Sequent is down 60% from its highs. Let's understand how their business is faring (by @AnishA_Moonka )

A thread 🧵👇

1/ How do businesses happen? Do they just crop up the day when an entrepreneur thinks of it? Do they become bigger as the stock reaches new highs?

I guess, No. It takes time, It takes labor. Again, Will the ascension be smooth? Never.

The journey of Sequent in the last 5 yrs:

2/ Pre-FY15: Sequent was merely a commodity high volume low-value API player

Due to this intrapreneur's (Mr. Manish Gupta) efforts that we see Sequent as the only USFDA approved generic animal player from 🇮🇳

Behind the deals of Strides Agila plant & the Australian business.

3/ The transformation speaks volumes of how such a businessman thinks.

In 6yrs of existence, he has taken the unknown co. to be among the Top 20 in the world.

Now, he is taking a long shot to enter the Top 10 over the next decade (aka. Sequent 2.0); A tall task.

4/ If he is dreaming big & has executed in the past with industry tailwinds; the common question is why is the stock down by so much?

Probabilities: Investors went from a high probability of success to a low in months as multiple obstacles (short term?) hit the co.

Most members of the trading community are not proficient Twitter users.

Here are 8 effective methods to use Twitter:🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Use lists

The most powerful technique to completely transform your Twitter experience is using Lists since:

1) it eliminates irrelevant tweets and
2) concentrates more on what you are actually looking for.

Let me demonstrate.

Segregate people you follow into different lists.

I have a list of "Regular Trade Updates," for instance.

In order for me to study them later, this concentrates on handles that share trades.

Some traders I have on this list include-
@niki_poojary
@RijhwaniSheetal
@YMehta_

2. Mute trolls

• Some handles genuinely spew hate over their timelines.

• Completely pointless in terms of improving you.

• Muting these handles and a few more that don't provide value is the wisest course of action.

• I block and mute people without mercy.

Can also mute "specific words".

To improve his Twitter experience, @Atulsingh_asan Sir muted these words, as you can see.
