Have the markets harvested all the tailwinds and front ended all the earnings of all those potential interest rate cuts? We do not believe.

First of all, globally the interest rate cycle has peaked out. There is an expectation that interest rates will start coming off. Definitely, in India, we have clearly passed the point of highest rate and therefore the opportunity cost for an equity investor is low and we do expect that to be a continued tailwind for the market going forward.
