Case Study: Yes Bank Crisis, What Retail Investors Should Have Seen
Yes Bank went from a Nifty favourite to a boardroom-ordered moratorium in under four years, wiping out retail shareholders and AT1 bondholders along the way. This case study walks through what the bank actually was, the governance and asset-quality warning signs that were visible years before the collapse, how the RBI-led rescue actually worked, and what any retail investor can apply from this story to their own portfolio decisions today.
