He had said that he would gradually reduce the equity stake in the company over the next five years. Gangwal had said that while the new investors should benefit from a possible future increase in the company's share price, I may also get some benefit from the gradual reduction in my stake. He had said that sometime in the future I might consider participating again as a board member.
