Sandeep Tandon, CIO, Quant Mutual Fund, says “metals, PSU, pharma are very big themes and will lead the market. FMCG is also showing early signs of bottoming out. Each and every stock has not bottomed out, but some characteristics are there where we will look for a buying opportunity at bottom levels. I am not in a hurry so that we have to buy today only, but they are showing early signs of bottoming out.” Any specific reason why FIIs are selling because I can understand that the local crowd can get jittery, but FIIs typically have a very long view. They are often buyers when there is distress. Right now, FIIs are causing distress with rampant selling. Who are these FIIs who are selling and why are they selling in the month of May? Sandeep Tandon: It is not only in the month of May, FIIs have been sellers for a while. They used to run very concentrated holding in the past. If you can recollect, few banks, few technology companies, few FMCG and few consumption names was their thesis. So, they made very concentrated bets. All these stocks which they owned were part of the admired territory which peaked in September 2021 and are still correcting.

Shashwat Goenka, Vice Chairman, RPSG Group, says that right from the energy business to the manufacturing business of carbon black which is now diversifying into chemicals, the retail business, the consumer business, the media or the entertainment business, across all verticals and even the BPO business, the group is going to go through a lot of transformation, a lot of growth – organic and inorganic – over the next couple of years. What has changed in Kolkata? Shashwat Goenka: Over the last few years, a lot has changed in Kolkata and I do not know when was the last time you came here. But if you actually just drive around, you will see the amount of infrastructure development that has taken place. And I think what has also changed over the last two years is a lot of people are now moving back to West Bengal. People originally who were from here who had moved out, a lot of them are moving back. So, that is a reflection of the transformation that we have seen in the state.

Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman, Motilal Oswal, says “in the last 25 years, total savings in the Indian economy was $10-12 trillion. But in the next 25 years, it is going to be $100 to $150 trillion and it is going to hit us every day. It is hitting us every day. This is the journey of India. By 10th or 12th year, India would be accumulating almost $5-6 trillion of savings per year. We are going to give birth to Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, a big JPMorgan or big asset management company out of India with a serious scale.” There are a lot of themes in this market, PSUs, defence, railways but one theme which you have really understood over the years is autos and auto seems to be in a great patch now. Two-wheelers are doing well. Escorts is also looking well. Maruti is doing well, Tata Motors is doing well. Do you see this kind of a comeback in the autos, especially at the discretionary end of the market, to last for the next two-three years? Raamdeo Agrawal: So long as you have the rallies going on in the capital market, which is another source of what you call wealth creation for the people at large, they are going to use their market cap power or financial wealth that they have created in their portfolios for buying discretionary stuff, whether it is high-end housing, high-end cars, high-end fashion, travel, all luxurious things.
