During the past decade of investing in Indian stock markets, I have came across many instances of corporate "misadventures" through my own experiences and interactions with fellow investors over blogs, forums and social media.
For new investors coming to the Indian markets, it is often important to not to repeat some of the mistakes of the past and pay costly tuition fees in the process. I have refrained from adding any personal comments and used only public sources here - for obvious reasons, as the readers might well understand.
This list is no way exhaustive, but goes on to gives one a glimpse of the extent of "misadventures" possibly present and to understand - what not to choose in our investment picks.
As you read through these, do let me know other similar stories where you were either impacted by or was able to safely navigate out of.
Happy investing!
