Most of us know Big Bull Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s best investment was Titan.
He owned Titan stocks worth Rs 11,086.9 crore with a stake of 5.10 percent or 4,48,50,970 shares in the last quarter. Titan Company comprised almost one-third (in value) of his portfolio of 32 stocks. His total portfolio was worth over Rs 31,900 crore for the quarter ended June, according to data from Trendlyne. Such is his focus on picking and holding on to stocks.
But do we know what his worst investment was?
The ace investor once said, “My worst investment has been my health. I would encourage everybody to invest the most in that.” The world we live in today sees most of us spending almost our entire lives accumulating wealth, only to reach a stage where we have a lot of money but not enough health to enjoy it.
I am grateful to my parents for instilling good habits like healthy eating, having early dinners by 7 PM, and going to bed early. Investing one hour a day in your body and mind is a mantra that’s an invaluable lesson.
Our IDlish brand outlets reflect this philosophy. While we open for dine-in from 7:30 AM, unlike many restaurants that stay open till midnight or later, we close by 10:00 PM. We avoid using maida (white flour), which is a significant contributor to diabetes. Instead, we promote cane jaggery and palm jaggery over white sugar.
More importantly, though South Indian food is inherently healthy, we’ve collaborated with nutritionists and chefs to create a dedicated vertical of healthy South Indian dishes enriched with the goodness of millets, superfoods, and greens.
Taste & Health always together @ IDlish. Let’s IDlish.
