Should investors be concerned about promoter exits?

Promoter selling in the Indian stock market during the first half of 2024 has reached the second-highest level. About half of the selling is done by private equity players. Large-scale transactions mainly consist of strategic sales and compliance-related sales. Furthermore, promoter selling has intensified in smaller companies. Analysts consider insider activity as a crucial indicator, as promoter buying suggests potential undervaluation or positive growth prospects.

Why your returns from your mutual fund investment are different from the MF’s returns shown in the factsheet, on online platforms - The Economic Times

Mutual fund investor Saurabh Sharma is concerned about NAV dips and return discrepancies between fact sheets and online platforms. This issue arises from differences in standardized fund performance and individual returns. Investors should focus on long-term fund evaluations rather than short-term volatility. Fact sheet returns use standard time frames, not matching individual holding periods. By comparing fund performances with peers over time, investors can better judge whether to stay or switch holdings.

Elon Musk can’t sue his way to AI breakthroughs, Vinod Khosla says

Khosla stated in an interview that he is not concerned about Microsoft's stake in the company and believes that the US should focus on developing AI rapidly, as it is a competitive field. He argues that AI should not be open-sourced and calls for tighter control similar to that of nuclear technology for national security reasons.

Ola Electric promoter pledges 2.43% stake to secure debt for Krutrim

Ola Electric promoter pledges 2.43% stake to secure debt for Krutrim Krutrim has raised approximately $75 million and joined the unicorn club in January 2024. Its investors include Z47 (formerly Matrix), the Sarin Family, and others. Ola Electric’s promoter has pledged 10.71 crore shares, or 2.43% of the company’s equity capital, to raise funds for Krutrim Data Centre, according to a stock exchange filing. The pledged shares account for 8.09% of the promoter’s holdings in the EV maker. The pledge, created in favour of Axis Trustee Services on behalf of Avendus, InCred, and India Credit Opportunities funds, replaces an earlier non-disposal undertaking (NDU) disclosed in December 2024 and March 2025. Ola said the NDU over these shares will be released once the pledge process is completed. The development comes months after the expiry of lock-in over a portion of promoter shares under SEBI’s listing rules. Krutrim has raised approximately $75 million and joined the unicorn club in January 2024. Its investors include Z47 (formerly Matrix), the Sarin Family, and others. Krutrim was reportedly in talks to raise $300 million in a new funding round. However, the company denied it officially. Last week, Krutrim laid off around 50 employees from its linguistics team in its third round of job cuts since June. In total, more than 200 employees have left the company so far this year, including leadership exits. Krutrim’s AI products, including Krutrim Cloud and its large language model offerings, have yet to gain traction due to technology gaps. Meanwhile, the firm is working on its largest language model, Krutrim 3, which will be a multibillion-parameter model. Disclaimer: Bareback Media has recently raised funding from a group of investors. Some of the investors may directly or indirectly be involved in a competing business or might be associated with other companies we might write about.

Google vs startups game makes RMG platforms interested

Online real-money gaming companies in India are concerned about the impact of Google's service fees, which are set to be implemented in June. The 15-30% fee, along with a 28% goods and services tax, is seen as unsustainable for businesses in the industry. Companies are considering various options to mitigate the impact, but delisting from the Play Store, which provides access to a large mobile gaming population in India, may not be a viable solution. Critics argue that the fee is unfair for an industry still trying to establish itself and that Google should instead support growth in the sector.
