World Bank Group's International Finance Corporation has returned as an anchor investor in India's mainboard IPO market after a gap of five years, investing Rs 20 crore in IPO-bound Molbio Diagnostics. The Goa-based point-of-care diagnostics company raised Rs 281 crore from anchor investors on Friday ahead of its public issue, which opens for subscription on August 10 and closes on August 12.
