Look for companies succeeding in a tough market; okay to buy Zomato, Swiggy with 6-12 months’ view: Hemang Jani
Hemang Jani, Independent Market Expert, says even as we discuss if the valuations are accurate, companies that are doing well and have a solid business model will eventually benefit investors. It's important to identify companies that are succeeding in tough market conditions, whether they are in banking, automotive, or consumer technology. Jani further says that for some of the platform companies, the story is over. Maybe a bit of a cool-off was required. There is massive selling by the FIIs which were holding some of these stocks. But from a 6 months, 12 months kind of perspective, these remain very interesting themes and particularly Zomato and Swiggy are the names I am pretty comfortable buying into at around current levels.

In addition, the association argued that platforms and providers should implement a periodic requirement that would see their customers reconfirm their preferred opt-out choice, as well as enable any customers who already opted out to opt in on demand. The latest push from the AIC comes on the back of a focus on shareholder voting ...
