Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It's great to see that AIA Engineering insiders own 59% of the company, worth about ₹113b. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
