When Valuations Misfire: Corporate Sales of Deception

By Dr Shailendra Singh Rathore

Why is corporate truth stranger than fiction? Why do billion-dollar dreams so often turn into billion-dollar nightmares?

From Wall Street boardrooms to India's startup corridors, this book unravels the dramatic stories of corporates that soared on hype, only to stumble under the weight of their own illusions. Tesla's puzzling projections, Kingfisher's glamorous downfall, Paytm's IPO crash, Byju's education empire wobbling on debt, Reliance IPO failure-the narratives are gripping, the numbers sobering.

Corporate valuations are stories in disguise-sometimes heroic, sometimes reckless. Through sharp storytelling and forensic detail, When Valuations Misfire exposes how greed, ambition, betrayal, deception, deceit, lust, and misplaced faith distort value, leaving investors and employees to pay the price.

Each incredible story is a cautionary tale and a mirror, forcing us to ask: in the race for the next unicorn, are we mistaking mirages for markets?
