Congratulations, Prime Minister @narendramodi on becoming India’s longest-serving continuous Prime Minister.

As Canada and India renew our partnership, I look forward to continuing our work to deliver greater prosperity for both our peoples.

The World’s Most Surprising Capitalist Makeover Is Under Way in Sweden

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock”

But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea.
So we did.

In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

A milestone day for IIFL Capital.
Delighted that Prem Watsa backed Fairfax, our partners for over 15 years, are increasing their stake to 51% with a ₹2,000 crore capital infusion and open offer. Having been long-term shareholders for many years, this is a strong vote of confidence in our people, platform, governance, and long-term vision.
This partnership brings together entrepreneurial energy and global institutional strength, positioning IIFL Capital strongly for the next phase of growth across wealth management, investment banking, institutional equities, asset management, and financial services.
Excited about the journey ahead.

Fairfax Financial's 2025 giving report: $90M donated this year, $570M since 1991 — a 520× increase at ~20% CAGR. The architecture: 2% of pre-tax earnings, split 50/50 between central foundation and operating companies. Giving that compounds like the business.

Seven Islands Shipping Limited led by Captain Thomas Wilfred Pinto, his son Clayton, and their team have compounded this business quietly and brilliantly since we partnered in 2019. A textbook founder-led story and one we are very proud to be part of. We premiered a video about it at our 2026 Fairfax India AGM:

Deficits aren’t investment and Canada is paying the price with lower productivity and smaller paycheques.

One of the best ways to understand a company is to hear directly from the people building it.

Fairfax India is launching a podcast series on our holdings - bringing shareholders closer to the businesses, the management teams, and the India growth story.

First up: BIAL (Bengaluru International Airport).

Great work by Kasi Rao, @HariMarar, and the entire team that made it happen.
