While the government intends to allow Indian companies to directly list overseas, clear guidelines and regulations are awaited. Meanwhile, growing market acceptance and investor interest in SPAC IPOs provide an exciting opportunity that Indian businesses should not miss to access global markets. However, Indian companies need to be conscious of the disclosures and preparation required to successfully go down the SPAC route.
