Chetan Ahya, Chief Asia Economist, Morgan Stanley, says it looks like the urban economy or the urban consumption which had led the initial recovery, is the one which is slowing. We are looking at the auto sales data on a daily basis from the government sources and it is indicating that there has been an improvement in the last few days in terms of auto sales. But urban consumption is the one which has raised some concern because there has been a broad-based slowdown. While there has been a slowdown over the past few months, all eyes are now on what the festive season could potentially bring. Could we see some sort of a shift or a pickup? Chetan Ahya: Yes, that is right. We are expecting things to improve over the next few weeks. The main reason why growth was slowing was the government expenditure slowdown and then parallelly we had the excess rainfall in August and at the same time there were some shifts in the calendar effects, particularly the festival and inauspicious time period.

Mumbai: SoftBank Investment Advisers co chief executive Alex Clavel rates India among its top performing markets, on the back of a spree of public listings by its portfolio firms. “India is the world’s most successful IPO market of 2024,” he said during an exclusive interaction with ET at SoftBank’s office in Mumbai. “Others, including the US, haven’t seen as many IPOs, even outside of tech.” Clavel took over his new role at the Japanese conglomerate a year ago, jointly leading its investing vehicle SoftBank Vision Fund ( SVF) with Rajeev Misra. While Clavel spearheads SVF-II, Misra who stepped away from day-to-day operations in 2022 and later launched One Investment Management, oversees legacy investments from SVF-I. Clavel’s ascension coincided with a tightening of the ship at the Masayoshi Son-founded group after years of exuberance, amid a broader reset in the technology investing world.

«Any company which basically focuses not only on the top end, but something that is value for money, significant value for money, for the bottom 60%, those will be the companies which will survive and do exceedingly well as our per capita income goes up,» says Milind Karmarkar, Dalal & Broacha Portfolio Manager Nikunj Dalmia: So, what is looking good for next three to five years? What is the big picture? Milind Karmarkar: So, frankly, as I have always said that for me the mega trend continues to be consumption. And when I say consumption, as you know that it encompasses a lot of sectors. But within that, what looks interesting is that if you divide the Indian population into different quartiles, one realises that at least 70% or at least 65% of the families are such who do not have any money after their day-to-day expenses. So, any company which basically focuses not only on the top end, but something that is value for money, significant value for money, for the bottom 60%, those will be the companies which will survive and do exceedingly well as our per capita income goes up.
