When Promoters Bet on Their Own Company — We Bet With Them
Turnaround opportunities identified by tracking promoter actions — capital infusions, open market purchases, and preferential allotments during downturns.
"Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them only for one: they think the price will rise."
— Peter Lynch
Why Promoter Actions Matter More Than Analyst Opinions
Promoters know their company better than any analyst. When they invest their own money — especially during downturns — it's the strongest signal of conviction. We identify and research these opportunities for you.
Promoter Invests Their Own Money
We track promoters infusing capital into their companies through preferential allotments, or increasing their stake through open market purchases. This is real skin in the game — not just management commentary.
We Deep-Dive Into the Business
Not every promoter buy is worth following. We filter through corporate announcements, then conduct deep fundamental analysis — financials, industry cycle, management quality, and turnaround potential.

Detailed reports explaining the rationale, risks, expected timeline, and what we're watching for. Plus continuous updates, exit guidance, and important corporate announcement alerts via email and WhatsApp.
Asymmetric Payoff Over Time
Not all picks will work — that's the nature of turnarounds. But a diversified portfolio of 5-20 such bets creates asymmetric payoffs: winners can return 5x-10x or more while losses are bounded. A few big winners drive the portfolio.
Why Asymmetric Payoffs Work
A stock can go up 5x, 10x, or more — but can only lose 100%. When 2-3 big winners deliver 5x-10x returns, they more than compensate for 3-4 small losses. That's how long-term wealth is built. Our average holding period is 2-4 years.
What Happens When Promoters Bet Big
These charts tell the story better than words. When promoters invest their own money during downturns, it often precedes massive re-ratings that the market doesn't see coming.
Thomas Scott (India) Ltd
Board announced preferential allotment to promoters. Convertible warrants priced at ₹19. The promoter was betting big on the turnaround — the market hadn't noticed yet.
Himadri Specialty Chemical
After a 70%+ correction, promoters announced preferential allotment of warrants at ₹70 each. They were buying when everyone else was selling. The stock re-rated massively.
