Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman & Co-Founder, Motilal Oswal Group, says there is no quick and easy money in the market. There is a very patient money and there are tonnes of it. But it is not quick money. If you want to turn your Rs 1 crore into Rs 10 crore in 10 years, it is possible. But if you want to turn Rs 1 crore to Rs 2 crore in the next year, that is very tough. You might even lose your 1 crore. Buffett has given a template to the world. Buy a good business run by a decent manager at a fair price. Let us take Raamdeo Agrawal’s portfolio versus Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s portfolio versus Nemish Shah's portfolio versus Prashant Jain’s portfolio – the big investors. All of them endorse Buffett’s philosophy. But there is nothing in common as far as selection of stocks is concerned. Raamdeo Agrawal: Of course. There are so many good companies. So, everybody approaches good stock portfolios. If there are 100 good stocks, some 20-25 will go to Rakesh, another 25 will go to Nemish bhai, and some 15-20 will come to me or like that. It will get distributed. Some overlap is always there.

«Defence as a segment, whether you take any other country companies, Lockheed Martin in the US, etc, their order book despite being mature countries grow very fast. So, there is a trading positional investment opportunity in, let us say, Bharat Electronics or HAL, but valuations are still rich,» says Chakri Lokapriya, Managing Partner, RSB LLP. What the outlook is on some of these defence stocks, given the fact that they are a buzz in today's trade, what is it that catches your eye within the sector? Chakri Lokapriya: The defence stocks, as we know, have corrected in the last month or so. The outlook remains strong, as the order book for these companies is never in question for the next three to five years. What was in question is the valuation and the ability to sustain the momentum of the order book, which I think the second question is easier to answer, which is the order book momentum will continue. Defence as a segment, whether you take any other country companies, Lockheed Martin in the US, etc, their order book despite being mature countries grow very fast. So, there is a trading positional investment opportunity in, let us say, Bharat Electronics or HAL, but valuations are still rich.

«They are still at about 20 times FY26 earnings at the index level. So, I would not call it that this valuation is so far stretched that there are no opportunities. At the same time, are the valuations at a level that you can say with a lot of certainty that anything you buy will make you money? I do not think we are there also,» says Abhay Agarwal, Piper Serica. Given the fact that we are hitting fresh record high now on the markets once again, do you believe that the market valuations is now looking a bit stretched or do you think that it is not that expensive yet? Abhay Agarwal: If we look at by traditional standards, the valuations are definitely on the higher side. I do not think the valuations or the index, when we look at valuation, we typically talk about the valuation of the Nifty Index stocks, the 50 stocks. So, they are not in the exorbitant range yet.

India will be one of the «great global superpowers» in the next few decades but it must stay the course on structural reforms to raise its economic growth rate to 8% from 6-7% now, said Nouriel Roubini, professor emeritus at Stern School of Business, New York University. In a conversation with Kotak AMC MD Nilesh Shah, Roubini shrugged off concerns about coalition politics derailing the country's reforms momentum. «I think there is some cohesive view that certain types of reforms have to be done, regardless of who is in power,» he said. China is slowing and external headwinds are gathering force, so India needs to get the reforms direction right and keep going even if the momentum may at times falter, he said. «Whether it's land reform or labour market reform or bankruptcy reform or more financial inclusion, more investment in skills and human capital, more reform of the bureaucracy and provision of public services-the list is very long,» said Roubini, making a strong case for building on the reforms already undertaken.

Localisation and customer service are key to success in any market, Agoda chief executive Omri Morgenshtern said. «Deep local merchandising or localisation is what we do when we go to any market. Every market you go to, you have two problems: problem number one is trust… nobody knows you and, as a result, they don't trust your service,» he said. «Problem number two is customer education in a B2C (business-to-consumer) business. Educating customers about something that they are not used to doing is horrible, super painful, costly… slower adoption. What you want to do is bring yourself, as much as you can, to look and behave like a local brand. Don't educate people… slowly, start being a local.»

air taxis in the world and the launch in 2026 will revolutionise urban travel, said Nikhil Goel, chief commercial officer, Archer Aviation. Archer is a California-based EVTOL company Archer Aviation. EVTOLs, or air taxis, take off and land vertically, just like a conventional helicopter. But since they're electric, they produce less emissions and are potentially much quieter. Archer's Midnight is a 4-seater aircraft, which can carry four passengers and a pilot for up to 160 kilometres. «While cities are getting more populated, our transportation options are degrading. That burden is particularly profound right here in India and that is what we are looking to address. I am confident that India will be not only be one of, but perhaps the largest market for electric air taxis in the world,» Goel said at the ET World Leaders Forum. Archer has tied up with InterGlobe Enterprises, which is the owner of India's largest airline, IndiGo, credited with making air travel more affordable in India. The US company plans to replicate the IndiGo model for its air taxi services — increase trip volume and reduce overall cost by achieving economies of scale. India is the third country besides the US and UAE where Archer plans to start operating. Archer will look to cater to passengers of IndiGo for their journey to and fro airport. IndiGo carries around 90 lakh passengers per month.

Justice K Hema Committee report, a poignant section stands out. Narrating her experience, a junior artist describes incidents of male actors harassing her. Apart from the acting parts, she lost out when she rejected sexual propositioning. She also mentions how she worked on a script for the big screen, pouring her heart into it every night after a long day's work. When she is told that this, too, would happen only if she was willing to 'adjust' and 'compromise' — the despicable industry bro code for demands for sex — she gives up on her dream. The 3-member Hema Committee was set up by the Kerala government in 2017 to 'study and report' issues faced by women in cinema, following persistent efforts of the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) after the sexual assault of a prominent female actor. After the report's court-ordered release recently, the Malayalam film industry is caught in an unprecedented churn. Multiple women have drawn courage from the report's release to publicly share their accounts about the sexual harassment. Some FIRs have been filed, and an SIT has been set up. But how will we measure the number of careers cut short and dreams turned to dust by men controlling the industry — whether opportunities denied to an award-winning actor like Parvathy Thiruvothu or a makeup artist?

Pakistan faces a rise in terrorist attacks over the past few years, its troubled Balochistan province was hit this week by a series of assaults that have resulted in over 70 fatalities. The coordinated attacks, possibly the most extensive of their kind in recent history, were carried out by the separatist Baloch Liberation Army (BLA). These events have once again highlighted the Baloch insurgency, driven by long-standing neglect and the exploitation of Balochistan's natural resources, revealing the province as a vulnerable point for Pakistan. The attacks, which saw BLA targeting police stations and taking control of major highways, coincided with the death anniversary of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, who was killed 18 years ago in one of then president Pervez Musharraf's counter-insurgency operations. Bugti's death only highlighted the shortcomings of military action, as it failed to address the true needs and aspirations of the tribal population. This lack of genuine engagement led to the rise of additional armed separatist groups, which now not only target Pakistani security forces and Chinese interests but also attack Punjabi and Sindhi migrant workers.
