The Essar Group, one of the leading players in the country’s corporate landscape, recognised for its extensive investments and innovative projects, had a challenging phase in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The company was burdened with Essar Insolvency and debt repayments and thus had to sell few of its assets to strengthen its balance sheet. It later underwent a major transformation by adopting a new business model that is focused on asset-light operations. Though the new Essar is a smaller company than the old one, it is a much more focused and agile company. With a revenue of USD 15 billion, and Assets Under Management (AUM) of USD 9.6 billion Essar is well-positioned for future opportunities.
