I have a question, so Patanjali is one of the leading FMCG companies in India. It has skilfully leveraged the Made in India sentiment, competing toe to toe with more established organisations like Hindustan Unilever and Himalaya. It is the home-grown fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) major and is likely to announce plans for an initial public offering later this year. The yoga guru and founder of Patanjali Ayurved, Baba Ramdev, has said in a recent interview that the Patanjali IPO is in contention but not confirmed yet. According to him, the decision to launch this IPO will be finalised by the end of this financial year.

My question is

a)What are options available to Patanjali for raising the funds from open market? Evaluate the option of raising money by public issue of debt vis-a-vis public issue of equity shares in case of Patanjali. (You may refer latest available financial statements of Patanjali Ayurveda available at http://patanjaliayurved.org/pdf-file/Standalone-Financial-Results-Limited-Review-Report-for-September-30-2020.pdf , ICDR regulations and SEBI regulations of 'Issue and Listing of Debt Securities' )

Also,If let suppose Patanjali Ayurveda Ltd announces IPO, so:

I) How much they are required to allocate for RII's as per ICDR

ii) How much minimum they are required to allocate for Anchor Investor as per ICDR
