December 1985, Mumbai, India*
Five months had passed since Raj's bold acquisition of a 40% stake in *The Bharat Front*, and the cramped but bustling office of Karma Productions felt like the nerve center of his growing empire.
Raj sat at his desk, surrounded by stacks of newspapers, financial reports, and scripts for *Pyar Kiya* and *Love Train*, both of which were nearing completion under Shyam Rao's meticulous oversight and now in post production. The past five months had been a whirlwind of calculated risks and stunning victories, all guided by the infallible ROI system.
*The Bharat Front* had been Raj's most audacious move yet, and it was paying off. After securing the initial 40% stake for 10 lakhs, he'd poured an additional 30 lakhs into the struggling newspaper, upgrading its outdated printing presses with state-of-the-art machinery and hiring a team of talented young writers to inject fresh energy into the content.
Raj had personally overseen the editorial direction, focusing on sharp, relatable reporting that appealed to Mumbai's growing middle class.
His masterstroke, however, was a weekly column featuring stock recommendations. Using the ROI system, Raj carefully selected 2–3 companies each week that promised modest but reliable returns of 2–3% within a month. At first, the column went unnoticed, buried among the paper's usual mix of local news and politics.
But after a few weeks, small retail investors began to take notice. The system's predictions were uncannily accurate—every recommended stock delivered as promised. Word spread like wildfire through Mumbai's trading circles, and by the third month, *The Bharat Front*'s circulation had surged by 30–40%. The paper was no longer bleeding money; it was breaking even and gaining a loyal readership.
Seizing the momentum, Raj introduced a dedicated two-page spread in each edition, covering financial markets and emerging technology trends.
The financial section analyzed stock movements and investment strategies, while the tech section highlighted innovations like personal computers and telecommunications, topics that captivated urban readers hungry for the future. The move cemented *The Bharat Front* as a must-read for aspiring investors and tech enthusiasts, further boosting sales.
Raj's growing influence in the company gave him leverage to acquire an additional 20% stake in *The Bharat Front* for just 4 lakhs, as the remaining shareholders, still skeptical of the paper's long-term prospects, were eager to cash out. With 60% ownership, Raj now had near-total control, positioning him to steer the company toward the 5-crore payout the ROI system had projected for 1988.
As he leaned back in his chair, flipping through the latest edition of *The Bharat Front*, Raj couldn't help but marvel at his progress. Five months ago, he'd been a 21-year-old with 3 crore in inheritance and a failing production house. Now, Karma Productions was thriving, with two promising films in the works.
In last 5 months, By leveraging the power of his ROI system. Operating from his bustling office at Karma Productions in Mumbai, Raj has become a financial prodigy, balancing his film production ventures with shrewd investments in the stock market and a failing newspaper, *The Bharat Front*.
Guided by the ROI system, which predicts precise returns on investments, Raj has strategically poured money into over 15 companies. Most of these investments, selected with the help of his experienced broker Rajnath Gupta, yielded steady returns of 5–8% over short periods, providing a reliable stream of profits. A few standout companies delivered exceptional 10–15% returns, significantly boosting his wealth. His earlier stock market wins, including 120 lakhs from AB Chemicals and Kings Aluminum, and a projected 1 crore from XYZ Pharma, Metro Steel, and Sunrise Textiles, set the stage for this aggressive expansion. By December, these calculated moves have swelled his fortune to 7 crore, a testament to the system's uncanny accuracy and Raj's bold decision-making.
