Hello Sir,

Hope you are doing well.

Do you know what PPE is?

It’s personal protective equipment. The below image will make it clear.

 

In this mail, we have shared notes from the Q2 FY 25 concall of Mallcom (India) which is one of the largest manufacturers and distributor of PPE in India. It also does private label manufacturing for large global customers.

The management is targeting 1,000 crore sales by FY 28 or before.

 

Before that: On 18th Jan’25, we released a new stock recommendation under Insider Bets subscription which is based on Promoters’ actions.

Promoter is basically infusing capital and increasing stake when the stock is down 60% from peak. You can read the details HERE
