SpaceX’s initial public offering is well oversubscribed, according to people familiar with the matter, as demand builds for a potentially record-setting debut.Banks leading the offering by Elon Musk’s rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company are expected to stop taking orders from institutional investors on Wednesday after the market closes in New York at 4 p.m., some of the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. Closing the order books gives banks time to gauge demand ahead and advise the company on pricing. SpaceX’s IPO is expected to price June 11 and trade the following day. The company is offering 555.6 million shares at $135 each, which would raise about $75 billion, and value it at about $1.8 trillion.Retail investors can still submit orders for SpaceX shares on some platforms beyond the Wednesday deadline. The company is allocating as much as 30% of the offering to retail, Bloomberg News has reported.Also Read | US stocks: Alphabet taps Intel to make three million in-house chips: ReportA spokesperson for SpaceX didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company has disclosed new sources of revenue in recent weeks, emphasizing its AI clout. On Friday, SpaceX announced a deal with Alphabet Inc.’s Google that would see the Gemini AI model maker pay $920 million a month as part of a cloud services agreement set to run through 2029. It previously disclosed a similar pact with Anthropic PBC.The company formally known as Space Exploration Technologies Corp. expects to make its debut on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas under the symbol SPCX.

Every federal budget is a stark reminder of how much Pakistan’s federal government is unable to spend within its means. Therefore, the burden to keep fiscal balance somewhat manageable falls on the same few sacrificial lambs, typically the formal sector in terms of collection and development needs for expenditure. Troublesome as it may be, the country’s gross public debt ratio of 70 per cent is not outrageously high by developing economy standards. However, one big problem is its concentration: over the past decade, commercial banks have held the bulk of the federal government’s debt. Of Pakistan’s Rs54.5 trillion in domestic debt, the bulk sits in marketable instruments, worth Rs46.6tr; of that, scheduled banks hold Rs36.8tr, or 79pc. Insurers account for under 5pc, mutual and pension funds for about 6pc, and a catch-all bucket of “corporates and others” for the rest. This makes the bank-sovereign nexus extreme by global standards. A World Bank analysis from the end of 2024 put Pakistani banks’ public-debt holdings at roughly 60pc of total assets, four times the global median and the highest in a sample of over 80 countries. As a result, the effect on credit activity has been highly detrimental, with the industry’s advances-to-deposits ratio hovering below 40pc and the share of small and medium enterprises barely 10pc of private-sector loans. Shift even a tenth of the Rs54tr domestic stock out of banks and into retail hands at a yield just 150 basis points cheaper, and the annual saving runs into the region of Rs80bn Since the two balance sheets of banking and sovereign are wound so tightly together, the relationship has curdled into something toxic. The government borrows from banks, taxes the profits from that borrowing, and banks push money away rather than put it to work. Somewhere in this loop, both the depositor and the real economy have been forgotten. When 79pc of the outstanding paper sits with a small club of institutional buyers, those buyers carry real pricing power into every auction; a market with retail savers, pension funds, insurers and foreign buyers each holding a meaningful slice generates competitive tension that bears down on yields, and a bank-dominated one simply does not. The institutional money that would normally provide that tension, chiefly the insurers, is too small to matter: at roughly 0.9pc of GDP against about 4pc in India, the entire sector’s asset base is smaller than a single year of government borrowing. That leaves retail, and on paper, the case for it is compelling. There are already millions of Pakistanis lending to the state through the old National Savings Schemes, currently holding Rs3.6tr. This segment has historically accepted lower yields than banks for the same sovereign credit, so widening the base could also trim the debt-servicing bill. A new policy InsightLab at the Karachi School of Business & Leadership, Karachi, argues that despite new instruments and platforms, the set of creditors holding Pakistan’s debt has barely changed over the past seven years. Banks still hold the vast majority. The new channels changed how the debt is sold, but not who buys it. Shift even a tenth of the Rs54tr domestic stock, some Rs5.5tr, out of banks and into retail hands at a yield just 50 to 150 basis points cheaper, and the annual saving runs into the region of Rs25bn to 80bn. This would make a noticeable difference to the debt-servicing bill, which has become the single largest line in the budget and only compounds each year. There is a structural prize too. Banks gravitate toward short-term and floating-rate paper, largely because their liability mix forces them to do so. Pakistani banks hold hardly any fixed deposits, just Rs6.1tr out of Rs37.3tr, so they cannot comfortably warehouse long, fixed exposure. A genuine retail base anchored by long-dated household savings would take on the very tenor the banks shy away from, easing the rollover risk that the current profile does nothing to address. For a government desperate to rein in its largest expenditure line, retail is the rare lever that lowers both cost and risk at once. But