@Nithin0dha Hi @Nithin0dha - Would like your comments on the SC verdict on RIL insider trading case from 2007 for trading in RPL.
Also the verdict of the Pyramid Saimira Case.
I hop this relates more to market integrity and #MarketManipulation than above case which directly affects ur Co
In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement.
The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware.
This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade.
Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us.
This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise.
There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it.
But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword.
The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic.
This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur.
While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher.
Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.
Will a Mutual Fund CEO now accept that ( she derisively called my screen shot article " click bait" then ) what I wrote 16 months ago about SIP flows providing easy exit liquidity to F2s, and thereby, creating a macro disaster - was correct and prescient?
We are now Fragile One, in a full blown FX crisis, primarily because of this , et al.
Ab to, even a broker is saying exactly the same thing, now.
It's perfectly okay to disagree with a perspective. But being derisive about it BECAUSE of your own enlightened self interest over the nation 's interest...
( BTW, I don't give a r@# s a#&s whether SIPs increase or decrease. I gain or lose nothing from it. I just analyse and predict based on what the tea leaves show me. Apna koi swaarth nahi)

Woman CEO, visited a university where a feminist girl suggested that she shall hire only women in her company.
The Lady CEO replied," We tried but it not worked. Girls are quite lazy. They are not good programmers. Most of them cheat and they don’t work hard. Boys work late to fix problems but girls don’t. And, we can not let the company suffer because of diversity hiring."
What to Say!
"The Gap between Private Banks and Public Sector Banks (PSBs) is narrowing in terms of valuation." says SBI Chairman, Shri Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, as he shares his insights in an exclusive conversation with Ms @latha_venkatesh, @moneycontrolcom
It was 4 pm at a plush Wealth Management office in Nariman Point, Mumbai.
Arjun, 40 years old, a high-frequency trader from London, walked in straight from the airport. He was wearing a bespoke suit and carried two iPhones that buzzed incessantly with market alerts. His father, Vishwanath, a retired government clerk, had passed away a week ago.
Arjun looked at his watch. "I have exactly forty minutes. I need to liquidate my father’s portfolio, sign the probate documents, and head back to the airport. I have a major opening on the London Stock Exchange tomorrow."
Vikram, the family’s long-time financial consultant, sat across from him. He had a thick file ready on the desk.
"Arjun, your father was a very disciplined man," Vikram said softly. "He started investing with me thirty years ago."
Arjun tapped his fingers on the mahogany table. "I’m sure he was. But let’s be realistic—he was a clerk. How much could he have saved? Five lakhs? Ten? Just give me the total Net Asset Value (NAV). I’ll sign the papers, and you can wire the money to my UK account. I don’t have time for a presentation."
Vikram didn't open the digital spreadsheet. Instead, he handed Arjun a small, old-fashioned leather diary and a single envelope.
"Your father told me that on the day you come to 'collect' your inheritance, I should give you this first. He said the numbers won't make sense without the words."
Arjun sighed, visibly annoyed, but opened the envelope. The handwriting was shaky, the ink slightly faded.
"Dear Arjun,
I know you are looking at your watch right now. I know you are calculating the 'opportunity cost' of sitting in this office instead of a trading floor.
Son, I watched you grow up. I watched you turn into a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing. You always told me, 'Dad, money makes money.' But you forgot that money is also supposed to buy time.
In this folder, you won't find a massive fortune. You will find something else. I have invested in 'Time.'
Every year, instead of buying a bigger car or a luxury watch, I bought 'Freedom.' I have cleared the mortgage on our ancestral home. I have set aside a fund that yields exactly what you earn in a month in London. I did this so that if one day you felt tired—if your heart felt heavy from the race—you could stop.
I didn't invest so you could become richer. I invested so you could afford to be 'Poor' for a while and spend time with your daughter, the way you couldn't spend with me.
The compounding I cared about wasn't just interest. It was the compounding of memories. Please, don't liquidate this. Use the dividends to buy a Sunday afternoon. Use the principal to buy a peaceful sleep.
Your father, who always had enough because he had you."
Arjun stopped tapping the table. The buzzing of his iPhones suddenly felt like noise, not signals.
He looked at the portfolio. It wasn't billions, but it was enough. It was a safety net woven out of thirty years of his father’s sacrifices—small SIPs, avoided luxuries, and quiet discipline.
His father hadn't been building a "Portfolio"; he had been building a "Prison Break" for his son.
The phone in Arjun’s hand vibrated again. A "Sell" alert. Arjun looked at it for a long second, then turned the phone face down.
"Vikram," Arjun’s voice was thick. "I’m not liquidating anything today."
"Are you going to miss your flight?" Vikram asked.
Arjun looked at the old leather diary, where his father had noted down every dividend he ever received, alongside notes like "Arjun’s 10th birthday—bought 10 extra shares today."
"The market will open tomorrow without me," Arjun said, a tear finally hitting the glass of his expensive watch. "But my daughter’s childhood won't wait for a bull market."
The Lesson
In the world of investing, we often obsess over CAGR, Alpha, and Portfolio Diversification. We treat money as a scoreboard to prove we are winning.
But the greatest return on investment (ROI) isn't more money—it is Autonomy. * Real Wealth is the ability to say "No" to a job you hate or a meeting you don't want to attend.
True Legacy isn't leaving behind a pile of cash; it's leaving behind the gift of "Time" for those you love.
Don't just invest to retire. Invest so that your loved ones don't have to sacrifice their soul for a paycheck.
A defining moment for India’s tech future 🇮🇳
With the inauguration of Micron’s ₹22,500+ crore semiconductor ATMP facility in Sanand by PM Narendra Modi, India steps firmly into the global chip value chain.
From software strength to hardware capability — a new chapter begins.

(cash). Clarity is the real alpha.
Gen Z taught me new dating words.
I used them to understand the stock market. 😄
"Situationship creates Bull Markets.
Bull Markets turn into Breadcrumbing.
Breadcrumbing leads to Bear Markets.
Bear Markets end in Ghosting."
Every cycle begins with excitement…
and ends in silence.
Clarity survives both. #GenZ #investing
