One interesting inference one can draw is that, like in the Paytm issue, the domestic mutual funds have been largely inactive barring a couple of mutual funds like Mirae AMC and Edelweiss AMC.
Among other domestic anchor investors were IIFL Opportunities Fund and a host of insurance companies including HDFC Life, Max Life Insurance and Bharti AXA Life.
It may be noted that among the major investors, two are suffixed as ODI. These refer to offshore derivative instruments.
