Geopolitics and foreign policy are amoral. Not immoral, mind you, but amoral. When even what's considered 'human ethics' (the Princess Latifa episode is a very minor example of this) is a mere instrument in the pursuit of those goals, 'business ethics' is just a matter of convenience, at this level.

Good. The US recognises the geopolitical significance of the situation. Though given how multiple factions/actors are involved within the US, the statement by the said US official is very smartly worded. Most people who bought into the allegations against Adani wholesale, without an iota of...

It's always negotiated with the seller on Alibaba, depending upon what you buy and how much of it . Whatever price they do mention, is for info's sake. That said, the price he got indeed was quite cheap. And my mobile phone box-sized (400gm) parcel couldn't escape custom duty on both occasions...

Try Alibaba.

Well said. Also, Adani and Ambani are second to none in terms of execution speed/efficiency. That capability along with sheer ambition is why GoI prefers to use them towards it strategic goals. This is something that China does too with its PSUs, but it's also a function of their PSU's war chest...

To the conditioner shaving con of not knowing which areas you've shaved/not shaved, I haven't faced it in the dozen or so times I've done it. And I shave the head, btw, with the first pass just involving tracking using my other hand's fingers. The handheld mirror only comes in for the second...

These binary arguments aren't immutable laws of physics that scale with size. This is precisely what I mean by simplistic points that fail to take into account variables that I and blr_p are talking about. Instead, the burden of providing the proof seems to be entirely on Adani, with no...

What's the price and power consumption difference between the 4- and 5-star models? Also, regarding the warranty, this is on the compressor only. So, 10 or 20 years , shouldn't make much of a difference in your buying decision. Lastly, Sammy or LG are fine. Don't sweat this one too much...

+1 to all suggestions to buy a single-door. But OP, your electricity bills must be crazy. I remember after dumping my 2003 Sammy double-door with a similar capacity 4-star 2021 inverter model from the same brand, the monthly electricity bill fell by half and the fridge's price was paid back...

I was wondering about your binary thinking on this issue, as in who's right, who's wrong, why don't they prove themselves right et al! This assumption takes the Hindenburg report at face value and places the burden of proving them wrong on Adani. Nonsense, if you ask me. As is the doomsday...

This is the tacit support I'm referring to. Not that this govt is a stooge of Adani/Ambani, rather the govt is using them towards it strategic ends. Which is a plausible enough reason for not ascribing entirely altruistic motives to Hindenburg's shorting. Question everyone and everything.

Not sure how this segued into what caused the fall when I was referring to what, why, and how Adani's response to Hindenburg needs to be, especially as you consider that as the litmus test of the former's integrity. In Dec '22 for Adani Ent, FPIs owned a tad over 15% with DIIs at 5-6% and...

Disagree mate. The PR damage wiped off those billions off of Adani stocks. Institutional investors have largely stayed put and if not overtly supportive, haven't joined in the sell-off. I also don't see Adani having any trouble raising more money locally. That support by banks and...

You do realise this is a battle of PR, right? Not a legal battle where the court needs to be convinced of Adani's case, where the question of right or wrong comes in. Adani has already lost the perception battle with its poor handling of the allegations. They probably realise this. The group's...

Adani handled this very poorly from a PR point of view. I don't see any way for them to tide over this except to actually tide over this.

Not at all, most of the things we do on this forum can be classified as an 'unproductive spend of time'. No need to feel sorry for anyone. To borrow a line from Ted Lasso, it helps to be curious, not judgmental. I've learned much more since adopting that attitude, instead of seeing things in...

C'mon Eddy, what's with this 'gotcha' kind of post :D But if the retail investor's wealth is the primary concern of this thread, I'd say Adani is in a much better position than something such as, say, Reliance Power. I'd even go so far as to say now that they've become this big, they fall...

UPA or NDA, it's been a long-term dream of mine for India to grow rich enough to be able to buy out such people. Media, policymakers, think-tanks, what have you. China does it brilliantly and as a result, they've got an excellent and sustainable narrative-building capacity. Which is why it was a...

Multiple players, each jostling for a leg-up in the amoral, cutthroat world of geopolitics, as it should be. In India's case, these players (and their antics) are happily lapped up by our in-house useful idiots (not referring to any member here, please). I have absolutely no dog in this fight...

Glad that you clarified because I understood your usage of that term in its original meaning and was in awe that you'd mastered it :D. I have a shavette/straight-edge razor too and took a while to get the hang of it; it still isn't something I use regularly, more of a leisurely indulgence. The...
