- Lot size: 9 shares.
- Issue size: ₹1,200 crore, all of it an offer for sale. The seller is Edelweiss Securities and Investments, a promoter. No new shares are issued, so the company does not receive money from the IPO.

How much money you need
One lot of 9 shares costs ₹14,985 at the top of the band and ₹14,265 at the bottom. A retail investor can bid for up to ₹2 lakh, which is 13 lots or 117 shares, costing ₹1,94,805 at ₹1,665. A bid for 14 lots would cross ₹2 lakh and move you to the larger non-institutional category.
Who gets what share of the issue
The RHP sets these limits:
- Qualified institutional buyers: not more than 50%. Up to 60% of this part can go to anchor investors.
- Non-institutional investors (bids above ₹2 lakh): not less than 15%.
- Retail investors (bids up to ₹2 lakh): not less than 35%.
The RHP also mentions a part for eligible employees and shareholders. Read the RHP for its size before you bid.
What the company does
EAAA India Alternatives is a subsidiary of Edelweiss Financial Services. It manages alternative investment funds, such as private credit funds, and earns fees for managing them. It was earlier called Edelweiss Alternative Asset Advisors. Since the issue is only a sale of existing shares, buying them does not fund the company's growth directly.

About the grey market premium
Grey market websites quoted a premium of about ₹33 to ₹80 a share on 25 and 26 October 2026, depending on the site, as shown by InvestorGain and IPO Watch. GMP is unofficial. It comes from deals outside the stock exchanges that SEBI does not regulate, it changes every day, and the listing price is often very different.
