Disclaimer: This is original research data created using AI simulations, so treat it as an opinion piece rather than a statement of fact. AI models can make mistakes, and the figures here reflect what engines returned on the run date. Do your own research before you make any decision based on it.
Executive summary
We asked four AI answer engines the 25 questions a company asks when it raises capital or sells itself in India. The run named 69 organizations across 224 domains, the widest spread of any report in this industry.
SEBI leads on visibility at 48.0 percent and is named in 15 of the 25 questions. The two exchanges follow at 28.8 and 21.6 percent. The first investment bank, Kotak Mahindra Capital, is fourth on 17.6 percent.
The banks that actually do the deals are close to invisible. Only about 22 of the 69 named organizations are investment banks or deal advisers, and in the whole category about selling a company not one reaches the top five.
Top 10 brands by AI visibility score
| # | Brand | Type | Visibility | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SEBI | Regulator | 48.0% | |
| 2 | NSE | Stock exchange | 28.8% | |
| 3 | BSE | Stock exchange | 21.6% | |
| 4 | Kotak Mahindra Cap | Indian IB | 17.6% | |
| 5 | ICICI Securities | Indian IB | 8.8% | |
| 6 | JM Financial | Indian IB | 8.0% | |
| 7 | Sapient Services | Valuation firm | 7.2% | |
| 8 | Axial | US deal network | 6.4% | |
| 9 | Avendus | Indian IB | 5.6% | |
| 10 | DealPlexus | Deal platform | 5.6% |
The visibility score counts where each entity is named. A first place mention earns a full point, fifth place earns a fifth of one, and the total is divided by all 25 questions. Every entity named is ranked.
Type shows what kind of organization each entity is. AI engines name the regulator, exchanges, law firms, valuation practices, compliance services and software vendors alongside banks. All of them are ranked here, because all of them take up space in the answer.
Top 25 cited domains
These 25 domains are the most cited across all 25 questions. The full run produced 375 citations from 224 domains, and the top 25 carry only 36.8 percent of them, the loosest concentration measured in this industry.

Categories and why we chose them
We chose five categories that follow a company from picking a bank to closing a raise. Each one drives real search demand, carries large fees, and forces an engine to name specific firms rather than give general advice.
| # | Category name | Reason for selection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choosing a banker | One mandate can be worth crores in fees, so this is the most valuable question in the report by a wide margin. It is also the only category where the banks themselves reliably appear in the answer. |
| 2 | Going public | Taking a company public is the largest single transaction most founders ever run. The questions are procedural and have correct answers, which makes this the category where the regulator should and does dominate. |
| 3 | Fees and mandates | What a bank charges and what it signs up to are the two things an issuer most wants to know and the two things the market publishes least. Whoever answers them shapes what a client thinks is normal. |
| 4 | Selling or merging | Selling a company is a once in a lifetime decision made by someone with no experience of it. The adviser who is present at the search stage is often the adviser who gets the mandate. |
| 5 | Private capital | Most Indian companies raise private money long before they consider a public issue. These questions catch a founder at the earliest point a banker could be hired, which makes them the cheapest mandates to win. |
Category 1 of 5
Choosing a banker
Five questions about picking a bank: who the top firms are, which merchant banker to use for a public issue, how bulge bracket and boutique differ, how many lead managers are needed, and who has done the most issues.

Question 1.1
Which are the top investment banks in India?
The engines answer with training company listicles. Five of the fifteen sources sell investment banking courses rather than advise on deals, and the league table coverage that would actually answer the question sits below them.

Question 1.2
Which merchant banker should I choose for an IPO in India?
The regulator leads a commercial question, because the only hard fact available is who is registered. No bank ranks a page of its own, and the top sources are registry listings rather than credentials.

Question 1.3
What is the difference between a bulge bracket and a boutique investment bank?
An American question asked in an Indian market. Most of the fifteen sources are foreign, the two banks named first are American, and the distinction itself is a Wall Street category rather than an Indian one.

Question 1.4
How many lead managers does an IPO need in India?
The answer is one. The regulator requires at least a single lead manager and no longer sets a ladder by issue size, so the five and ten manager syndicates on large issues are a commercial choice rather than a rule.

