The Jio IPO is Finally Here | TWITI #41 of 2026
Jio Platforms IPO has opened for subscription on October 21st, just after Navratri but just before Dusshera. From Groww: The Jio Platforms IPO opened for public subscription on October 21, 2026, and runs through October 23, 2026. Valued at ₹30,213 crore (~$3.2 billion) with a price band of ₹1,065 to ₹1,119 per share, it became India’s fastest major offering to achieve full subscription within 100 minutes.
This was the most anticipated IPO probably in Indian tech history. But it achieving full subscription in less than two hours is still crazy!

Book Recommendation of the Week
If you haven’t read science fiction but want to start, read Project Hail Mary. I haven’t seen the movie and I heard it is great, but I’m sure the book is better than the movie.
