These three startup companies have received an extraordinary response as all of them have listed between 90 and 17 per cent higher premiums. Zomato is an old listed company on exchanges now, however, Nykaa made market debut last week and Policy Bazaar on November 15. 

Except for Policybazaar, which has a market capitalisation of over Rs 68,000 crore, both Zomato and Nykaa have crossed the Rs 1-trillion market capitalisation on the BSE.

The shares of food aggregator Zomato have been surging for the fourth straight day since the company has made an announcement of investments in three startup companies and also disclosed the roadmap of investing around $1 billion in the next two-three years. The counter has jumped over 25 per cent and also hit new life high in the last 4 sessions in a row.

Similarly, a day after its listing, PolicyBazaar shares have surged over 14 per cent intraday today to Rs 1371 per share and has also touched a new all-time high of Rs 1418.6 per share on the BSE. On the other hand, Nykaa shares have been trading mute on the back of weak second-quarter results.
