• The block was worth an estimated ₹39 crore, representing 2.79% of the company's market capitalisation.

Why it matters

For a micro-cap with thin daily trading volumes, a single unannounced institutional exit of this scale is a material supply shock. The stock must now absorb a significant increase in free float without the benefit of a prior announcement to condition the market.

• Whether Pari Washington discloses any further sell-side activity.
• Any response from other institutional holders on the register.
