Hey Guys!
Have you ever watched business show Shark Tank India?
If so, you might be familiar with brilliant and beautiful Namita Thapar who is known for her frequent use of the word ‘expertise.’ Thapar is quite selective when it comes to investing in companies on Shark Tank India. But you might be wondering why we are talking about Namita Thapar instead of Emcure Pharmaceuticals. After all when you invest, you are investing in company not just person. So, let’s get to know this personality who is key pillar behind Emcure Pharmaceuticals.
If you are a regular in stock market you might have heard about Emcure’s IPO and may be you have invested in it, making a profit.
But before we dive into Emcure Pharma’s share analysis, let’s explore some interesting facts about one of the company’s strongest pillars, Namita Thapar.
But do you know Namita Thapar is not founder of this company but still she is in buzz? And The Visionary Founder’s has Silent Strength?
Namita Thapar is more in buzz compared to Satish Mehta lies of nature of their public personas and roles within company. Namita Thapar’s role as an investor on popular television show Shark Tank India has boosted her public profile. Her presence on this show has made her household name, especially among young entrepreneurs and general audience. Namita Thapar maintains an active presence on social media platforms engaging with broad audience through posts, videos and interactive sessions. This keeps her in public eye and allows her to directly connect with her followers.
Ms. Thapar held over 63 lakh shares or 3.5%, of this Pune based pharmaceutical company as of March 2024. With an investment of ₹2.18 crore Namita Thapar acquired Emcure shares at an average price of ₹3.44 per share. She stands to gain remarkable 293 fold return on her initial investment.
In contrast, Satish Mehta’s foundational work and behind the scenes leadership, while equally important, do not attract the same level of public and media attention. Satish Mehta tends to maintain lower profile in the media. Starting the company in 1981 with a with bank loan of ₹3 lakh and now leading it to global recognition involves years of strategic planning, dedication and hard work. His leadership style is more reserved and focused on the internal operations and strategic direction of company rather than public appearances or media engagements.
