This is a classic example of a company that will undergo major disruption - Let's see how they adapt to the change!

Valuations seem priced in with 2.4x P/S as many ancillaries are available at 1x price to sales or below it even!

Thanks for reading! Happy weekend :)

We have exploited the Earth's natural resources

Polymetallic nodules are considered a future resource due to their high concentrations of valuable metals

A thread on this alternate source that has the power to quench Humanity's material thirst for resources -
1/n

The story goes back to HMS Challenger and some strange-looking potato-sized lumps she dredged up from the bottom of the Pacific a century and a half ago

These dark, slightly crumbly stones, smooth on the top, rough on the bottom, later became known as polymetallic nodules Image
2/n

The most famous region is the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and Mexico.

It’s estimated to hold: Over 21 billion tonnes of nodules - Enough to supply battery metals for hundreds of millions of EVs Image

~1,200 families from Madhapar reside abroad, primarily in African countries, contributing significantly to the village's wealth through remittances

The biggest winner in the Ather IPO is IIT-Madras Incubation Cell (IITMIC)!

IITMIC + IITMS Rural holds 15.58 L shares in Ather, valued at 50 Cr!

Their cost is just 15- 29L (1 Rs considered for IITMIC, but could be lower too)

172x to 333x made in 11 years! That's amazing :) Image
Forget Shark Tank, the real startup story is unfolding at IIT Madras Incubation Cell (IITMIC) in the IIT Madras Research Park

It has an 80% success rate with Startups!

I was there for an Investing conclave by TIA in Feb 2024 - Image
Quick History –

- Started with a 400 Cr debt, returned 600 Cr (principal+interest)
- IITMIC didn’t take any grants as they wanted to experience and showcase to startups how to create a sustainable bootstrapped business – they grew from the ground up in a lean way! Image

Reliance’s Jamnagar Refinery is an engineering marvel

It is the World's most complex and largest integrated, single-site refinery

It was the largest industrial investment made by an Indian enterprise at a single location

Some amazing facts on this Refinery - Image
1/n

History –

Twenty-five years ago, on December 28, 1999, RIL launched its first refinery at Jamnagar

Overnight, this turned India from a fuel deficit nation to a self-sufficient one and later into a surplus, exporting gasoline and gasoil to Europe and the US

Img - BS Image
2/n

It wasn’t so easy!

When RIL first spoke of it, experts said that it would be impossible for an Indian company to set up the world's largest grassroots refinery in 3 years. RIL did it in a world-record time of 33 months!

Lack of infra and a severe cyclone also hit Jamnagar Image
