The investor relations section of the website of
DLF asks you to register with them
before you can download anything from that section of their website. And they ask you for all sorts of details when you try to register, like the name of your employer, designation, telephone numbers and an email address.
Now DLF happens to be the largest Indian real estate company, in fact it is the largest real estate firm in the world by valuation so one would expect that the website admin would follow certain minimum standards of information integrity, given that it probably would be managed by highly paid IT services firm/s.
So then, as it turns out, out here on their website, you can
download all the above mentioned details of some 2300 plus people who registered on the DLF website to access their investor relations section!!! In fact if you want, you can export the entire list to an excel sheet. (And it so happens that the company that manages the site is
the big and the blue one. I see
vrikodhara grinning already )
Somewhere on this list is my email address as well (thankfully I did not divulge any other detail) :(
Update: They used to ask one to register a few weeks ago, but a recent visit to the website reveals that that is no longer the practice.
