Soonicorns, Unicorns and Listings: The Transformation of India's Public Equity Markets

The stories of Flipkart, Paytm, Nykaa and other start-ups that define India are well-known. In a small but significant way, these unicorns also represent the dreams and aspirations of a new breed of corporates since they have been built by first-generation entrepreneurs. They developed business models that would not only meet unmet needs of the masses, but also attracted huge bets from investing capital from around the world. As we have seen, many of these homegrown start-ups are going for public listings aka IPOs and thereby creating history again in the public equity market. To talk about this very interesting opportunity, PMS Bazaar recently hosted Avendus and its top leadership in a webinar titled 'The Coming Transformation of India's Public Equity Markets'. The speakers were Ranu Vohra, co-founder and executive vice chairman, Avendus Capital and Tridib Pathak, co-head of equity, Ocean Dial Asset Management India and fund manager, Avendus Olivo (PMS strategy).

'Confident that as recovery sets in, value investing will outperform'

Stock markets are hitting new highs every day. At this juncture, growth comes at a premium.

How IDFC NEO AI model is redefining investing, portfolio management

The concept of AI was initiated in the 1950s, and the world has started to see how powerful and useful AI is when used appropriately. The advent of modern AI is often compared to the industrial revolution of the 1750s to 1850s, where the world took a quantum leap. Did You Know? You have been using AI based applications multiple times a day . Today, we carry smartphones, laptops, fitness trackers, and use food and travel apps. And all these applications generate data. A study conducted in 2016 suggested that globally, in every eight months, we are doubling the amount of data on the planet. It is not possible for human beings alone to collect and process large amounts of data to make reliable investing decisions. This is where AI or machine learning driven investment models come in. Who can explain this better than a data scientist with about two decades of experience in quantitative analysis and in building trading models! Meet Dr Chetan Mehra, Head – Quantitative Investments, IDFC AMC. In a special webinar organized by PMS Bazaar, 'Data, Portfolio Manager & Machine - The IDFC NEO Equity PMS Strategy' Dr Mehra shares his widom on the world of AI models and investing.
