A video of an Indian company’s shareholders’ meeting went viral on social media after a shareholder launched a scathing attack on the management with a barrage of “curses,” catching the attention of ace investor Vijay Kedia.
During an annual general meeting, a shareholder began his speech by thanking officials for the opportunity, but then shared his frustration at only being allowed to speak once a year for only one minute despite being with the company for 10 years.
The investor’s rant included a mythological analogy, when he said, “I would like to talk about Lord Brahma. Once someone asked Lord Brahma why dogs always live on the streets, and Brahma ji replied that those who don’t return others’ money and have ill intentions are made into dogs in their next life.”
He then launched a scathing attack at the company’s managing director, saying his “40 years of experience” had not delivered any profit for the shareholders. “I’m saying it clearly – when your funeral rites will be held, not even ten people will attend the ceremony,” he said.
“Your personal wealth is going up, but the company is going down, the shareholders are lost, including you. You don’t have shame for the last 10 years. You must resign in today’s meeting because you can’t run the show… Aap agley janam me kutta banogay, mai shraap deta hu (I curse you to be born a dog in the next life),” he added.
‘Ek Chutki Share Ki Keemat..’
When the shareholder attacked the director’s sons, the management told the investor to behave properly and maintain decorum. It was then revealed that the investor only had one share of the company.
After the video spread like wildfire online, investor Vijay Kedia shared his two cents on the matter, criticising his choice of words yet acknowledging his grievance. “While I condemn the words, the essence is clear: shareholder money must be respected,” he said.
“Incompetent managements with fat salaries and perks must not forget—times have changed. India’s 13 crore investors have their own way of expressing themselves. It’s high time… Ek chutki share ki keemat jaan lo, babu,” Kedia said.

Several netizens agreed with Kedia’s views on the matter. “While tone matters, the core truth can’t be ignored—shareholders fuel the engine, and managements skating on thin ice with lavish perks will soon face the investor reckoning,” a user said.
“If the stock price didn’t gave any returns in last 5 years than management should be held responsible,” another person wrote.
