Delisting - Interesting Play

I have been involved in multiple delisting opportunities where I work closely with my friends Rohit Chauhan and Arpit Ranka.


Rohit had written on his blog about one of the delisting opportunities that we had analysed and were involved together. The company involved was Elantas Beck. The link to it is attached here

I had subsequently written a guest post on Rohit’s blog talking about the framework that is employed by us to look at evaluating delisting and other special situation opportunities. The link to that post is attached below.

Subsequent to these posts we also analysed / invested in the delisting of Micro Inks and I plan to put out a separate post on how this particular opportunity was evaluated and the returns it generated.
