Please never apply for Hyundai IPO.
Reasons:
πΈ It is 100% OFS. Means offer for sale. Not a single money goes to company. All money from our pocket is going to promoter's pocket. And that too in Korea. So this is big loot of India.
πΈ Exorbitant rise in dividendβ¦
π Export Leader
Hyundai also stands as Indiaβs second-largest exporter of PVs, with 21% of its 7.77 lakh vehicles sold in FY 2023-24 being exported to regions such as Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. π’
