Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#893 Markets Await Govt Moves on Foreign Investments
Q: What needs to be done to make NEET stronger and more robust than what we are currently seeing?
A computerized, adaptive testing model similar to the GMAT/GRI approach, with a robust question bank and safeguards to prevent leakage, would improve integrity and efficiency.
#893 Markets Await Govt Moves on Foreign Investments
Q: Tell us about or give us a sense about the total supply and demand for medical students in terms of seats and how many people apply.
There are over 1.5 lakh undergraduate seats across government, state, deemed, and private colleges, with around 27-28 lakh students appearing for NEET, highlighting fierce competition for government seats due to cost and infrastructure advantages.
#892 Markets Speculate on Incentives for Foreign Portfolio Investors
Q: I began by asking Aoifinn what really is happening in AI investing, not just in the United States but globally.
Aoifinn explained that there is a diversification away from hyperscalers toward adjacent areas like infrastructure and semiconductors, driven by a desire to spread risk and access broader AI-related growth opportunities outside the U.S., while acknowledging a vertical wall of demand for compute that supports AI equities overall.
#890 Who is Buying or Selling in Indian Markets Right Now
Q: So who is selling and who is buying, and does it really matter at this point?
The guest explains that while FIIs have been net sellers for an extended period, domestic institutions have been net buyers, SIP flows remain strong, and the overall market resilience implies that the directional pressure from foreign selling is being offset by domestic demand and other flows.
#883 Indian Markets are Set to Open Stronger on Reports of an Iran-US deal
Q: What trends do you anticipate for overseas education financing in the next two to three years?
The trend is toward a continued structural demand for overseas education financing driven by a large young population, with destination shifts toward countries offering employment pathways and English-taught programs, while the overall financing market remains resilient despite currency fluctuations and macro shocks.
