Indian value investor who taught Behavioural Finance and Business Valuation as an adjunct professor at MDI Gurgaon. He writes the Fundoo Professor blog about investing, moats and mental models.
Apple's market cap was about $351–360 billion when Steve Jobs died. On September 1, 2026, Tim Cook's last day as CEO, it was $4.75 trillion. When Ballmer handed over to Satya Nadella in Feb 2014, Microsoft market cap was about $315B. It’s $3.7 trillion now. Similar outcome with Sam Walton and Wal-Mart. It went the other way with GE and Jack Welch. So, it cuts both ways, and I think the deciding factor is whether the underlying business quality, moat, and capital-allocation discipline survive the transition intact. Quoting @menakadoshi The events at HDFC Bank confirm two of my worst suspicions. One, celebrity founders and CEOs often leave behind a leadership vacuum. As the adage goes, nothing grows under a banyan tree. India is witnessing that more frequently as part of the great handover from post-liberalization leaders to the n… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
