How Mukesh Ambani Saved Oberoi Hotels & Resorts from a Hostile Takeover by ITC Limited In the 1990s, ITC Limited, a conglomerate with a significant presence in the hotel industry, gradually acquired a substantial stake in EIH Ltd, the parent company of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts. By 2010, ITC Limited held over 14% of the company’s shares, raising concerns within the Oberoi family that ITC Limited might attempt a hostile takeover, given its growing influence. At this critical juncture, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Limited, entered the scene. In a strategic move, Reliance Industries Limited invested ₹1,021 crore in EIH, purchasing a 14.12% stake. This partnership provided Oberoi Hotels & Resorts with a crucial buffer, diluting ITC Limited’s influence and effectively thwarting any potential hostile takeover attempt. Ambani’s investment was seen as a white knight intervention, helping the Oberoi family maintain control over the company. #hedgefunds #HedgeFunds #FinanceSuccess #CareerInspiration #InvestmentBanking #FinanceCareers #WallStreet #Motivation #SuccessStory #HedgeFundManagers #WealthManagement
