The insider, Pramod Sahu, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for ₹6.8m worth of shares at a price of ₹527 each. So we know that an insider sold shares at around the present share price of ₹497. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. Given that the sale took place at around current prices, it makes us a little cautious but is hardly a major concern.

Insider Ownership
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Godrej Agrovet insiders own 9.8% of the company, currently worth about ₹8.8b based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
