Opinions on Indian stocks and mutual funds Indian Overvalued

Are Indian IPOs overvalued again? The buzz centers on Lenskart and the looming bubble, with one post shouting 'Lenskart is going to burst the entire ipo bubble' [1].

• Lenskart — The bubble chatter is loud: one post calls Lenskart 'absurd' at a 70- to 79k crore IPO, while another warns listing premiums are often absorbed by funds, signaling a fragile halo around unicorns [1][2].

• Career Point — The Kota coaching company becomes a flashpoint for IPO skepticism: described as a no-name, with notes that funds were diverted to other businesses as the IPO rolled out [3].

• PhysicsWallah — The edtech darling aims for a ₹3,480 crore IPO at a ₹28,073 crore valuation, with founders selling ₹380 crore to show long-term intent; critics worry about hype fueling the price [4].

• Groww — The fintech broker’s IPO shows steady demand: GMP around ₹14, listing near ₹114 in what amounts to about a 14% premium, with a ₹6,632 crore issue size and robust retail/institutional interest [5].

Bottom line: valuation debates persist, but mutual funds’ support and how listings actually pan out will keep steering this IPO cycle.
