Best time for well-managed, large unlisted companies to go public: Raamdeo Agrawal
unlisted companies to go public, Motilal Oswal Financial Services' Chairman Raamdeo Agrawal said on Saturday in the backdrop of a record 42 lakh demat accounts opening in December, which he termed as the biggest economic event that has happened in India after 1992.
Agrawal said that well-managed large unlisted companies would want to make their company live beyond themselves and it is only possible by listing the company and separating the management from the ownership and management of the company.
Agrawal was speaking at BCAS’ ReImagine 2024 event organised by Bombay Chartered Accountants Society (BCAS) which is celebrating its Platinum Jubilee.
The three-day event on ReImagining concludes today.
