  • Description
    The decimation of JIGNESH SHAH’S global empire. How he broke the market monopoly and the price he paid. If things had gone Jignesh Shah’s way, he would have been the Czar of Exchanges, a sterling exponent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ programme. Shah pioneered creation of 10 new-generation regulated multi asset (equity, commodity, currency, bond & electricity) financial markets just in 10 years across India, Singapore, Dubai, & Africa. No innovator has been credited with such accomplishments across the world. All the markets were No. 1 in India and No. 2 in the world. He was riding a crest from which very few could have toppled him by way of talent and performance. But he had taken on institutional forces like the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and invisible forces that backed NSE including its political godfather, corporates with vested interest, rich & powerful brokers and FII fronts—known as the famed Malabar Hill Club—by sheer performance to democratize the market prosperity to masses. First, the Spot Exchange crisis was created and then it was used by this very Club that ganged up with influential politicians and bureaucrats in Lutyen’s Delhi to get Shah arrested in May 2014 on charges that have not yet been proved in Court. Rather, the entire money trail has been established to the 24 defaulting brokers against whom there has been literally no serious action at all as has been done against FTIL and Shah! In May 2016, it was revealed that brokerages responsible for NSEL payment crisis would come under the scrutiny of market regulator SEBI. A Bombay High Court appointed committee even found brokerages guilty of submitting false PAN card details of clients and trading without their consent. In this book, seasoned journalist Shantanu Guha Ray meticulously probes the motives of those who shunted Shah out of Exchange businesses and what it means for the politico-business climate of India.

    A book worth investing time with !

    If you are not well-versed with the structure of power in India, this book is perfect to begin with. Narrating the story of how vested interests put brakes on self-made entrepreneur Jignesh Shah’s rise, Shantanu Guha Ray has revealed scary truths. On one hand our country is moving towards brilliant ideas like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’, on the other there are miscreants like the defaulters of NSEL case who put self-interest ahead of anything else. This book is not exactly an easy rea...

    We all are fascinated by the growth stories of business moguls like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but here we have a story of how a man who set out on an incredible journey with a vision to empower India, became a victim of conspiracies. Jignesh Shah, the businessman behind several innovative advances was let down by brokers who had different plans and motives. The author has put down all facts in an excellent manner to narrate a gripping story of cheating and betrayal.

    The Target is a truth that was untold!

    NSEL crisis, its impact and what unfolded for Jignesh Shah and his company are all mentioned in The Target! However, what I loved about the book is that it aims to give you a softer but a real side that many people out rightly refused to even ruminate! It shows that we always need to look at all sides of the picture rather than believing what is shown to us! The Target talks about an angle that was never supported by anybody! Read it today!

    The saga of Indian entrepreneurs

    Th Target has all the ingredients of a gripping read. The executive fiat by which FTIL has been targeted post the NSEL crisis makes one wonder if this is the way we as a country treat our entrepreneurs!

    NSEL crisis unfolded differently in The Target!

    NSEL crisis brings you the crux of another reality that exists in the financial markets. It shows how you how each person who had vested interest - right from Chidambram, KP Krishnan, Ramesh Abhishek to Ravi Narain were all threatened by Jignesh Shah's soaring success and played a significant part overthrowing his growing kingdom! An ignominious truth, a unpardonable behaviour and tragic ending against a man who changed the financial markets!
