Unlisted shares are equity stocks of private companies, unicorns, and pre-IPO startups that have not yet listed on public exchanges like NSE or BSE. Investing in unlisted shares allows investors to acquire equity in market leaders before their official IPO.
Private market companies like Zepto, NSE India, OYO, PhonePe, and Tata Capital represent the core growth engine of modern India. By the time a private company lists on the stock exchange via an IPO, a significant portion of its early value creation has already occurred in the unlisted market.
Unlisted shares in India are held electronically in Demat format (CDSL or NSDL). Shares are transferred via an off-market DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) or e-DIS directly into the buyer’s Demat account (Zerodha, Groww, Angel One, ICICI Direct).
