In India an IPO has a whole new meaning due to so many Indians pooping anywhere on the streets, railroad tracks and on the beaches.
This IPO has nothing to do with selling company stocks for the first time as in "Initial Public Offering".
It means, "Indians Poop Outside", which is definitely could also be considered an "Indian Public Offering".

John: What was that Indian doing on the beach with his pants down?
Patel: Oh that! That is normal, that was an IPO.
John: What? He was not selling stocks?
Patel: Don't laugh, we are all geniuses.
John: Oh yeah! I am sure for Indian logic an "Indian Pooping Outside" also means "Indian Public Offering".

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

Initial Public Offering - IPO
The first sale of stock by a private company to the public. IPOs are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately-owned companies looking to become publicly traded.
In an IPO, the issuer obtains the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps it determine what type of security to issue (common or preferred), best offering price and time to bring it to market.
Also referred to as a "public offering".
