Kian- Brookfield invested 25 k cr in a reliance entity. This was the largest PE deal in India ever. Please cover it.

Kian- It seems you are so intent on covering small deals which no cares but not very large deals like the Jio- Brookfield deal which is a 4 bn dollar deal and the fibre invit which is likely to be more than a 10 bn dollar deal.

Luthra regulatory lawyers have become transactional lawyers ! Did they not have other transaction corporate team to lead on such transactions.? Surprised always to note that their regulatory team leads on more transactions than their other corp transactions team put together.

Any idea what would happen to the prices of the clothing range after this acquisition.

I really like their collection and my wedding date is later this year.

Can anyone from KCO or Luthra please shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.
