Elon Musk's wealth soars past $300 billion as Tesla shares climb on the back of Trump's election win
Medial

Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $300 billion, making him the wealthiest person in the world. His fortune has increased by $50 billion since November 5th, largely due to the stock market gains of Tesla following Trump's election win. Tesla's stock has risen by 28% in just a week, reaching a trillion-dollar market valuation. Analysts believe that Trump's win could benefit Tesla further, as the company has an advantage over competitors when it comes to potential changes in tax credits and incentives for electric vehicles. Additionally, Musk's ventures like SpaceX could benefit from large contracts with the Department of Defense during Trump's second term.

**IPO-bound boAt elevates Gaurav Nayyar as CEO** Nayyar, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer, steps into the CEO role at a time when boAt has returned to profitability and received regulatory clearance for its much-awaited IPO. Imagine Marketing, the parent company of boAt, has elevated Gaurav Nayyar to Chief Executive Officer as the company gears up for its next stage of growth and a public listing. Nayyar brings more than two decades of strategic and operational experience, including eight years as a partner at Bain & Company before joining boAt three years ago. Together with the founding team, he has helped drive the company’s operational execution and business performance. Co-founder Sameer Mehta, who led boAt as CEO in recent years, will now focus on long-term strategy as Executive Director. Co-founder Aman Gupta will retain his role as Non-Executive Director. The leadership change comes on the back of boAt's strong performance in FY25, as the company posted a net profit of Rs 60 crore compared to a loss of Rs 74 crore in the previous year. This turnaround was driven by cost control, resilient audio product sales, and growth in international markets, despite a contraction in its wearables division. boAt's total revenue for FY25 stood at Rs 3,098 crore, of which India contributed the majority, and international revenue grew 44 percent year on year. boAt is now set to become the first Indian D2C electronics brand to go public after receiving SEBI’s approval for its IPO. The upcoming public offer is expected to raise Rs 2,000 crore, with a fresh issue component of Rs 900 crore, and places the company’s valuation near Rs 13,000 crore, as per reports.

Exclusive: Droom India raises funds at $360 Mn valuation IPO-bound used car marketplace Droom is raising Rs 25 crore (approximately $2.9 million) in a fresh funding round co-led by India Accelerator (IA), and Rameshchandra Shah. The board at Droom has passed a special resolution to issue 15,62,500 preference shares at an issue price of Rs 160 each to raise Rs 25 crore or $2.9 million, its regulatory filings sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. India Accelerator and Shah both will invest Rs 5 crore each, Shirish Patel, CEO of Prudent Corporate Advisory (wealth management company) will invest Rs 3 crore and the remaining amount will be invested by other individual investors. The firm will use these proceeds for general corporate purposes, the filings said. As per Entrackr’s estimates, the Gurugram-based firm will be valued at approximately Rs 3,097 crore or $360 million post-allotment. “We deliberately kept the valuation very low for the Indian subsidiary as a strategic move to give material upside to Indians who did not have opportunity to participate in the making of Droom in the past one decade,” said Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder and CEO of Droom, in response to queries about the company's valuation. “We plan to raise a bit more capital in the near term at much higher valuation both in Singapore and India…” Droom is an online marketplace for buying and selling used vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and electric vehicles. It also offers rental services. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Droom has raised approximately $330 million from investors including 57 Stars, Seven Train Ventures, Lightbox, and Beenext. Droom reported Rs 85 crore in revenue for FY24, a 66% decline from Rs 253 crore in FY23. It managed to reduce its losses by 35% to Rs 40 crore in FY24. Droom is reportedly planning to file draft papers for a Rs 1,000 crore IPO in 2027, targeting a valuation between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion.
