Let me take this opportunity to introduce to you all a highly successful company named "RAIPL".
After a modest beginning in 1950s , the company has achieved phenomenal success over past few decades to reach to product volumes of around 160,000 per year for it’s a high cost product and around 450,000 for its low cost product. This means one low end product is rolling out of company’s plant per 1.5 minutes and fully loaded version of the product is produced at a staggering productivity rate of product per 4 minutes. Recently company crossed a land mark figure of 10 million high end products on field.
The company has consistently grown at the CAGR of over 10% per year for decades. On the event of follow up offering , when wee discussed with the spoke person of company about the secret of their success, he mentioned that the USP of their products is that they are liked by people with passion and people who want to optimize cost ( he disclosed to me in person that the cost optimization he mentioned actually works on principle of penny wise pound foolish) .
He further mentioned that the company’s products are built for masses rather than classes and are liked by people of all genders , caste , religion , socio economic status is another reason for success.
When asked about the SWOT , he mentioned that biggest strength of the company is whole hearted support from Indian people and a great partnering eco system they have built over years . Regarding the threat he mentioned that government statutory norms and regulations is a biggest threat to this business , but he did not seem to be much concerned about this threat as in his opinion the pace at which things are moving , it may not affect the company any time soon in near future .
When asked about the CSR activities, he mentioned that they play a critical role in controlling population of India.
Before you think of buying a share in this company, please note the long form of RAIPL which stands for Road Accidents India Public Limited , The high end product is death , low end product is injuries. Partnering eco system is alcohol industry , road infrastructure builders .

Till the time we have all vehicles with ADAS , please wear seatbelts , please do not over speed , please don’t drink and drive and please don’t drive when tired or under emotional stress .
