How do I buy unlisted shares here?

Raise an enquiry on any company with the quantity you want. Our desk sources the shares and comes back with a firm price and allocation. You accept the allocation, transfer the funds to the desk's published bank account, and once we verify payment the shares are transferred into your demat.

How do I pay, and is there a payment gateway?

Payment is by direct bank transfer to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622), shown to you in-app at the payment step. There is no card gateway and no escrow. Never pay to a personal account or to any account shared over phone, WhatsApp or email — even if the person claims to be from our team.

How long does settlement take?

After you accept an allocation, you have a short window to pay (typically 2 days). Once payment is verified, shares are usually credited to your demat within 2–3 business days, subject to depository timelines and any company-level restrictions. Timeframes are typical, not guaranteed.

There are no separate platform fee lines and no GST on the transfer — the desk's margin is built into the buy/sell price you're quoted. The only statutory add-on on a purchase is stamp duty on the consideration, shown transparently in your cost breakdown.

Is there a minimum ticket size?

Minimums vary by company and depend on the lot the desk can source. Raise an enquiry and the desk will confirm the available quantity and the minimum for that name.

What KYC do I need, and do I need a demat account?

You'll share your demat details when you enquire so we can settle directly. Full KYC — PAN and a client-master / demat statement — is required before the transfer step, when shares actually change hands. Yes, you need an active demat account to hold unlisted shares.

Are there lock-ins on unlisted or pre-IPO shares?

Some shares carry statutory or company-imposed lock-ins — for example, a post-listing lock-in on pre-IPO stock — and transfers can be subject to the company's articles or approvals. Where a lock-in applies, we'll flag it before you commit.

How do I sell shares I already hold?

Raise a sell enquiry with the company, quantity and your target price. The desk confirms a buying price, you transfer your shares into the desk's demat, and once the credit is verified we pay you out by bank transfer to your registered account. The desk never pays out before your shares are received.

Unlisted shares are illiquid, may be hard or impossible to sell, and are not covered by exchange settlement guarantees or investor-protection funds. Pricing is indicative, not live. Read the full Risk Disclosure before you enquire, and invest only what you can afford to lock away.

Back to marketplace

A principal desk for unlisted and pre-IPO shares.

wisefolio's unlisted desk is operated by Prospire Network Private Limited (CIN U82300UP2025PTC233622). We are the counterparty on every trade: when you buy, you buy from the desk; when you sell, you sell to the desk. Shares always route through the desk's own demat account, so you never have to find or trust a stranger on the other side.

Operating entity

Legal name: Prospire Network Private Limited

How we operate

We are the counterparty

You transact with the desk, not with an anonymous seller or buyer. That means one accountable party, one bank account, and one point of contact for the whole trade.

Money-in before shares-out

On a buy, your payment is verified before shares move to your demat. On a sell, your shares are credited to the desk before any payout. The desk never advances money against shares it hasn't received.

One published bank account

Every payment goes to Prospire Network Private Limited's published account — shown to you in-app at the payment step. We will never ask you to pay a personal account.

Transparent, indicative pricing

Prices are indicative and dated. The number you pay is the one confirmed on your allocation, not a stale screen price.
