Difference in interpretation, just think of it this way. Suppose you’re a Japanese MNC, availing discovery services from Syngene (first tentacle), the molecule subsequently progresses to the second stage i.e. the development (2nd tentacle). The MNC is very lucky and the molecule
Is commercialised. Syngene helps you in manufacturing too (3rd tentacle). Low cost acts as another tentacle as average salary of an Indian scientist is $60,000 vs $250,000 in Usa. You help in cutting costs by 40-50%. The rest of the tentacles help in supplementing the platform
Just like an octopus who uses tentacles to catch prey, Syngene is using its platform to mine the client
Just a different interpretation of Octopus model, always open to feedback. Thank you for having a different opinion, helped us to explain this in depth :)
The way it also works, clients usually start with very low value added service (another tentacle) (Fee for service mostly) and subsequently the business is scaled from there or not. Reason why they get more revenues from old customers as more and more value is added evetually

Decoding the Sovereign Gold Bond Saga: A Comprehensive Thread on India's Gold Investment Evolution🪙
Launched in 2015 by the Government of India, the Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme provides a novel way for investors to own gold without the hassle of physical possession. The scheme aims to channelize idle gold into productive avenues and reduce the dependency on physical gold. #sgb
If you're looking for a comprehensive comparison of various gold investments (GOLD ETFs vs PHYSICAL GOLD vs SGB) before delving into this detailed thread on Sovereign Gold Bonds, you can check out the previous post on - GOLD INVESTMENT OPTIONS () Let’s unroll the thread 🧵🧵
🌟 Key Features of SGB:⭐
1. Issued by RBI for the Government of India :
SGBs are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on behalf of the Government of India, ensuring credibility and government backing.
2. Denominated in Grams, Flexible Investment :
SGBs are denominated in grams of gold, allowing investors to start with a minimum investment of 1 gram and go up to a maximum of 4 kg per fiscal year for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs).
3. Fixed Interest Rate - 2.5% Per Annum 📈:
SGBs carry a fixed annual interest rate of 2.5%, payable semi-annually on the nominal value of the bond. Taxable as the slab rate of individuals.
4. Maturity and Exit Options 📅:
SGBs have a maturity period of 8 years, but investors can opt to exit after the fifth year on the interest payment dates.
5. Secondary Market Trading and Loan Collateral :
SGBs can be traded in the secondary market through stock exchanges, providing liquidity. Additionally, they can be used as collateral for loans, offering a unique dimension to their utility.
Let's dive into the performance of SGB (Sovereign Gold Bonds) over the years! 📈 The inaugural SGB came into existence in 2015, reaching maturity in 2023, completing a 8-year cycle. 🎉
When it was first issued in 2015, the rate stood at ₹2684/1gm. Fast forward to November 2023, and the issue rate had climbed to ₹6199/1gm. As an illustrative example, let's consider a gold purchase of 5 grams, equivalent to an investment of ₹13,420 at the time of the initial issue. Fast forward to the present, and with the current issue rate, that same 5 grams of gold is now valued at ₹30,995.0. 💰
Now we will calculate XIRR for the whole 8 yrs and surprising revelation as we calculate the for 8-year period, considering the semi-annual interest of 2.5%( which was ₹167.75 every 6 months) 🔄. See Below ⬇️⬇️
The XIRR for this period comes out to be 12.81%! ✨

Many people are confused about Elecon's results, and don't know what caused the sudden fall in stock price.
In this thread I will teach you how to read results correctly with the example of Elecon.
🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
There are two ways to look at Quarterly results:-
1. YoY= Year on year comparison means that we are comparing Q4FY23 with Q4FY22
2. QoQ= Quarter on Quarter comparison means that we are comparing Q4FY23 with Q3FY23. This is also known as sequential growth.
Second thing to be careful of while looking at the results of the company:-
1. Always prefer to look at Consolidated results, as this will include all the subsidiaries of the business. And give the correct overall picture of the business performance.
Do you know why the Debt to Equity of companies like Titan, Jubilant Food Works, Apollo Hospitals, has gone up significantly in the last few years?
This is due to the accounting change in leases which a retail investor must know.
Let's delve deeper to understand the cause 👇👇
It is due to Ind AS 116, which defines the accounting treatment for leases
Previously leases were treated as monthly rent expenses and charged to P&L in other expenses but post the applicability of Ind AS 116 there has been a drastic change in the books of accounts for companies
Leases now have to be shown in a company's balance sheet as both an asset and a liability. This affects the company's debt-to-equity ratio.
The liability for the lease is calculated as the current value of all the payments the company will make during the lease.
