Netcore, a SaaS business, delays its IPO due to "uncertain market conditions."
According to founder and group MD Rajesh Jain, Mumbai-based bootstrapped SaaS business - Netcore Cloud has postponed its initial public offering on Indian stock exchanges due to uncertain macroeconomic conditions and a perceived "softness" in client decision-making in the SaaS sector.
The IPO process for Netcore had initially begun in August of this year, with the listing scheduled for February or March of the following year.
Employees can now exercise their stock options and get payment for the difference between the allotted price and the company's internal notional value thanks to a stock option liquidity programme that Netcore has launched. We made this decision to allow our employees the flexibility to realise ESOP benefits, according to Jain.

Twitter launched official tags for some accounts, but Elon Musk quickly killed them.
The 'official' tag experiment by Twitter, which replaces the current blue verified checkmark, isn't working out well, adding additional turmoil and confusion to the already confusing verification procedure. Elon Musk, the business's new owner, "killed" the initiative after receiving the official badge under his profile name, according to some reports.
Twitter said both verified and non-verified members would have to pay $8 per month in order to receive the renowned blue checkmark next to the profile name following Musk's takeover almost two weeks ago.
To allay these worries, Musk declared that some accounts, including those associated with the government, the media, and certain businesses, would immediately receive an official, ostensibly without the need for a subscription. More users were misinformed about the verification process due to the ambiguity around the official tag's acquisition method.
