The conversation also turned to investment lessons from the past. Raamdeo Agrawal shared a significant regret concerning corporate treasury management. He lamented the decision not to invest the company’s treasury cash into stocks for nine years between 2004 and 2013, a span that included the global financial crisis. “My balance sheet would have been at least double,” he reflected on the missed opportunity.

He expressed regret over not holding on to GRUH Finance for a longer duration. “I had bought GRUH Finance, but basically, I didn’t hold it on for long enough. So, I wish I had sort of held on to that,” he said, highlighting a common investor challenge of selling a winning stock too early.
The father-son duo also shared their mutual admiration. Vaibhav praised his father’s patience, long-term perspective, and gentle way with people. Raamdeo commended Vaibhav for his “calm thinking,” composure, and innate understanding of compounding, which he called a “big asset.”