Which investment bank has handled the most IPOs in India?
The one page answered by real data. All five of the top sources are league table trackers, and the banks appear as rows in somebody else's table rather than as publishers of their own record.

Category 2 of 5
Going public
Five questions about the listing itself: how to take a company public, how long it takes, what a draft prospectus is, what the regulator's eligibility rules are, and how a small company issue differs from a main board one.

How do I take my company public in India?
The regulator, both exchanges and a Big Four firm rank, and only one bank does. The sources are mostly broker education pages written for people buying shares rather than for the company selling them.

Question 2.2
How long does an IPO take in India?
Listing happens three working days after the issue closes, but that is the last step. The part a founder actually needs, the months from draft prospectus to approval, is answered vaguely by almost every source.

Question 2.3
What is a DRHP and who files it?
A law firm ranks fifth, one of only four pages in the report where one does. The draft prospectus is filed by the company through its lead merchant banker, with the regulator and the exchanges at the same time.

Question 2.4
What are SEBI's eligibility rules for an IPO in India?
Two routes exist: a profit test, or a book built issue where institutions take three quarters of the offer. A bank ranks fourth here only because its blog explains the rule, not because it helps anyone pass it.

Question 2.5
What is the difference between an SME IPO and a mainboard IPO?
The small company route was tightened sharply in 2025, with a profit test, a cap on how much existing owners may sell and a public comment window on the draft, and the cited pages vary in how much of that they carry.

Question 3.1
What fees do investment banks charge in India?
The only page where a bank leads a fee question. Industry fees came to about Rs 10,725 crore in 2025, and almost every figure available to an issuer comes from newspaper coverage of other people's deals.

Question 3.2
What does a lead manager do in an IPO?
The regulator and both exchanges rank on a question about a bank's job. Most of the fifteen sources are broker explainers, and the merchant bankers themselves publish almost nothing about what they actually do.

Question 3.4
What is a success fee in an M&A deal?
A bank that collapsed in 2008 ranks first, because the fee convention still carries its name. Every source on this page is foreign and the formula they describe is American practice rather than anything used in India.

Question 3.5
What does an IPO cost a company in India?
The exchanges and the regulator lead, none of which sets the price. Small company issues run to roughly seven to ten percent of the money raised, and no comparable published range exists for a main board issue.

Question 4.1
How do I sell my company in India?
Four of the five named entities are listing platforms or compliance services. The people who actually sell companies in India are absent from the question a seller types first, which is the sharpest gap in the report.

Question 4.2
How is a company valued in an M&A deal?
Three valuation firms and a tax publisher rank, and no bank does. Valuation in India is also a regulated filing exercise, which is why the sources skew towards registered valuers rather than deal advisers.

Question 4.3
What is due diligence in an acquisition?
Law firms and consultancies answer this and banks do not, which is correct, because diligence is run by lawyers and accountants. The bank's role is to manage them, which the pages tend to leave out.

Question 4.4
Do I need an investment banker to sell my business?
An American deal network leads a question about Indian practice, and most sources are United States advisory firms arguing that a seller needs one. The regulator ranks second, which is the only Indian anchor on the page.

Question 4.5
How long does an M&A deal take in India?
The competition regulator and the tribunal rank first and second, which is the honest answer. Approval, not negotiation, sets the clock, and a court approved scheme in India has been taking closer to a year than a quarter.

Question 5.1
How do I raise private equity funding in India?
An Indian bank leads for once, and an audit firm ranks second. The sources split between mid market advisers and startup funding guides, which are two different markets treated here as one.

Question 5.2
What is a QIP and when can a company do one?
Only a listed company can do one, and only institutions may buy. The floor price comes from a two week average, with a small discount allowed, and most cited pages explain it to the buyer rather than the issuer.

Question 5.4
What is a pre-IPO placement in India?
A law firm ranks second, one of only four pages where a law firm ranks at all. Shares placed before a listing carry a six month lock in, and the regulator's 2026 change was a mechanical fix rather than a relaxation of that rule.

Question 5.5
How do I find investors for my company in India?
Every named entity is a directory, a platform or a government portal. A company looking for capital is pointed at lists of investors rather than at anyone who could introduce it to them.
