Sanjay Bakshi: A Practioner and Preacher of Value Investing
Sanjay Bakshi, as a prominent Value investor in India needs no introduction.
ValueQuest, a fund managed by Mr. Bakshi and his partner Mr. Paresh Thakker has an AUM of $130 Million, and invests in high quality businesses at attractive valuation.
So how does Mr. Bakshi look at value?
For that, let us introduce you to the other side of the man, Prof. Bakshi.
Professor Bakshi teaches Behavioral Finance and Business Valuation, a wildly popular elective, and Security Analysis at MDI Gurgaon.
In fact, his courses tend to draw crowd from not just the PGPM course but all other courses as well.
So much so, that every class of his has a jam packed auditorium, with students scrambling to get the front seat. But it isn’t just numbers and ratios and multiplier that the professor teaches.
In fact, his opening remarks is “Over the course of the next 20 lectures, I intend to teach you guys a few important life lessons.
But because this is a Business school, there is no way the management would’ve let me take these classes had I told them I intend to teach student the value of life.
So instead I chose to title it based on my other profession as a value investor.”
And so profound is his teaching, that he has bagged the best professor award for 5 years in a row!
In this article we wish to uncover the Fundoo Professor side to the value investor Sanjay Bakshi!
