Insider Ownership Of Asian Granito India

While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.

I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Asian Granito India Limited. It has a market capitalization of just ₹6.8b, and insiders have ₹3.0b worth of shares in their own names. This may suggest that the founders still own a lot of shares.
