Market Impact: High - This is a significant IPO listing with over 451 crore equity shares. The staggered lock-in expiry dates will impact share liquidity and trading volumes at different intervals. The immediate availability of 16.31 crore public shares and employee ESOP shares provides initial market liquidity.

Corporate Action: The merger and subsequent share extinguishment of over 406 crore shares represents a major corporate restructuring that consolidated the holding structure before the IPO.
Investor Categories: The circular demonstrates a diverse shareholder base including promoters, anchor investors, AIFs, employees, and public investors, each with different lock-in obligations reflecting their investment timing and category.
