Ambani and Murthy Hit by Stock Market Tsunami, Forced to Cancel Yacht Lunch
In a devastating blow to India’s ultra-rich, Mukesh Ambani and Narayana Murthy collectively lost ₹1.44 lakh crore in stock value this week—a figure so large it could fund ten Mars missions, or two weddings at Antilia.
While the middle class clutched their SIP statements like holy scripture, the titans of industry were reportedly "visibly shaken", with insiders claiming Ambani postponed a yacht lunch in Monaco and Murthy briefly sighed during meditation.
The Tragedy: A Nation Weeps (Almost)
Reliance Industries: down ₹95,000 crore.
Infosys: down ₹49,000 crore.
Investor morale: down with zero stop-loss.
The rich lost money. The markets lost logic. And the only thing up? Stress levels and meme content.
Meanwhile, a nation united—not in grief, but in morbid fascination—as the stock tickers bled red like Diwali crackers gone rogue.
“I used to think billionaires were untouchable,” said one retail investor, rechecking his portfolio on Zerodha. “Now I feel better knowing they’re also losing—just… slightly more dramatically.”
Emergency Measures in Billionaire Land
In the wake of this economic tremor, drastic steps have been taken:
Ambani reportedly flew commercial (business class, of course) “as a symbol of solidarity.”
Murthy’s family switched to organic quinoa from imported Peruvian grain “to reflect the mood.”
The private chef at Antilia was instructed to hold back on gold flakes—for now.
There were also rumors of a candlelight vigil planned in Lutyens Delhi, where elite families will gather to light imported beeswax candles and whisper “Nifty 50” in Sanskrit.
Retail Investors Watching Like… 👁️
Of course, while billionaires lost lakhs of crores, the average investor lost something more valuable: hope.
Ashok from Indore lost ₹3,200 and his will to live. “If I knew the rich were losing too, I would’ve at least enjoyed the chaos,” he said, as he uninstalled his fourth trading app.
What This Teaches Us (Absolutely Nothing)
This isn’t just a market correction—it’s a reminder that money is a construct, wealth is relative, and no one is safe when FIIs decide to ghost you.
Will Ambani bounce back? Yes.
Will Murthy lose sleep? Only if it’s REM-tracked on a ₹2 lakh smart mattress.
Will the common man recover? Not before he Googles “How to sue SEBI emotionally.”
Final Words for the Fallen Fortune
Let us now bow our heads and mourn the ₹1.44 lakh crore—gone, but not forgotten. May it find peace in the afterlife of quarterly reports, and rise again when Sensex remembers who daddy is.
Until then, we wait. We sip chai.
And we watch billionaires… pretend to feel broke.

I don't think any Industrialist will loose sleep over Share market fluctuations. All this nonsense of them canceling dinner or meeting etc maybe PR or journalists jumbo.
The money they make is from the profits and their withdrawal from the firms they own. No one draws or spends money depending upon Stock market.
