In a notable shift within the investment landscape, Ashish Kacholia, often referred to as the “Big Whale” of the stock market, has strategically decreased his stake in Awfis Space Solutions. During the fourth quarter of FY25, Kacholia trimmed his holdings from 3.9% to 2.5%, marking a significant decision as this reduction represents the largest cut in any company during this quarter.
Kacholia’s Continued Divestment in Awfis Space Solutions
This recent move is the second consecutive quarter where Kacholia has divested shares in Awfis Space Solutions. Initially, in Q1 FY25, he acquired a 4.8% stake, which he maintained through the following quarter. However, the pattern shifted as he began to pare down his investment thereafter.
