Gurmeet Chadha, Co-Founder & CEO, Complete Circle Consultants, says wherever there is earning support, one can buy a basket. Complete Circle likes financials and has been dipping into it. Amongst largecaps, they have bought ICICI and added to SBI. In tier II banks, they have added Federal Bank and are also looking at some select NBFCs. They are also adding a few defence names with a 20-30% correction from the peak. Plus, they are adding some auto ancillary stocks, which have been under a lot of pressure. In PSUs, Chadha is gung-ho on PSU banks. SBI trades at book. Bank of Baroda came up with a very good update. In Bank of Baroda, the retail mix is improving. What is your take on the markets at this juncture because it has been a decent sell-off from the high point. Is there any area where you are finding the valuations to be attractive or good opportunities at this price point? Also help us with your take on the PSUs because they have been feeling the heat and do you believe that the PSUs have some headroom for recovery? Gurmeet Chadha: In absolute terms, there is a lot of selling in the market. Nobody really anticipated this kind of selling coming through and in a matter of a few weeks. So, almost $12-$13 billion is gone and the market has still absorbed quite a bit of it.

viral post on X has sparked outrage after revealing a manager’s heartless response to an employee who survived a serious car accident. The post, shared by user @kirawontmiss, includes a screenshot of their text conversation. Instead of offering concern or checking on the employee’s well-being, the manager’s message focused solely on the employee’s return to work. Some users urged the employee to quit immediately and use the screenshot as evidence in future job interviews if asked why they left. The screenshot begins with the employee sharing a photo of their car, which was severely damaged in the crash, clearly indicating the seriousness of the accident. Rather than expressing sympathy, the manager’s reply asks the employee to “keep me updated on what time you’re expecting to be here.” This dismissive response was followed by another message a day later when the employee did not respond promptly. In it, the manager states that only a death in the family would be considered a valid excuse for missing work, implying the accident was not reason enough to stay away.
