Corporate Governance is administered to provide the maximum benefits to the stakeholders.

The evaluation on the basis of its listing and its returns, describes the customary valuation of such IPO. There is always an impact of the edifice of the management on the pricing of IPOs, the status of directors also affect its pricing structure. It also depends upon the policies, norms and legislative structure of the management.
