Sanjeev Sanyal, Member, Economic Advisory Council-PM, says “not only in decades, but even in centuries, we are in some ways clawing back some of our heft in the world. After a very, very long time, India counts for something in the world economy. Both of these things are coming together at the time that we are hosting the G20. As a result of that, this is a real opportunity for India to help set the global agenda, to show leadership and so on.” Sanyal further says: “We are truly going through a renaissance like the Europeans went through a renaissance in the 1500s. In every field of human endeavour, suddenly Indians matter. We are even managing to throw javelins further than everybody else. Who knew that a few years ago? We are managing to land on the moon.”What is the importance of hosting the G-20 summit this year? Especially for India, this summit is happening at a scale that has never been done before but the scale at which we are attempting to integrate with the world on trade and commerce also have never been done before.

Mahantesh Sabarad, Independent Market Expert, says “we are going to look at the oil and gas sector primarily because the government is now introducing the so-called subsidy element. If that comes true, there could be a little negative news for the oil and gas sector going ahead. The second bit of news is the kind of complete recovery happening in the US economy; probably the IT sector will start announcing newer deal wins and the sector outlook can look potentially better.”What is weighing down on the entire metals pack?The metals’ pack underperformance has to be linked to the Chinese market. Essentially, China is the market that drives the global commodity markets. The depressed real estate market in China which the government is trying to revive foretells us that probably the metal sector demand dynamics will remain quite subdued and therefore, Indian metal market or Indian metal companies being exposed to global commodity prices and price fluctuations are naturally getting affected by that.

Abneesh Roy, ED, Institutional Equities, Nuvama, says Tata Consumer can definitely acquire Haldiram’s. I do not see that as the issue. The issue is what will be the EPS accretion in any of these kinds of large valuation deals in the first one or two years. I would say that it is EPS dilutive in most such acquisitions. That is the bigger question rather than the ability of Tata Consumer to go for such a deal.Tata Consumer is looking to buy 51% stake in Haldiram's. Tata Consumer has been talking about how they want to expand their food business. Do you think this could be a good fit for Tata Consumer?Definitely, Tata Consumer wants to transform its portfolio.

Earlier, we saw Soulful being acquired in the breakfast series and the kind of scale-up they have done. And they have done multiple launches in their existing brands. They are very clear that because now distribution also has doubled, they want to be a very different portfolio three years, five years down the line.
