Earlier, one weak business could hide behind a stronger one. That cushion is gone now. Five companies means five separate report cards. Every lender, every investor, every quarter - you are on your own. Some will thrive. Some will struggle. Dekhte hain. 👀

Some of these five are stepping out in great shape. Aluminium is a strong business and Hindustan Zinc basically prints money - unki toh life set hai. But the others are a different story. Vedanta Power had a serious accident that killed 13 workers and the plant is currently shut with no confirmed date to restart. Oil and Gas is sitting on reserves that are shrinking every year with no major new discoveries to replace them. And Iron and Steel is the youngest of the five, never having had to face investors, lenders, and the open market entirely on its own. Shayad Inke liye mushkil waqt aane wala hai.

Vedanta broke itself into five separate companies. - Aluminium - Oil & Gas - Power - Iron & Steel - And one holding Hindustan Zinc. Same empire, same businesses, same people running them - but now each one stands alone. Why would one of India's biggest conglomerates do this?

Trackk has raised $3.7 million in a seed funding round led by @LightspeedIndia , with participation from @InfoEdgeVC and investors including @gauravmunjal , @RomanSaini , @thetanmay , @waitin4agi_ and @gauravkapur The round marks an important step in Trackk’s journey to build for a generation of young Indians entering financial markets far earlier, and very differently, than previous generations. Today, a large part of investing discovery happens through creators, communities and digital platforms, yet most investing platforms still feel overly complex for first-time users. Trackk is building around that shift through AI-led stock discovery, personalised investing experiences and simplified market participation designed for Gen Z investors. We’re grateful to our investors for their trust, to our users for growing with us, and to the entire Trackk team. Still early. Still hungry. Still building.

In 2013, Wipro sold the Sunflower Vanaspati brand - the product the company was literally named after. Go-goa-gone… Not as a failure. As a recognition that two good businesses, when separated, can each become great ones. It's not the transformation that's impressive. It's the same instinct showing up, again and again. Every time the ground shifted, Wipro didn't ask "how do we protect this?" - they asked, "What does this create?" In short: Palm oil may have clogged a million arteries but hey, it accidentally built one of India's biggest tech empires. 🫀💻

1991. India liberalises. And "phirse" padharo maare desh - IBM. So does every major global tech firm. Wipro's home ground advantage? Gone. So they went outward instead. Western companies were cutting costs and needed reliable software partners. Now, India had the talent. Wipro, alongside TCS and Infosys, built that relationship into an industry. Tech revenue FY1996: ~₹600 Cr IT revenue FY2025: ₹89,000 Cr

Cooking Oil to Code - The WIPRO Story WIPRO stands for Western India Palm Refined Oils. A cooking oil company, founded in 1945. Today, ₹89,000 crore in IT revenue, clients in 50+ countries. Yes, a jar of cooking oil started this. One of the most remarkable business stories India has ever seen.

Something worth understanding about how Wipro made these bets. They never shut down the old business to start the new one. The oil business kept going as usual. And guess what? Santoor soap launched in 1985, right when Wipro was also trying to become a tech company. Multitasking at its finest 😁 Every "boring" business in the portfolio was quietly paying the bills for the risky new ideas. Basically, let your salary job fund your startup dream :)

In 1977, India changed its foreign investment rules. IBM refuses to comply and exits the country. IBM wasn't just some vendor. It WAS the entire computing market. Every office, every government, every machine that beeped - all IBM. When they left, there was no Plan B. Just a massive void where an entire industry used to be. Azim Premji saw that void and moved like it had his name on it. By 1981, Wipro had launched India's first indigenous personal computer - the same year the PC era was beginning globally.

Dalal street is testing our patience now! 😠

Tomorrow is a Settlement Holiday. But what does it actually mean ? You can still buy & sell stocks today. No changes there. But tomorrow? The system takes a day off. Your money won't land tomorrow Your shares won't hit your demat tomorrow Everything shifts to the next working day Think of it like online shopping, you placed the order today, but the delivery company is closed tomorrow, so delivery gets delayed by one day. Trading happens. Delivery waits. — Team Trackk 🚀

Bound 2 happen 🙏
