The largecap IT space overall has shown anaemic growth and nothing great is coming out of the commentary as well. What is your outlook there? Also talk to us about midcap IT where numbers are good, but their valuations are not very cheap either? Shiv Chanani: IT is a pretty interesting space at this point of time where probably the entire space is going through what we call the corridor of uncertainty. So, when you look at one layer below which is the underlying customers of the IT companies, most of them which are in the US, one can perceive the kind of uncertainty that they are going through because you do not know when the rate cuts are going to be, how much of those rate cuts would actually take place.

Both the factors have taken away the opportunity for middle class buyers to own a home in the current situation.
