The discussion will cover their views on the topics below, and more:
Near term challenges remain unabated:
- Valuations remain punchy – mid/small much more compared to large cap names
- Sharper regulator scrutiny – RBI on fintech , SEBI on SME/small/mid cap space
Long term structural outlook for India remains strong in our view, with India’s GDP growth outpacing other economies.
- Infrastructure – roads, railways, power
- Reforms and Production Linked Incentives (PLI) to drive manufacturing growth – whether we can replicate success of services exports
- Pick-up in private sector capex – are there green shoots on the horizon
