The surge followed the announcement that Hindenburg Research, the US-based short-seller behind the Adani Group’s share crash in 2023, is being disbanded. The decision was made public by Nathan Anderson, Hindenburg’s founder.
Hindenburg Research gained global attention in January 2023 when it released a report accusing the Adani Group of stock manipulation, accounting fraud, and using offshore tax havens improperly. The allegations triggered a massive sell-off, wiping out a significant portion of the Adani Group’s market value.

The Adani Group denied these accusations, and subsequent investigations by the Supreme Court of India and SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing. However, the damage to the conglomerate’s reputation was significant.
Nathan Anderson cited the intense nature of the work and the toll it had taken on his personal life as reasons for shutting down Hindenburg Research.
In a note, he stated:
“We shook some empires that we felt needed shaking. But I now view Hindenburg as a chapter in my life, not something that defines me.”
Since its inception in 2017, Hindenburg has been involved in investigations leading to charges against nearly 100 individuals for regulatory violations. However, Anderson acknowledged the emotional and physical cost of such work.
The disbanding of Hindenburg marks a symbolic closure to a turbulent period for the Adani Group. Stocks have steadily recovered since the initial allegations, with Adani Enterprises leading the resurgence.
