  • Indian equity markets in 2026: What lies ahead?

    Indian equity markets in 2026: What lies ahead?
    Dec 29 2025
    In this episode of businessline podcast, host Anupama Ghosh speaks with Pranav Haridasan, MD & CEO of Axis Securities, about where Indian equities stand as 2026 approaches. After record highs and a cooling phase across indices, the market now feels like a crossroads. They break down what recent corrections in mid- and small-caps indicate, whether valuations have reset to a healthier range, and how earnings visibility is shaping expectations for the year ahead. The conversation covers the RBI’s rate cuts, the rebound in credit demand, and what this could mean for financials. Haridasan explains why large-caps may lead the early leg of the recovery, before confidence filters into mid- and small-cap names. He also highlights where value may emerge: defence, manufacturing, Make in India plays, and parts of consumption that could benefit from policy support and improving sentiment. The podcast also looks at the IPO landscape. If FPIs are selling in the secondary market, why are they still buying new listings? The answer, he says, lies in pricing discipline, better valuation ranges, and the structural growth stories behind some upcoming offers. Whether 2026 becomes a blockbuster IPO year or a selective one will depend on how the calendar is spaced and how global conditions evolve. Listen in to the podcast to know more!

    Oil shocks, AI jitters & sanctioned partners: Inside India Inc’s risk radar
    Aug 22 2025
    At a time when companies across the globe are facing voltalitle geopolitical and macro-economic conditions, a recent survey by Kroll, leading independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, indicated that fewer than one in four Indian respondents believed that they are very prepared to address the totality of all business challenges ahead, lagging all other countries in the APAC region (30%) as well as the global average (32%) .In a podcast interaction, Tarun Bhatia, Managing Director and Co-Head APAC, Investigations Diligence and Compliance, Kroll spoke about the key business challenges being faced by organisations in India. "More than half (56%) say their level of preparedness for the year ahead is either the same or lower than it was over the previous year," Kroll's 2025 Global Busines Sentiment Survey Report stated. Bhatia pointed out that the risks businesses are facing are not the typical operational risks. Besides, geopolitical tensiosn, cybersecurity threats, AI developments and integration, data privacy concerns, economic instability and regulatory changes are all emerging as key risk concerns. He added that businesses have been focusing more on financial metrics in the past but now they need to look at the impact of multiple variables on their businesses. Rapid-fire events are reshaping the global economy and jolting the business environment in real time delivering unprecedented challenges for even the most seasoned global business leaders, he added.
