Oyo filed for an IPO. This is a huge deal. A comprehensive thread on what this means and how it works.

1/n
Oyo filed it's DRHP with SEBI. DRHP stands for draft red herring prospectus.

Fun fact: it's not red. It's actually a white pdf.
Oyo want to do an IPO. IPO stands for initial public offering.
In an IPO a company sells shares.
Fact: Oyo doesn't sell shareson Amazon. Few realize this.
You have two options:

1. Buy shares
2. Not buy shares
When you apply for an IPO, two things can happen:

1. You can get allotment
2. Not get allotment
Fun IPO fact. You need money to apply for an IPO. Many people confuse the word offer to think that Oyo is giving free shares.
The process of apply for an IPO is you need to click some buttons.
Just because you invest in Oyo doesn't mean you get a discount at their hotel. Important.

You also can't pay Oyo with its shares.

You have really admire how much money the self-help quacks and pop-psychologists make by peddling seemingly asinine bullshit that masquerades as profound insight.

"regular brainstorming sessions are not likely to lead to an increase in unique ideas. In fact, the average novelty of your output — that is, the degree to which your inspirations depart from convention — actually might decrease over time."
There must be atleast a few million books which peddle some nonsensical version of sitting down and taking notes.

Lot of startups who are yet to make profits are filing for IPOs globally. I'm reading the filings and the language is terrible. A few tips on how to do it right.

Pretty much all personal finance books, blogs, podcasts I've come across can be summarized as:

1. Start saving early
2. Spend less, save more
3. Don't take debt
4. Avoid credit cards. Use them only if you can manage them
5. Avoid stock picking. Stick to low-cost index funds
6. Don't tinker with your portfolio frequently
7. Rebalance your portfolio -regularly/annually, etc
8. Avoid thematic funds, hot funds, fancy structured products, commodities, etc
9. Don't do market timing
