Insider Ownership Of Camlin Fine Sciences
The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Camlin Fine Sciences Limited. Insiders own ₹1.50b worth of shares in the ₹5.60b company. I would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business.
