Within two and a half years, the father-son team amassed a fortune of $17.5 million (Rs 112 crore).


Meridian Tech's primary asset, Ziddu.com, was reportedly acquired by another Venkata Srinivas Meenavalli-backed company, LongFin Corp. When Ziddu was acquired, Amitabh Bachchan's investment in Meridian Tech was rewarded with 250,000 shares of LongFin.


According to their website, Ziddu is "a blockchain research company developing decentralized applications for micro-lending and warehouse financing." "The Ziddu Warehouse Coin is based on the Ethereum ERC20 token standard."

 

Bachchan's other two investments, according to Firstpost, also provided him with massive returns. In 2013, his astute investor instincts earned him a 10,190% return on his investment in JustDial; he earned Rs 7 crore in just four months from a Rs 6.27 lakh investment. He had purchased 62,794 shares of JustDial at the time.


On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan currently has some interesting projects in the pipeline, which include, Runway 34, Brahmastra, Jhund, Goodbye, and The Intern.