the question is: how does the sovereign reach this segment? Historically, that answer was National Savings, though it is not without shortcomings. Its rates are set by administrative fiat in discrete steps, so they lag the market. This is attractive to savers when rates fall, but it is a structure that works against the state’s own objectives, is untradable, capped at Rs5 million, and is pitched more as quasi-social security for widows and retirees than as a serious financing tool. The second route runs through the capital markets by issuing Sukuk directly at the Pakistan Stock Exchange. But this has fared no better at changing who holds the paper. Since December 2023, the government has auctioned Ijarah Sukuk through the exchange to dazzling headline demand, yet the paper is fully Statutory Liquidity Requirement-eligible, individuals cannot bid directly when fewer than 1pc of citizens hold a brokerage account, and banks still end up holding close to 90pc of the stock. Third is the diaspora channel, the Roshan Digital Account, and truly the one relative win: over 927,000 accounts opened and more than $12.7bn received since 2020, though Naya Pakistan Certificates, the debt instrument inside it, have never crossed 2pc of government external debt. The newest effort tries to fix the access problem at its root. Investor Portfolio Securities (IPS) accounts have long let individuals hold government paper in principle, but in practice, the channel meant branch visits, manual forms, and bank staff with little incentive to promote it, so few ever used it. The State Bank of Pakistan’s InvestPak portal, launched in November 2025, builds on that plumbing and strips out the friction. It does so by allowing individuals to open an IPS account, bid at auction, and trade securities entirely online. In theory, it is the most promising of the lot, with one catch: the access still routes through bank-maintained IPS accounts, the very institutions with no commercial reason to usher retail investors toward an asset class they would rather keep for themselves. India faced the same problem and took a different route. Its RBI Retail Direct scheme, launched in 2021, lets individuals hold government bonds in an account directly with the central bank, cutting out banks. If there is a single fix worth making, it is to stop flying blind. Pakistan now runs several parallel retail channels and publishes consolidated data on none of them, so nobody can actually say whether the needle is moving. The holder-wise statistics do not even carry a separate line for individual investors. The rest follows from there: a genuinely retail-sized product rather than the Rs100,000 minimum tickets that pass for one today, and an honest decision on whether to keep routing retail through the banks or, as India did, around them. None of this pays off in a single budget. But the concentration did not build itself overnight either, and years of inaction cannot be undone in days. After seven years of new instruments, the holder of last resort is still the bank. It will stay that way until the state builds something savers can actually use and a route that doesn’t run through the institutions it is trying to move beyond.

Can the search for a hotel room lead to a business idea? It did, for Alok Mishra.In 2014, during a trip with his wife, Mishra needed a hotel room for six hours as he did not want to drive late at night. But he was asked to pay for a full day and subjected to a series of intrusive questions despite being married—and was finally refused a room. “That got me thinking that there might be travellers like me who need rooms only for a few hours but have to pay for an entire day. Later, while working in the US, I came across pay-for-use concepts and felt that India needed a more flexible, customer-friendly model,” he says.That experience led to the launch of Bag2Bag in 2019, an online platform for booking hotels, service apartments, homestays and other accommodations, with a focus on hourly stays.The business started gaining momentum around 2021. Bag2Bag’s hourly-stay revenue has risen from roughly Rs 50 lakh in 2021 to Rs 5-6 crore today. The company has served more than 1 lakh customers, lists over 10,000 properties across India and offers hourly stays at 6,000-7,000 of them. The service is available in more than 50 cities, though Bengaluru and Mumbai remain its strongest markets.Also read | The safe keepers: Inside India's booming locker economy“People now understand that this is a practical solution rather than a niche service. One of our biggest achievements has been to help normalise the category. Earlier, hourly stays were often associated with couples seeking privacy,” he says. “We deliberately broadened the use case by allowing family bookings, including travellers with children. We wanted people to see hourly stays for what they really are— a convenient accommodation option.”HOUR OF NEED That convenience is growing as online hotel booking platforms that allow short stays are on the rise. Alongside Bag2Bag, there is Noida-based Brevistay, Bengaluruheadquartered MiStay, Mumbai’s Hourly Rooms and Qwiksta, all specialising in micro stays. Larger travel platforms like MakeMyTrip, Agoda and Goibibo have also introduced hourly booking options.Like Bag2Bag, Brevistay was born out of a travel inconvenience. In 2016, cofounders Prateek Singh, Aditya Naithani, Shubham Agarwal, Avnish Kumar and Nikhil Pathak arrived in Manali at 5 am only to find that hotels would not allow early check-ins without charging for an extra night. The friends went on to cofound the travel tech startup Brevistay, which raised Rs 3 crore in 2023 and today reports revenue of about Rs 18 crore. It has 15 lakh registered users, 4 lakh monthly