Life insurance corporation of India

The government pocketed roughly 205 billion rupees ($2.16 billion) from selling a 3.5% stake in India's largest insurer and biggest domestic financial investor, a far cry from its initial target of up to $12 billion.

The shares slid nearly 8% on their debut in May 2022.

Paytm

Paytm, an Indian fintech firm, raised 183 billion rupees ($1.92 billion) in November 2021 in a mix of a fresh share issue and an offer for sale. Ant Group reduced its stake to 23% from 28% and SoftBank's Vision Fund cut its holding to 16%.

Paytm lost more than 27% on its debut, the biggest listing-day drop in Indian IPO history at the time.
