Sundararaman Ramamurthy, MD & CEO, BSE, says as the nation grows, so does its economy, leading to the expansion of individual enterprises. Entrepreneurs are investing their life savings into their ventures, and I believe that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will thrive, with many advancing to the main board. Once listed, these companies may pursue multiple exchange listings, enhancing liquidity, credibility, and access to financing, which will support greater capital formation and benefit the economy. What is your view on how the SME listings for BSE would move for this year? Sundararaman Ramamurthy: Let me give you a macro picture and then let me come to the BSE picture. From a macro level, we are talking about 6.2, 6.3 crores of SMEs in the country. Today we are talking about the total listing of some 1,000 plus companies across exchanges. All the 6.2 crore companies may not be big enough to come for listing or may not be requiring a listing as well.

markets security Trade President country Biden speaks with relatives of Americans held by Taliban but deal to bring them home still elusive

Joe Biden spoke on with relatives of three Americans the US government is looking to bring home from Afghanistan but no agreement has been reached on a deal to get them back, family members said. Biden's call with family members of Ryan Corbett, George Glezmann and Mahmood Habibi took place in the waning days of his administration as officials try to negotiate a deal that could bring them home in exchange for Muhammad Rahim, one of the remaining detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Corbett, who had lived in Afghanistan with his family at the time of the 2021 collapse of the US-backed government, was abducted by the Taliban in August 2022 while on a business trip and Glezmann, an airline mechanic from Atlanta, was taken by the Taliban's intelligence services in December 2022 while travelling through the country. Officials believe the Taliban is still holding both men as well as Habibi, an Afghan American businessman who worked as a contractor for a Kabul-based telecommunications company and also went missing in 2022. The FBI has said that Habibi and his driver were taken along with 29 other employees of the company but that all except for Habibi and another person have since been freed.

Indian refiners will source more oil from the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, boosting prices and freight costs, as new U.S. sanctions on Russian producers and ships curb supplies to Moscow's top customers, traders and analysts said. The U.S. Treasury on Friday imposed sanctions on Russian oil producers Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as 183 vessels that have shipped Russian oil, targeting the revenues Moscow has used to fund its war with Ukraine. Many of the tankers have been used to ship oil to India and China as Western sanctions and a price cap imposed by the Group of Seven countries in 2022 shifted trade in Russian oil from Europe to Asia. Some tankers have also shipped oil from Iran, which is also under sanctions.

markets Strategy Healthcare Trade Experts performer reports Experts bullish on 6 sectors for good returns amid stock market volatility

BSE Sensex was the eighth best-performing global index in 2023, but slipped to 13th rank in 2024. The analysis is based on 22 world equity benchmarks that cover the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia. The data is sourced from Reuters-Refinitiv. The weak performance of corporate India in the September quarter, geopolitical factors, elevated valuations, strengthening of the US dollar index and substantial FPI outflows (in October and November) led to a jump in volatility in the fourth quarter of 2024. As the markets enter 2025, the volatility is unlikely to abate soon due to high US bond yields and a stronger USD index. These factors will keep the US markets attractive and prevent FPIs from sustained buying in emerging markets (EMs), including India.

markets Digital Gap Strategy Experts PAM performer Are diamonds good investments? In fact, are diamonds investments?

Diamonds were never truly investments in the first place, and the very idea that they could be regarded as such is a carefully constructed marketing myth. The recent attention to the Diamond Standard Index’s lacklustre performance over 22 years might seem like news. However, it merely confirms what smart savers have known all along, that the diamond market is unlike any other investment market. The basic principle of any investment is not just its quoted price, but the realisability of this price, that is, what you can get when you want to sell it. With diamonds, this gap between theory and reality is rather wide, to put it mildly. This peculiar nature of diamonds isn’t accidental; it’s by design. The story goes back to 1870, when massive diamond discoveries in South Africa threatened to destroy the gem’s value forever. The solution? Create a monopoly—which became De Beers—to control supply and prices. The real masterstroke came in 1938, when Harry Oppenheimer, the founder’s son, launched one of history’s most successful marketing campaigns, transforming diamonds from mere precious stones to supposed symbols of eternal love and value.

His plan is to retire to this house in another 5-10 years. “It all worked out well,” he told me.
