Latest Case Studies

Edelweiss has spent three decades building one of India's most ambitious financial empires, and it has paid a real price for that ambition. Regulatory crackdowns, a mountain of debt, and the brutal complexity of running seven businesses under one roof have tested this company in ways most of its peers never faced. Yet here it is in 2026, with its Alternative Asset Management business raising ₹10,855 crore in a single year, its mutual fund SIP book growing 58%, and a five-year stock return that leaves the Sensex in the dust. This case study gets into all of it: the genuine strengths that don't get enough credit, the weaknesses that still keep analysts cautious, the opportunities that could make Edelweiss one of India's most rewarding long-term stories, and the threats that could just as easily derail it. If you've ever wondered whether Edelweiss is a turnaround worth betting on or a complexity trap best avoided, this is where you find out.

Pepsi, backed by parent company PepsiCo, is valued at $19.4 billion and ranks 29th on Forbes' Most Valuable Brands list with a presence spanning 200+ countries.

The long-standing battle with Coca-Cola, shifting health-conscious consumer trends, and a heavy reliance on celebrity endorsements remain persistent vulnerabilities that the brand continues to navigate. The upside? Healthier alternatives like Diet Pepsi and Stevia-based drinks signal a promising and timely shift in strategy. That said, economic slowdowns and tightening government regulations across global markets continue to pose real threats to Pepsi's growth ambitions.
