Zomato’s Investments Game: Stain on Governance
- Zomato (ZOMATO IN) had made total investments of $275 million in the year 2021 across 4 different companies.
- The investments made by the company have and may further lead to controversies as it showed poor patterns of governance practices.
- We highlight these issues pertaining to two of these investments viz. Grofers and Shiprocket.
Peloton and the Kiss(es) of Death
- As I perused the headlines yesterday, I came across a CNBC article that suggested Peloton would be hiring McKinsey to “review its cost structure and potentially eliminate some jobs”.
- Whilst Foley is not likely to be sleeping with fishes anytime soon, the CNBC report suggests that 12% of Peloton’s physical store count might be on the chopping board
- Whilst I still continue to believe Peloton will have success in their market over the longer term, this does not equate to attractive shareholder returns
