IPO is the best way to Unlock Business Value of your company; DeSilva put more focus on business valuation post SME-IPO.

Further he added that, promoters of these SME always felt a threat of losing their control over their company, but the fact is there is nothing like that, its misconception, Clifton shared his experience that, if the SME gets listed, there is a possibility of four to five fold growth of a company, promoters should look at the advantages of getting listed. This facilitates an Easy Entry to go to the main board in the later stages of the growth. The enterprise should unlock their business values by getting themselves listed, which is very crucial for their own growth, he concluded on this note.
