The listing-day paperweight
300–600g sculpted in 999 silver, set on a black marble plinth, with the ticker cast into the face and the listing date engraved underneath. The piece that sits on the founder's desk for the next decade.
Sculpted silver paperweights, listing-day coins, and framed certificate-stones for founders, bankers, and the board. Numbered runs in 999 pure silver, engraved with the ticker, the date, and the names that carried the file across the line.
A listing is the rarest day in a company's life. Most founders only get one. The acrylic ticker, the bell-photograph, the framed prospectus — these end up in a storeroom inside six months. A 400g sculpted paperweight in 999 silver, with the ticker cast into the face and the listing date engraved beneath, sits on the founder's desk the day after, and the year after, and the decade after.
The IPO commemorative also serves a second purpose: it physicalises the syndicate's effort. The bankers, the counsel, the CFO who didn't sleep for six weeks, the anchor investor who took the first cheque. A silver coin in a walnut shadow box, the listing-day printout under glass, the ticker engraved across the top — this is the gift that the recipient brings to the next IPO they work on, and keeps on the desk while they do.
The arithmetic is unusually clean. A founder-tier piece at ₹1,25,000 is, on its worst day, still worth what you paid for the silver in it. The craft is the part the recipient keeps. And the AOV per piece — ₹40,000 to ₹1,50,000 across the three tiers — sits comfortably under the listing-day catering line.
Most IPO briefs settle on three of these — one for the founders' ring, one for the banker desk, one for the wider listing-day team.

A 50g 999 cast coin with the exchange seal, ticker, and listing date, framed in a glass-front walnut shadow box alongside the listing-day printout. For the bookrunners and the underwriting desk.
A silver plate engraved with the listing certificate text, set on a slate-grey stone, framed under museum glass. For board members and independent directors who carried the file across the line.
A 200g 999 plaque with the company logo cast and the ticker letter-set in raised relief. Engraved on the underside with the executive's name and tenure to listing.
A pair of 25g 999 coins — one ticker, one date — boxed in a walnut sleeve with the team member's name on the inside cover. For the wider operations, finance, and legal desks.
A weighted silver box with the company crest cast on the lid and the anchor order date monogrammed inside. Quietly given, quietly kept — the thank-you to whoever wrote the first cheque.
IPO briefs go through the founder, not a relationship manager. That's the only way the work stays this confidential.

The founder's piece — number one of six, 420g of 999 silver, opening price engraved that evening — came back to us in a single line via WhatsApp the next week. “The founder kept his on the desk. The bankers asked for spares.” The spares went out the following month.
NDA on file before any names are exchanged. The founder takes the WhatsApp.
Usually three concentric rings. The founders and CXOs (4–8 pieces, marquee tier), the syndicate desk and bankers (10–20 pieces, considered tier), and the wider listing-day team — operations, finance, legal, the board (40–80 pieces, entry tier). The total ticket sits anywhere between ₹6 lakh and ₹40 lakh depending on tiering.
