🚗 The Rise and Fall of Daewoo: How an $80 Billion Empire Collapsed 📉

Daewoo was once one of the largest business empires in the world. From automobiles and electronics to shipbuilding, construction, hotels, and telecommunications, Daewoo expanded at an incredible pace. It entered India with huge ambitions, introduced iconic cars like the Cielo and Matiz, and looked unstoppable. But behind its spectacular growth was a dangerous secret—mountains of debt. When the Asian Financial Crisis struck in 1997, that hidden weakness turned into one of the biggest corporate collapses in history. In this documentary, we explore the complete story of Daewoo—from its humble beginnings in South Korea to its rapid global expansion, its entry into India, the financial decisions that changed everything, and the lessons businesses still learn from its rise and fall today.
