MalikTimes is an independent digital news platform focused on Indian startup funding, IPO markets, AI developments, and personal finance, founded and edited by Parvez Ali. The publication’s editorial philosophy is straightforward: report what is verifiable, flag what is not MalikTimes , and never present a company’s own claims as independent findings. For IPO watchers, this translates into coverage that distinguishes between what a company states in its filings and what MalikTimes has independently confirmed, a distinction the site treats as a deliberate editorial choice rather than a formality.
The IPO beat at MalikTimes is split between two reporters with clearly defined responsibilities. Alfisha Malik covers IPO filings and the markets, with recent work including the Burma Burma DRHP, the Jio Platforms IPO analysis, and daily Sensex and Nifty reports, along with block deals and startup funding rounds. Abraham Ali handles IPO reporting and weekly reports, writing the IPO scorecard each week and reading annual filings such as the IntrCity SmartBus numbers. Hardhyansingh covers IPO approvals alongside AI and gold, with stories including the Cult. fit IPO approval and NeoGrowth’s FY26 results. This beat structure was made public so founders, journalists, and PR teams know exactly whom to contact.
The publication tracks both mainboard listings and SME IPOs, a choice that reflects its stated intention to cover smaller listings that do not receive mainstream attention. Ali has explained that MalikTimes tracks an IPO with the same rigor whether it is a mainboard listing everyone is discussing or an SME issue almost nobody covers. The site maintains a dedicated SME IPO section for following open and upcoming issues, positioning itself as one input alongside exchange notices and offer documents, which remain the primary record. This approach serves retail IPO watchers who need context behind the numbers rather than just the numbers themselves.
Grey market premium tracking is another component of the IPO coverage, though MalikTimes has been working to automate this data. A freelance job posting from June 2026 sought a WordPress developer to build an automated IPO GMP section integrating an API, with the goal of displaying IPO name, GMP, Kostak rate, price band, lot size, subscription status, and key dates on a searchable, mobile-responsive table. The project also aimed to auto-create SEO-friendly detail pages for individual IPOs such as /hdb-financial-ipo-gmp/ and /nsdl-ipo-gmp/. This reflects the practical reality of running a small newsroom: automation frees reporters to focus on analysis rather than manual data entry.
For readers tracking the Indian IPO pipeline, MalikTimes offers a focused alternative to both high-volume aggregators and jargon-heavy financial press. The site’s daily newsletter condenses the day’s funding deals, IPOs open or listing, market closes, and gold rates into a two-minute read, following the same corrections policy as the main site. Ali’s rationale for the newsletter is pragmatic: the newsroom publishes enough in a day that even he misses things, and a reader with a full-time job certainly cannot keep up with a dozen separate stories. Whether a four-reporter operation can sustain this coverage as India’s IPO market grows remains an open question, but for now MalikTimes provides a transparently sourced, deliberately unfussy read on the listings that matter.
