Happiest Minds Gets SEBI Nod To Launch IPO Shares

The following year, 2019, also witnessed lots of activities in the segment, with several large players floating their initial public offers in the market.

After a break of almost four months, the action is once again back in the IPO segment, with several companies announcing IPO launch. The last to join the list is Happiest Minds Technologies.
