Jio Platforms Plans May IPO Amid Market Uncertainty; Wipro Shares Decline After Q4 Results

Jio Platforms is preparing for its initial public offering (IPO), expected to file draft papers in May including full-year FY26 financials, after delaying the original March timeline due to market uncertainties linked to Iran tensions. The company has engaged major global and domestic banks for the listing. Meanwhile, Wipro's stock declined about 4% following a weak Q4 with a 2% net profit drop to Rs 3,502 crore, amid revenue pressures and cautious near-term outlook, though attrition rates have slightly improved.
