The initial public offering of Tracxn Technologies saw muted participation from investors as its issue was subscribed just 2.01 times at the end of the three-day window that ended on October 12. This was one of investors' weakest responses to an IPO in 2022. "Due to the rising interest rates globally and recessionary conditions in major markets like North America and Europe, the Private Equity Markets, Venture Capital markets, Investment Banks, and Family offices are witnessing a significant cutback in terms of activities and traction; additionally, M&A activities have been subdued," said Aayush Agrawal, Senior Research Analyst at Swastika Investmart.

"And investors must wait for a few quarters before deciding whether to invest or not for the long term," Agrawal added. (ANI)
