Sunil Singhania's view on the Indian market.

There has been significant momentum in the markets over the last few months which is also led by decent sectoral churn. What we are witnessing now is that laggard sectors of the last few years are now participating, including PSUs and the Real Estate sector.

He keeps himself away from chasing momentum while continuing to focus on businesses with sustainable profitability and decent ROEs. Fundamentals continue to remain strong even as he expects a very strong festive season led demand. He does expect near term volatility led by global or local news flow to continue, but corrections are expected to be short and swift.
