New York: Hindenburg Research, the U.S.-based investment research firm known for its high-profile short-selling campaigns, has officially ceased operations. The announcement was made by the firm’s founder, Nate Anderson, on January 15. The firm recently garnered significant attention in India for its investigative reports targeting billionaire Gautam Adani and his conglomerate, which resulted in billions of dollars in losses for the Adani Group.
In his statement, Anderson explained the decision, stating, “As I’ve shared with family, friends, and our team since late last year, I have made the decision to disband Hindenburg Research.” He added that the closure was part of a pre-planned strategy to wind down operations after completing their final pipeline of investigative projects, including recent work exposing Ponzi schemes.
Hindenburg Research became a prominent name in the financial world by publishing detailed reports alleging corporate misconduct, fraud, and governance failures. Throughout 2023, the firm’s reports on the Adani Group created ripples in the Indian financial markets, wiping billions off the market value of Adani’s companies and raising questions about regulatory oversight and corporate practices.
