospect in such times it would be prudent to choose the options wisely,'' he said.

''The sentiments of primary market are quite bullish so we will witness decent participation which in turn, may emnate listing gains. In my personal opinion, I would choose Krsnaa Diagnostics and Windlas Biotech keeping in view market momentum. Both the companies have decent top line growth but valuations looks bit on the upper side. However the recent bullish market conditions should help them on their debut,'' Doshi added.
