  • Sharp, wise, and consistently excellent

    If you want to actually understand the daily financial and economic landscape, this is the podcast. Govindraj’s deep knowledge of the markets is impressive, but it’s his wisdom and dry wit that make this a standout. He has a unique ability to make complex news both accessible and engaging. A brilliant start to the day!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#940 Indian Markets Stay Hesitant As Global Markets Hit Fresh Highs
Q: So how are fund managers keeping abreast of such a diverse set of assets, and what is the practical approach to allocation?
Governed by quantitative models to decide asset-class weights, followed by specialist teams for each asset class, enabling a coordinated, diversified portfolio managed by multiple experts.
#932 Markets Could Be More Stable This Week
Q: What are the pitfalls of an airport operator also running an airline, and why should we be concerned?
The guest argues that such a setup creates conflicts of interest, leads to preferential treatment for the operator's airline (in slots, parking bays, departures), risks higher passenger costs, and could consolidate power in a few players. Safeguards like arm's-length operation or an independent ombudsman are necessary to protect travelers and maintain fair competition.
#929 Indian Markets Steady Even Global Markets Are Volatile
Q: Right. And what about inbound, Sanjay? How's that looking?
Inbound flows are expected to focus on services like IT and AI, with attention to non-tariff barriers, regulatory alignment (SPS/TBT), and ensuring that data protection and domestic capabilities keep pace with international demand.
#929 Indian Markets Steady Even Global Markets Are Volatile
Q: Bilateral investment treaties or BITs, I mean, do they run concurrent? Can you tell us a little about that?
BITs should be viewed in terms of a future-oriented framework where treaties can be strengthened and disputes settled domestically, but the question is how to preserve investment protection while allowing ongoing policy evolution and court-backed dispute resolution.
#937 Foreign Portfolio Investors Are Inching Back Towards India
Q: What steps could improve FPIs' onboarding and post-settlement processes?
They want smoother onboarding and registration, streamlined post-settlement procedures and tax repatriation, and overall automation and smoother flow to align with investors' expectations tied to global indices.
