✨ What is the Stock Market?
The stock market is a marketplace where buyers and sellers trade shares of publicly listed companies. It's like an auction where the price of each stock goes up or down depending on demand.
Example: If more people want to buy Reliance shares, its price will go up. If more people want to sell, the price goes down.
📈 Why Do Companies Offer Shares?
Companies list their shares to raise money. This process is called an IPO (Initial Public Offering). The money raised is used for expansion, paying off debt, or launching new products.
In return, investors get ownership in the company and a chance to earn profits.
