RETURNS CALCULATION
As of now 2025, The current share price of wipro is around 250rupees. Now we have 51,200,000 shares and wipro share price is 250rupees.
So (250 X 51,200,000 = ₹12,800,000,000)
This is how wipro share ₹10000rupees investment in 1980 year turned out be ₹1200 crores. Not only wipro, stocks like infosys, cipla, reliance companies also made massive returns.
POWER OF COMPOUNDING
This massive wealth is created because of compounding. If ₹1 doubles every day for 15days it value is ₹16384, if more 15days it could be more than ₹50crores. So this is how wipro given bonuses like 1:1 means double of shares which made over ₹1200crore rupees from ₹10000rupees. This is the pure compounding power. Imagine two friends vamshi and preetham invested in same wipro company in 1980 with ₹10000 but vamshi sells his stocks in 2024 with 1200 crores but preetham holds for 2030year. Now what if wipro gives 1:1 bonus for 2times in this period then vamshi has 1200 crores but preetham has more than 3000crores just because holding few years more this is what actually happens in the market.
You have to remember this “The more investment or the more Time”. If you have more money you can easily achive your target in lesser time, If you have more time then you can invest small amount in early age.
Example;
Preetham started from Day1 with ₹1 which doubles everday for 10days is equal to vamshi started Day 2 with ₹2.
Now you understand the power of compounding and investing long term makes good returns
So this is the story of wipro company which small investment made massive wealth in 45years.
