Happy 2015!
As the new year 2015 dawns, the rays of hopes and confidence are once again radiating all around us. After the historical turn of events in 2014, we are now seeing its' ripples turning into waves on diverse aspects of the Indian economy. We are glad, that the new government at helm is making sure that these waves puts India into a higher growth trajectory. From what is seems, 2015 has promise to be a year to look forward to. The completion of seven months of the NDA government has been, as perceived largely, a very positive one. Today, the consensus view for the future also sounds good. We thought, it would be interesting for our readers to put numbers to these perceptions and views and thus decided to do a survey. We asked for inputs to seven relevant questions to fund managers. We also asked them for their expectations for the upcoming Union Budget. For the top budget expectations, we also added our own analysis. We present to you these two stories revolving on the perceptions, hopes and expectations that we hold today.
We are very glad to bring to you the interview of Mr. Prashant Jain, one of India's most respected fund managers.
