Surve told the inquiry into the affairs of the PIC that Sagarmatha could have been worth $10bn if a listing in New York had gone ahead

Independent Media chair Iqbal Survé says his Sagarmatha Technologies business would probably have had a valuation of $10bn in New York if its listing went ahead.

In early 2018, Sagarmatha's listing on the JSE — along with a mooted listing in New York — was scuppered by its failure to submit financial statements on time. At the time, Sagarmatha was eyeing a market valuation of R49.7bn, which would have thrust it firmly into the JSE’s top 40 index. Sagarmatha's assets included African News Agency, online retailer Loot, Independent Online and Sagarmatha Enterprise Solutions. Proceeds from the group’s failed listing would have been used to buy Sekunjalo Independent Media, which controls Independent Newspapers.But Survé told the commission of inquiry into the affairs of the Public Investment Corporation on Tuesday that Sagarmatha could have been worth $10bn if a listing in New York had gone ahead.

Delusional is the word that comes to mind 1st
