Anjani Finance is a non-banking financial company primarily engaged in lending activities and managing a portfolio of investments, including income generated from a legacy wind energy asset.
The company lacks a competitive moat, as evidenced by a negative revenue CAGR of 14.8% and an average ROCE of only 4.4%, which is significantly below the cost of capital for a financial institution.
Management has failed to generate value, with EPS declining at a 20.7% CAGR. Capital is largely tied up in low-yielding investments and loans to related parties rather than being deployed into high-growth opportunities.
The company's slow liquidation accelerated as the remaining capital was drained through low-interest loans to related parties, effectively hollowing out the balance sheet for the benefit of the promoter group. The lack of a functional audit trail and internal control weaknesses eventually led to a regulatory crackdown or a total loss of asset visibility, while the shrinking revenue base and negative growth rates finally reached a point where the business could no longer cover its fixed operating costs, leaving minority shareholders with a shell of a company.
