The Leela Has Soft Debut, but Now Has IPO Cash

The Leela did everything right - the product was impeccable and the marketing was on-point. But it might have been betrayed by the intimidating "largest-in-Indian-hospitality" IPO size.

The Leela’s parent company Schloss Bangalore debuted on the Indian stock exchanges Monday at INR 406 ($4.74) - 7% below its IPO price. By Tuesday's close, it had only modestly recovered.

The muted investor response comes despite high anticipation for the $400 Million IPO of the luxury chain – the largest in the Indian hospitality industry.
