Jay Shah's fortune has soared in the Modi era!! Kusum Group's revenue rose by a whopping 37,000% between FY14 and FY25. The net profit and net worth of his business have grown by 11,000 and 12,000 times respectively. Must watch!!

If you had done a total SIP of 1 crore in NIFTY for the last three years, you would now have 1 crore and a lifetime of memories.

When @zoo_bear was arrested by Delhi Police in 2022 based on a manufactured complaint, court had ordered 4 days of remand and he was kept in IFSO office in Sector 16 in Dwarka during the remand period. I would go see him from a distance everyday because he was allowed to meet the lawyer everyday, and I would go along, but i wasn't allowed to speak with him. Once he was going to be taken for a health checkup (as part of regular procedure), which would mean he would have to be put into a police van and taken to the hospital. I was present there at that point in time and saw a lone camera person standing outside the gate. I was intrigued as to how does this media person know that Zubair's going to be taken for a checkup. I asked him which media organisation he's from, and it of course turned out to be ANI. Essentially Delhi Police had informed ANI that the camera person should be there so that the images can be shown widely on social media. Thankfully, that case didn't go the Umar Khalid way and he eventually got bail in 23 days. In those days, he was shuttled between different towns of UP and Delhi and the ANI camera followed him everywhere. Today, Swatantra Bhardwaj has been sent to police remand for an actual crime, but ANI has no photos to show.

इनको चुना ही ग़लत गया। ये मंगल मिलन टाइप फोटोबाजी के ही लायक़ हैं। संसद आकर जवाबदेही लेने जैसे चीज़ों से इनका दूर दूर तक कोई नाता नहीं है।

Uncles who cheered rapists, mob-lyncings, encounters, ethinc cleansing, bulldozers and dehumanizing of minorities are sad about abusive language in protests 💔

You idiot, I do give actual numbers. If only you had the wits to sit through a 3 minute video before commenting.

[Sanjay Bordia @sanjay280363]

@kaushalreports Give absolute numbers. Increase shown in percentage is your shameful act of hiding truth.

While we have no option but to pay for ethanol-free petrol and suffer from crippling inflation, Jay Shah's business keeps soaring to incredible heights in Modi era!!

[Kaushal Shroff @kaushalreports]

Companies within the Kusum Group managed to lead on nearly every front compared to their peers. Kusum Polyplast's numbers were so strong they border on the comically absurd.

Jay Shah's lawyer sent a reply threatening to sue me for defamation and other civil and criminal action, if I do not refrain from going ahead with the story.

[Kaushal Shroff @kaushalreports]

Indian Potash Limited follows directions from the Cooperation Ministry on the revival of dormant sugar mills. The cooperation ministry is led by Amit Shah. Meanwhile, men aligned with Amit Shah or the BJP run IFFCO and Gujcomasol — the largest and second-largest shareholders of Indian Potash Limited, respectively.

At the same time, Indian Potash Limited is also a customer of Jay Shah's Kusum Group. The conflict of interest writes itself.

Whether it's Adani, Ambani, or the Aditya Birla Group, all three (and many more) do business with Jay Shah's Kusum Group. Notably, many of Kusum Group's clients are also close to the BJP.

Jay Shah did not respond to my queries. After the publishing of the video, his lawyer sent a reply threatening to sue me for defamation.

[Kaushal Shroff @kaushalreports]

GIDC has allotted just under 8 acres of land to Jay Shah's business since 2017. Strategically, he has leveraged these parcels to expand his operations. Yet GIDC has offered no response to my questions about the screening committee reports behind these allotments.

Jay Shah's business has long been flush with unsecured loans. In the formative years, these loans strengthened his operations. Now, with the business airborne, both Jay Shah & his wife are channelling crores upon crores into it, once again, as unsecured loans

PIB issued a grand "clarification" to deny the AG called E20 an experiment. Guess they forgot Supreme Court proceedings are recorded now.

First they keep the actual research on engine wear under wraps, now they try to gaslight us on public court records. While the percentage of adulteration in petrol keeps increasing, the ethanol policy transparency remains at 0%.

In short: The govt lied.

The surprise is not that India's democracy is imploding. The surprise is that it lasted this long.

Ashutosh Gowariker directing Lagaan in 2001 to Ashutosh Gowariker heading a jury and awarding Kerala Story for Best Direction in 2026, is an accurate summary of India's 25 years.
