Sometimes an IPO opens and the numbers start telling their own story before analysts even weigh in. That’s more or less what happened with the Excelsoft Technologies IPO today. The bidding showed early signs of interest especially from retail and NII investors while institutions kept a slow pace, something that’s become almost routine in recent IPOs.
The overall subscription touched 1.55 times by the end of the first day. Most of the traction came from retail and NII categories, pushing activity higher toward market close. If you’re tracking this issue closely, the complete breakdown and category-wise movement remain available on the official Excelsoft Technologies IPO page.
The first day usually sets the tone, but it rarely defines the outcome. In this case, retail participation came in strong, touching 1.98 times, while NIIs pushed their side to 2.59 times. QIB bids stayed muted at 0.01 times, which often reflects timing rather than sentiment, institutions tend to step in later.
By the day’s end, total bids reached 1.55 times the available shares (excluding anchor), and applications crossed 1.84 lakh. It created a steady opening rhythm without the frenzy we sometimes see.

Based on the upper price band.
Every IPO has a structure that says more about the company’s intentions than the pitch deck ever does. Excelsoft’s ₹500 crore issue is split across key investor categories in a fairly standard way. QIBs hold the largest portion at 50%, retail investors get 35%, and NIIs account for 15%.
The anchor tranche, which often signals early institutional appetite, was fully subscribed on the pre-opening day. Whether that momentum carries forward depends on how the broader market reads the company’s growth plans and the timing of bids from institutional desks.
Category | Shares Offered | Amount (Rs Cr) | Size (%) |
Anchor Investor | 1,24,99,999 | 150.00 | 30.00% |
QIB | 2,08,33,333 | 250.00 | 50.00% |
NII | 62,50,000 | 75.00 | 15.00% |
bNII (bids above ₹10L) | 41,66,667 | 50.00 | 10.00% |
sNII (bids below ₹10L) | 20,83,333 | 25.00 | 5.00% |
Retail | 1,45,83,333 | 175.00 | 35.00% |
Total | 4,16,66,666 | 500.00 | 100% |
Companies disclose fund use, but sometimes you can sense the direction they’re heading simply by reading between the lines:
Construction of a new building at the Mysore property
Upgradation of electrical systems at the existing Mysore facility
Modernising IT infrastructure across software, hardware and network systems
Anchor participation usually offers a quick snapshot of institutional interest. Excelsoft allotted 1,24,99,999 shares at ₹120 each, split evenly across 30-day and 90-day lock-ins. This structure keeps part of the holding stable while offering staggered liquidity for institutions later.
