Will IPO issues help in spreading financial inclusion??

Yes, Esha. I support your school of thought to an extent. I am of the opinion that the disparity in our society is one of the factors that will put a break on the soaring growth that we are witnessing. With lack of exposure, it is difficult for many people to take the risk of investing in stocks or mutual funds. By introducing IPO's you can definitely say that the knowledge of one particular company's workforce will increase.

But, I feel that financial inclusion is a very broad term in this context. The inclusion in this case will not be plausible as the labour force may not be in a position to own scripts of high value. I believe financial inclusion should be driven by banks and institutions. The key is to educate the citizens, be it through the RDP or through the news on Doordarshan. They need to know the value their money can have in the future. This can be done only buy some sort of understanding of where the industry, company and the country is heading. 

I think it will, just imagine there are lakhs together workers in Coal India company itself, around about 4 lakh to be specific and in that around 80% of them are the basic workforce who do not have a demat account or a financial umbrella for them, but now with the companies IPO people would love to buy their own companies stocks and be a owner of it. And for that to happen many will have to open their Demat accounts to have their stocks and with so many IPO's many new people are entering Stock market trading and yes this surely helps in spreading financial inclusion..
