Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
Novartis AG has sold its 1.74 crore equity shares (controlling stake) in Novartis India to ChrysCapital-backed entities (WaveRise, ChrysCapital Fund X and Two Infinity Partners). The open offer has concluded and WaveRise and Fund X have acquired control. Novartis AG is reclassified from promoter to public. Board reconstituted with new directors appointed and several existing directors resigning.
Major ownership change. ChrysCapital entities now control Novartis India. Expect strategic shifts as private equity takes charge of the pharma business.
