₹2,010.44 crore at the end of October 2025 (when Amfi released SIF numbers after first launch in September) to ₹9,710.87 crore at the end of February.These will also give sophisticated investors a variety of options in the category, which was dominated by hybrid long-short strategies that use equities, debt, and derivatives to balance risk and returns during the initial phase.Unlike a mutual fund that takes only long positions—buying and holding stocks to benefit when prices rise—SIFs can employ both long and short strategies. In other words, SIFs are not dependent only on upward market movement and can also generate returns in a bearish market.

How long are you willing to wait to see Dhurandhar: The Revenge or Project Hail Mary, both released in March, on your favourite streaming platform? Eight weeks or four? That’s the question that filmmakers and theatre owners are grappling with.Stakeholders across India’s film business are even discussing whether a standard gap between a film’s release and its streaming debut would work for movies across languages.Universal Pictures set a precedent by mandating an eight-week theatrical window globally before its films can be streamed. Several theatre owners in south India are demanding that films follow the eight-week window for OTT premieres instead of four weeks now.Studio executives and cinema owners said the bigger issue is how box office performance eventually aids the sale of ancillary rights.
