Why do so many Indian investors feel left out when a massive global wealth creation event happens? Just a few days ago, my phone blew up with messages from friends and blog readers alike. Everyone was asking the exact same question: <\/span>After SpaceX\u2019s bumper listing, can Indian investors subscribe to IPOs from USA?<\/b> It is a fair question.

But as the headlines rolled in, a frustrating reality set in for many retail participants sitting in Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Delhi.<\/span><\/p>\n

This brings us to the central question I want to address today: <\/span>After SpaceX\u2019s Bumper Listing, Can Indian Investors Subscribe to IPOs from USA?<\/b> Can you, as an everyday investor in India, actually get your hands on shares at the original IPO offer price, or are you forced to buy them later at a premium? Before we answer that, we need to understand what exactly investors are buying into.<\/span><\/p>\n
