1. At a Glance
Tejas Networks was hyped to stratospheric levels by Twitter finfluencers who called it “the next big telecom story.” Stock went from ₹600 to ₹1,460. Fast forward to July 2025, and it’s back at ₹601. That’s a 60% correction and a lot of burnt portfolios.
2. Introduction with Hook
Imagine you’re at a wedding where the DJ hypes every song as “the banger of the year,” and you dance till your knees give out. Then, the lights turn on, and you realize you’ve been grooving to remixes of old songs. That’s Tejas Networks for retail investors—hyped on Twitter like a Bollywood superstar, then reality hit: delayed BSNL orders, losses, debt ballooning, and your “multibagger” became a “half-bagger.”
3. Business Model (WTF Do They Even Do?)
Tejas makes networking equipment—optical, broadband, wireless—basically the plumbing of telecom networks. Sounds cool, but in reality:
They sell to BSNL, Airtel, defence, utilities.
75+ countries use their kit, yet 60%+ revenue tied to BSNL orders.
Backed by Tata (through Panatone Finvest) which gave finfluencers the magic word: “Tata = trust.”
So yes, they do “telecom gear” but sell it like they’re launching rockets.
