Ever wondered how Rakesh Jhunjhunwala made Rs 46,000 crore from a humble Rs 5000? He made his First Investment in TATA Tea in 1985 and managed to Triple it up in the next 6 Months, but his BIG bet which helped him strike gold was his Investment in TITAN, he invested in Titan at a time when no one would have known it or would just ignore it. Titan in 2003 was priced at Rs 30-32 (today Rs 2750) and was in bad shape for multiple reasons. His family’s current holding in TITAN is worth nearly INR 11,000 Crore or one-fourth of his overall asset base of INR 40k+ Crore.
Apart from TITAN many of his other bets paid off, like AGRO TECH FOOD Ltd, Autoline Industries, BILCARE, and others. He was a trader as well and made a killing during Harshad Mehta Scam by shorting the markets. But Yes, his Wealth Builders were companies that he caught young at their initial growth stage. He never bought something which was mature and looked stable, rather took the risk to generate higher returns.
Going purely by numbers, the Journey from Rs 5000 to Rs 46,000 Crore in 37 years turns out to be a CAGR of an incredible 74.69%, which is extremely difficult to attain, so there is a good possibility that he did add fresh capital.
