The full read
Mayur Leather Products has lost a second major stakeholder in less than a month. Amita Poddar, chairperson and promoter, sold 12.41% of the company on June 12, paring her stake to 1.78% from 14.19% — and following the complete exit of fellow promoter Rajendra Kumar Poddar. For a nano-cap with a market cap of ₹9 crore, zero operating revenue and a going-concern warning, that is effectively a clean break from promoter capital. With 1.78% left, Ms Poddar's economic interest is near zero. Investors who held on hoping for a turnaround must now weigh the possibility that even internal capital has abandoned the stock.
