Congrats. Lets see how it get listed on Monday. You can exit on listing day with good gains or can hold for 2-3 years
I also fell all of Anil's businesses are inflated in value and once the valuation game sells, he exits the business for a profit. Example of big cinemas, big FM, Big CBS, Reliance communications have all struggled and been sold as valuation stories and exited out of.
