In the widespread market-economy like ours, business ventures are defined by their sustenance. Any dependable business return depends on a variety of factors. This makes it all the more necessary to understand the basic capacity of any business and its general growth in terms of market-future. Indian markets form a hub of investments and there are various options available for the investors to grow their capital base. 

Every organization needs a stable level of profitability. For this purpose, fund-raising is a dependable method through which money can be raised in order to grow the business or clearing the obligations. An FPO i.e. Follow-On Public Offer is one such channel through which a financial organization can raise assets from investors. An FPO or Follow-On Public Offer is one of such methods through which companies issue shares for raising enough capital to meet their specific needs and requirements. This issuance is done by a company that is listed on the Stock Exchange and the shares on sale are additional shares after an Initial Public Offering i.e. IPO. Assets are raised by offering channels to the investors at lower and limited rates. This means that the investors get an opportunity to purchase new and extra offers at costs lower than the current market price.

YES Bank Follow-On Public Offer, July 2020

After the 2019 debacle where YES Bank had to face financial collapse and share-investment was pumped in by SBI by buying around 49% stake of the bank, YES Bank has announced an FPO from 15th July, 2020. The purpose of this FPO is to raise capital reserves and fiscal corpus through the selling of shares and to reduce the amount of debt. Moreover, this FPO has been widely viewed by analysts as a platform for increasing bank solvency. As the volume of bad debt on YES Bank had grown, there was a growing push towards public offering in order to raise the capital adequacy ratio of the bank and this FPO is a major step towards that.   

Keeping in view the fact that a majority of financial institutions and establishments in India are aiming to become completely debt-free in the coming years, with a prime focus on GDP contribution, the decision by YES Bank has come at an apt time for the investors.
