So, with the IPO looking like a success, here’s how much Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani stands to make.

Nilekani’s family trust NRJN Family Trust has an 8.7% stake in the company with 23.94 lakh shares, out of which it will offload 14.4 lakh shares.

According to Divig Torqtransfer’s regulatory filing, the trust acquired these shares at the price of ₹125.28. So, to buy 14.4 lakh shares at that price, the trust would have had to shell out ₹18.04 crore.

If we take the IPO upper price band of ₹590 as reference, Nilekani’s ₹18.04 crore investment will turn to ₹84.9 crore, resulting in an ₹66.9 crore profit — a massive 370% return on investment.
