Asian Paints stock in focus: Sucheta Dalal, business journalist, reacts to Shyam Sekhar’s post on Asian Paints

This is a contrived story. As someone who had an inside track on this, I should know. The threat to Ashwin Dani was hardly an investment banker but two people significantly bigger than- one a politician and another a very highly regarded individual. Letting it remain at this- only to correct the info. BTW there are very respected people still around who know what I am saying and made things happen. Having said that – Dani ran a good company but I don’t have much regard for him as a person!

Asian Paints stock in focus: Shyam Sekhar, investor and portfolio manager, shared that he is an admirer of Asian Paints as a company. 

“The story-telling and narratives which were peddled on Asian paints were very raw, unthinking and superficial at so many levels. We were varnishing the truth all along. We completely ignored industry structure changing dramatically, competitive intensity transforming permanently and the industry becoming completely dominated by large organised players. We failed to foresee competition from big players, heavy investment in the industry and the impact of the industry growing capacity way ahead of demand. This will take force start turf wars in every segment of the paint market. Even a champion like Asianpaints is now on a sticky wicket. The wet paint may end up drying a lot faster,” he wrote on X.
