How IPOs reshape control

Analyze how a very large initial public offering can reshape a company’s strategy, governance, and public expectations. Compare the trade-offs between fundraising, founder control, regulatory scrutiny, employee wealth creation, and long-term market discipline. What conditions make a mega-IPO a smart move, and when can it create pressure that harms execution? Use examples from technology, telecom, or infrastructure companies, and suggest a framework investors or executives could use to judge readiness for listing.
