2 for intermediates, 2 would be PLI product,1 would be Chloro Sulphur for internal consumption, another will be skin care
• Chloro sulphur will have good margin.
• Metformin will have similar margins and export approval will also add margin

• 9M CFO of business is around 140 cr

• Brown field expansion will decrease cost , and this will help compete with competitor which will further work on margin.
Next Growth target.
• Next year company expects more on the volume growth (around +10%) than on the price growth.
• Company seems margin sustainable.

More from The Tycoon Mindset

More from Society

Two things can be true at once:
1. There is an issue with hostility some academics have faced on some issues
2. Another academic who himself uses threats of legal action to bully colleagues into silence is not a good faith champion of the free speech cause


I have kept quiet about Matthew's recent outpourings on here but as my estwhile co-author has now seen fit to portray me as an enabler of oppression I think I have a right to reply. So I will.

I consider Matthew to be a colleague and a friend, and we had a longstanding agreement not to engage in disputes on twitter. I disagree with much in the article @UOzkirimli wrote on his research in @openDemocracy but I strongly support his right to express such critical views

I therefore find it outrageous that Matthew saw fit to bully @openDemocracy with legal threats, seeking it seems to stifle criticism of his own work. Such behaviour is simply wrong, and completely inconsistent with an academic commitment to free speech.

I am not embroiling myself in the various other cases Matt lists because, unlike him, I think attention to the detail matters and I don't have time to research each of these cases in detail.
