Explanation

In Indian IPO regulations, investors who can apply for shares worth up to Rs 1 lakh (100,000) are classified as Retail Individual Investors (RIIs). This category is designed to encourage small individual participation. Anchor investors invest much more (minimum Rs 10 crore), HNIs apply for more than Rs 2 lakh, and institutional investors are entities like banks and mutual funds.
