#WeeklyRoundup ● Market Outlook for 2025: Higher Highs or Cautious Optimism? The year 2024 was a tale of two halves for the financial markets. While the first half witnessed an impressive rally surpassing expectations, the latter half brought uncertainty, volatility, and corrections, leaving investors wary as 2025 approaches. A. Balasubramanian, MD & CEO of Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, highlights factors shaping the upcoming market landscape, including expected interest rate cuts by central banks, resolution of geopolitical tensions, stable commodity prices, and India's economic resilience amid global challenges. ● Hood App: Anonymous Discussions for Authentic Conversations Founded in 2021 by Jasveer Singh, Abhishek Asthana, and Deepak Kumar, the Hood app gained prominence after its appearance on Shark Tank India. Positioned as a platform for free and democratic discussions, it emphasizes creating multiple interest groups for open communication under anonymity. Backed by investors like Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Ashneer Grover, and Kunal Shah, the app ensures safety through partnerships with Ikigai Law and aims to implement responsible AI. While still a work in progress, the platform is addressing challenges such as online harassment to promote a more inclusive digital space. ● Hexagon and TEXMiN Drive Mining Innovation Hexagon India has partnered with TEXMiN, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, to establish a Center of Excellence, launched by Padma Bhushan Dr. V. K. Saraswat. This collaboration focuses on leveraging technology for digital transformation in mining, emphasizing environmentally sustainable practices. It aims to drive innovation through R&D in areas like mine mapping, geospatial analytics, and automation, empowering industry professionals and researchers. ● Startups Thrive in Public Markets Indian startups faced lukewarm private investments in 2024 but found success in public markets. Thirteen startups, including Swiggy, Ola Electric, and FirstCry, debuted on stock exchanges, with realistic valuations and transparent financials. Unlike the underwhelming IPO performances of 2021 by firms like Paytm and Nykaa, these startups effectively balanced expectations and storytelling, setting a new standard for public listings. #MarketOutlook #FinancialMarkets #EconomicTrends #InvestmentStrategies #Leadership #StartupSuccess #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #Sustainability #MiningInnovation #TechnologicalAdvancements #AIforGood #ResponsibleTech #IndianStartups #PublicMarkets #IPO #GrowthMindset #BusinessLeadership

Year 2024 will be known for actual decoupling of the Indian markets from its global peers and here is why: 1. Indian IPO market is set to make a new peak in primary market issuance of about $20 Bn, which is 30% higher than the peak we made in 2021 supported by global liquidity rush. In contrast, IPOs for period 2024 in USA are 85% below its 2021 peak! With this, India's share in global primary market issuance is at 17% for the year despite a mere 2.5% weight in the MSCI World Index - thanks to the domestic flow! 2. Where the global tech startups look forward to listing on NYSE or NASDAQ, 90% of Indian tech startups which were domiciled outside India for future foreign listing have actually made a switch in 2024 and now coming back to get registered into India for a future domestic IPO. For example - Groww, PhonePe, Razorpay, & more. This is a tectonic shift and the fruits of this be visible in long terms as tech startups start becoming part of Indian index like Nifty/Sensex post listing. Checkout our detailed blog on why year 2024 will be seen as the tipping point in evolution of Indian financial ecosystem. Blog link is available in the comments⬇️ Finding Outperformers | Yash Agarwal

Hi Guys, Thoughts & Updates of the Day!, Pronoy here. Recently, I saw the post "Sector Wise Billionaire in India." Let's discuss it in our context (I & Mohanta Group) and the sectors we're currently involved in. As you know, we are potentially India's first self-funded, growth-stage fintech conglomerate, comprising nine startups. Therefore, we fall into the "Diversified" category. However, through our first startup, we are primarily an IT brand. The weight of our startups/subsidiaries and the projected future revenue and profit position us as a financial services, fintech, or investment brand :). Regarding the post, you can see many top Indian companies and leaders in various sectors. We (I & PMZ Wealth Creator) have been and continue to be investors in many of these and other Indian companies. Lastly, I want to share our latest updates and milestones for PMZ Wealth Creator. Today, we completed 150 weeks in the Indian stock market as traders and investors. We have four types of business models (two proprietary trading & investment models, B2C, and B2B). Over the past few years, we have focused solely on the first part of the proprietary trading & investment business model and have achieved extraordinary traction, performance, and growth. Now, we're moving forward to a massive scale stage :). For more details, check out our past posts. As you know, we (I & Mohanta Group) will generate income in two ways: 1) Investing in ourselves (own brands, businesses, companies, and people) and solving three universal problems: I) Effective wealth management for B2C & B2B. II) Improving business efficiency (initially focusing on topline revenue growth-related products & services globally for B2C and B2B customers). III) Career development and growth for B2C & B2B. 2) Investing in others across various asset classes globally. Currently, we are investing in one asset class (stock market) and one market (India). After entering our (I & MGC) growth stage and our (PMZWC) massive scaling stage, we will start trading and investing in various asset classes globally, creating massive wealth for ourselves and our shareholders. In the next few years, once fully prepared and having raised massive funds from our investors (DII/FII), we will enter the B2C and B2B space and start managing money for our customers globally. For more information, visit our website: https://bit.ly/MGCEmpire. stay tuned and follow me: Pronoy Mohanta for real-life learning, updates, opportunities, and more!. Thanks to all.

𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥-𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞: 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐫𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 India saw $25 billion in private capital-backed exits in 2023 and $11.5 billion in the first half of 2024, according to new data from the Global Private Capital Association (GPCA). Why it matters: While the rest of the world struggles with exits, India’s deal value increased by 46% and deal count by 51%, year-over-year. The big picture: Favorable macro conditions, investor-friendly policies, and a rise in retail investors have driven this boom. Indian corporate acquirers and stable rupees also played key roles. By the numbers: Public market exits: $12.9B in 2023, $8.1B in H1 2024. Secondaries: $6.6B in 2023, $2.2B in H1 2024. Strategic M&A: $5.8B in 2023, $1.1B in H1 2024. The bottom line: India is emerging as a new area of interest for VCs.