active users and around 11,000 listed hotels, including brands such as Ginger, Ramada and Blue Motel.LONG JOURNEY Getting there, however, was not easy.Pathak, cofounder and chief technology officer of Brevistay, says, “The challenge in this segment is not customers but hotels. In 2016, many hoteliers would simply bang the phone on us. Some agreed in principle but didn’t want their properties listed publicly and preferred bookings to come through offline calls. It took us nearly two years before we started seeing meaningful traction and recurring bookings,” says Pathak.The same resistance greeted MiStay when it launched in 2016. Starting with a pilot in Delhi, MiStay has since expanded to more than 100 cities. Shwetha Sameernath, general manager, business and growth, MiStay, says, “When we launched, scepticism was high. Most hotels were uncomfortable with the model, concerned about guest quality and operational challenges. Over time, that changed as hotels began seeing it as a revenue opportunity.”MiStay tackled resistance through education and curation. The company worked to show hoteliers that short stays served a broad and legitimate market of business travellers, transit passengers and day-use guests. It also selectively onboarded premium hotel brands, helping build credibility for the category. “When hotels see actual customer segments across varied, legitimate use cases, it builds their confidence that the model won’t compromise their brand,” says Sameernath, adding that the concept is now largely normalised.Also read | Major change in buyer behaviour as e-scooters race deeper into BharatPathak says the customer has evolved as well. Brevistay continues to market actively to couples, but he argues that the category should no longer be viewed through that lens. “There’s nothing illegal happening. In fact, there’s no law that prevents consenting adults from booking a hotel room. The issue was perception, not legality. What eventually changed minds was revenue,” he says. “Once hotels realised they could sell the same room multiple times in a day and generate seven or eight bookings instead of one, the business case became impossible to ignore.”The use cases have expanded too. Back in 2017, couples accounted for nearly 90% of Brevistay’s bookings. Today, that figure is down to 50-60%. Business travellers, transit passengers, tourists looking to freshen up between journeys, students travelling for exams and people attending interviews or meetings have all emerged as important customer segments.Hotels, meanwhile, have had to adapt operationally. Mishra says the biggest challenge is that traditional hotel system was never designed for flexible check-ins and check-outs. Bag2Bag addressed this by developing its own software platform for partner hotels. “Once they realised they could monetise idle inventory and generate additional revenue from rooms that would otherwise remain empty, adoption became much easier,” he says.REVENUE CHECKS IN For Sameernath, the turning point was the entry of premium hotel brands. “Today, acceptance has grown across the ecosystem. Channel managers and property management systems are evolving to support slot-based bookings, and customers increasingly treat hourly booking as the natural way to reserve a room for less than a day,” she says.Also read | Indian tourists go viral for all wrong reasons. Here's how not to become the next horror storyMishra has observed another interesting shift. Reliability and brand trust are becoming increasingly important. “Whether it’s a three-star or a five-star property, even if a branded hotel costs 20-25% more, customers prefer it because they know what they’re getting,” he says. The economics are compelling for hotels too. Sameernath points out that average hotel occupancy in India is under 65%, while daytime occupancy can fall to as low as 30% as guests check out in the morning and new arrivals come in much later. Platforms like MiStay help hotels monetise those idle hours by attracting guests who would never have booked a full-day room. “For hotels near airports or railway stations, the upside is even greater. A room priced at Rs 8,000 for a full night could earn Rs 3,500-4,000 for a daytime slot and another Rs 6,000 for the night—generating `10,000-plus from the same room in a single day,” she says.CHANGING PERCEPTION MiStay today works with brands like IHG, Pride, Ramada, The Park, Radisson and Novotel IHG, while Brevistay is in discussions with Hyatt. Sameernath says that on the demand side, once customers experience flexible booking, they don’t go back. Their repeat rate reflects this, as 48% of MiStay’s monthly business comes from repeat guests “The pay-per-use model in hospitality is the same transformation that happened in transport. You no longer book a cab for a full day; you pay for the distance. Hotels are heading the same way,” she says.Pathak believes the next wave of growth will be driven by younger travellers. “They’re vocal about spending time with their partners and don’t carry the hesitation earlier generations did. In metros, the industry has largely moved beyond the old perceptions, and hourly stays are increasingly viewed as a convenience product rather than something unusual.”The customer, it seems, has reached the destination. The hospitality industry needs to arrive.ChallengesPersistent social stigmaTrust and safety concernsBranded hotels worried about perceptionComplexities in managing multiple check-ins and check-outsLack of awareness among travellersOpportunitiesRise in domestic travel and frequent short tripsGrowth of bleisure (business + leisure) travelYounger consumers demanding flexibilityTech platforms making discovery and booking seamlessHotels looking to monetise vacant rooms
