Decaying Destinations with Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/09/29

It would be fair to say that India has been blessed with some of the world's most scenic places. Himalayan towns with magnificent views of the Great Himalayan Range, or lesser ranges like the Dhauladhars or the Pir Panjal are stunning from any benchmark. The tragedy is that over construction of hotels has created concrete monstrosities. The lack of infrastructure leads to clogged roads and rubbish dumped in scenic forests and in the valleys. Over-tourism has deflated the life out of such...

Indian Agriculture with Harish Damodaran

IMA Insights ·

2024/09/25

India's agriculture sector is crucial for the country’s food security. It also supports the livelihoods of over 40% of the population and strongly influences the growth of consumer markets. An abundant monsoon this year, and favourable policies on minimum support prices (MSPs) and import duties will likely ease rural distress in the short term. However, the sector faces major long-term challenges, such as fragmented farm holdings, sub-optimal cropping patterns, under-investment in machinery a...

Update - Markets and Interest Rates by Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/09/18

US Treasury markets are suggestive of a cooling economy. Investors expect many rate cuts, as yields on bonds have refused to rise. Lower yields on long-term Treasuries, suggest that there is still a scramble to buy safe assets as volatility in riskier asset classes, specifically shares, will continue with further bouts of pounding. Gold is in high demand – a situation that normally presents itself when other assets face trouble. It would be reasonable to assume that investors are no long...

Policy Burdens by Adit Jain

Recently, the government passed the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP). Its primary purpose is to regulate the collection and processing of digital personal data and respect individuals' rights. The way the system will work is that the government will create a Data Protection Board, as the supervising agency to monitor, enforce rules and impose penalties when appropriate. The board would adjudicate a dispute between those whose personal data has been given to a platform and the ...

The new government's maiden Budget introduces significant changes impacting businesses, including revisions to the capital-gains regime, dispute settlements, reassessments, buy-back taxation and the FDI rules. Significantly, the tone of the Budget speech mirrored this year’s Economic Survey, signalling a coordinated approach to economic policymaking.

During a briefing at IMA’s CEO Forum, Jonty Rhodes, a prominent cricketer, explained that as a member of the South African squad, he observed his captain Hansie Cronjeplay decisively to each member’s strength. Everybody could simply not be exceptional at everything and as long as each team member did his job, success was near assured. Unlike Jonty, most motivation speakers tell stories on attributes of personal achievement, which include routine, discipline and an unrelenting year...

Sheikh Hasina's sudden downfall has upended Bangladesh’s politics. It may also disrupt a strong India-Bangladesh relationship that helped stabilised the Eastern border for 15 years. While shared interests and careful diplomacy may preserve ties, the potential commercial and geopolitical fallout could be significant. At a recent all-India, cross-Forum session, Pramit Pal Chaudhuri, South Asia Practice Head, Eurasia Group, Fellow at the Ananta Aspen Centre and Editor of the Quad+ Journal, ...

Private Investment by Adit Jain

IMA Insights ·

2024/09/01

The failure of private investment to perk up, has been a source of worry. Private investment scores have essentially declined since 2012. Despite the government’s cajoling, through PLI based incentives, and the slashing of corporation tax, inhibitions remain amongst a sceptical business constituency to take the punt and expand capacity. One reason for the blame is possibly low household consumption, a trend that has now lasted for nearly a decade, particularly after the Covid 19 pandemic...

Yen Carry Trade by Adit Jain

2024/08/20

Markets across the world came under a bout of bear hammering on the 5th August. US unemployment which had fallen to a new set of lows, began edging up again and inflation pressures eased. All of this contributed to the sell off, but the key reason was the unwinding of the yen carry trade - which involves borrowing in yen at minimal cost and investing in higher yield assets overseas. This strategy adopted by punters worked very effectively over the course of the last decade, as the yen co...

Update - Bangladesh by Adit Jain

2024/08/17

The recent developments in Bangladesh, leading to the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, were in many ways not dissimilar to what happened in Sri Lanka a few years ago. Civil Society anger against the ruling establishment had been pent up for several years, so when a peaceful demonstration by students began a couple of months ago, it quickly turned violent. Hundreds of students were killed by paramilitary forces. However, on the 5th August, it became abundantly clear that Hasi...

The Indian Banking Sector with Jaimin Bhatt

2024/08/07

India’s banking sector is quite literally the life-blood of the economy. It powers both industry and consumption and channels savings to more productive uses. Over the last decade, the sector has seen critical reforms, an intense bad-loan clean-up, several waves of consolidation and has undergone a continuous process of maturation, making it one of India’s most technology-centric industries. Looking ahead, the new government is expected to catalyse further reforms and take forward the process...

The real challenge in employment generation stems from the fact that the manufacturing industry is not investing nearly enough towards the creation of new capacities. One reason is a softening in consumer demand, but there is also the issue of Chinese dumping. This podcast explains.

2024/07/31

The pressure of delivering strong results quarter after quarter can tempt even the best companies to be myopic about ethics and fair business practices. Sometimes, this gives rise to the sort of scandal that can destroy the very foundations of a business. While some may view 'fair practices' as resource-draining and growth-impeding, companies that adopt a values-based approach to ethics and compliance gain a long-term competitive edge in the marketplace. At a recent joint session of the ...

Decoding the Rupee Depreciation with Manoj Goel

2024/07/25

The rupee recently hit a new low against the US dollar on the back of rising safe-haven demand for the Greenback and a reversal of the US interest rate cycle. The RBI hopes to contain the fall by keeping domestic interest rates up, but this has created a double whammy for corporate and retail borrowers, who will now have to grapple with higher debt-servicing costs. At recent IMA CFO NxT Forum Sessions, Manoj Goel, Managing Director & Head of Corporate Sales, Markets & Securities ...
