The full read
Antelopus Selan Energy, a ₹2,726 cr market-cap oil explorer with zero debt and a trailing PAT surge of 157.7%, is taking its story to two of India's most-watched institutional investors. On June 24-25, the company will hold one-on-one meetings in Mumbai with Old Bridge Asset Management and Helios Capital. The agenda is vanilla (public info only), but the guest list isn't.

It helps that Antelopus just bagged its first investment-grade rating (IND A/Stable) a fortnight ago. No allocations yet. But the door is open.
