Before IPO , promoters have vision,
After IPo, Investors will have vision
I learnt a long time ago that there is a big difference between making a living and making a life. In the times to come, AI will get increasingly better at the skills that we've used to make a living. Our imperative will be to instead make lives. Not artificial lives. Or artificial lives. But our own lives and of those we love. As machines get better at answering, and solving what they are asked, our work is to get better at asking, at making, creating, and deciding which questions are worth a life, and refusing to outsource that.

As a prudent custodian of public money, will LIC request Adani-ji to appoint a Big 4 Audit firm? LIC has ₹50,000 crore exposure in Adani Group. QUIZ TIME: Who is the auditor of Adani Enterprises (HoldCo)?
Cesars’ Wife Must Be Above Suspicion
a. In Dec 2025, GOI stated in the Parliament that LIC has invested approx ₹50,000 crore in Adani group companies. LIC is a fiduciary for policyholders’ savings. It is not LIC’s personal money.
b. Adani Group’s holding company Adani Enterprises has over 200 subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associate firms. Its businesses relate to airports, roads, water, data centers, solar, defence & aerospace, foods, mining, and agri.
c. The scale and scope of Adani Enterprises’ audit is breathtaking even for a Global Big 4 accounting firm. So, who is handling this flagship company’s audit? A small Ahmedabad-based firm Shah Dhandaria & Co.
d. Questions about this firm were raised by a US-based short-seller in 2023. It said in its report that Shah Dhandaria & Co, operating from a small office (rent ₹32,000 p.m.) did “not seem capable of conducting a complex audit.”
e. The report alleged that this audit firm just had 4 partners and 11 employees. Some employees were as young as 23-24 years of age, while the firm’s partner who signed off on the company’s financials was 28 years old (at that time.)
f. For sure, Adani Group has bounced back with a bang since the 2023 scandal. The U.S. Justice Dept has dropped charges against Adani recently. So, the “legal risk premium” which was squeezing the group in terms of interest costs has now ended. (₹4 lakh crore gross debt @ 7.8% interest)
g. Ever since the U.S. filed charges against Adani, global investors had only one question on their minds: “Will the group survive this?” But now the tables have turned. The new question is: “How much can we lend him to fund his ambitions?”
h. Lenders do not care if a borrower has a shady past. They only care whether the risk has been re-priced. In Adani’s case, the re-pricing has begun and all his doomsayers are biting dust. Even “The Economist” grudgingly conceded recently that Adani is a “Master Escapologist.”
i. The Risk: In a 2016 paper, Stanford University and Max Planck Institute financial scholars showed that when corporations become addicted to debt, the leverage becomes almost “irreversible.” “It is similar to eating potato chips. It’s hard to stop once you eat one.”
j. Adani Group has become systemically important (“too big to fail”) for India now. Considering its large ownership of India’s strategic assets, it should appoint a “Big 4” accounting firm to audit the accounts of Adani Enterprises. What's the harm in it? Cesars’ wife must be above suspicion.
k. Prudence must be applied now. There is little value in post-facto SEBI investigations after the horses have bolted from the barn.
