Trying to reach out to Orix India Car leasing team member Mr. Arun from Chennai but getting no response for the last 10 days. Anyone else available to connect ? @ORIXINDIA@ORIX_India
What a recovery by the Nifty Smallcap Index! 🔥
Indexed to 0% return on 1st Jan, here’s how 2026 (Red line) is stacking up against previous years. Jan-Mar is usually weak and April tends to bounce; but the Red line has stayed rock-solid through April seasonality… despite all the macro negativity and gloomy headlines.
It’s tracing the same path as 2023 (Pink line). Smallcaps refusing to break.
What do you think — is this the start of another big run?
Brilliant stuff 👏

Great news for India and USA!
We have agreed on a framework for an Interim Trade Agreement between our two great nations. I thank President Trump for his personal commitment to robust ties between our countries.
This framework reflects the growing depth, trust and dynamism of our partnership. It strengthens ‘Make in India’ by opening new opportunities for India’s hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, StartUp innovators, fishermen and more. It will generate large-scale employment for women and youngsters.
India and the United States share a commitment to promoting innovation and this framework will further deepen investment and technology partnerships between us.
This framework will also strengthen resilient and trusted supply chains and contribute to global growth. As India moves forward towards building a Viksit Bharat, we remain committed to building global partnerships that are future-oriented, empower our people and contribute to shared prosperity.

@OlaElectric Very comfortably Ola team send a message for appointment on 19th June for complain of 13th june. How do you expect your vehicle to sit idle for 6 days ? The story would not end here. they would take another week to respond after pick up. Lets see...
@OlaElectric My vehicle broke down and I raised an emergency complaint (#08532120), but support says 24–48 hrs for help. Is this how owning an OLA works in breakdowns? Still no clarity on when help will arrive. Unacceptable!
My heart breaks for those murdered and injured during the brutal attack in Kashmir. I strongly condemn this act of terrorism. My thoughts are with all the families who are impacted by this unthinkable violence.
I strongly condemn the heinous terrorist attack in Kashmir that claimed the lives of more than two dozen innocent civilians—families who were enjoying a peaceful visit.
My deepest condolences go out to the victims, and we in the United States stand with the Indian people and Prime Minister Modi in their fight against terrorism.
These cowardly acts of violence are a reminder that we must be united in our global efforts to eradicate terrorism in all its forms.
Had a super insightful discussion on Gold with @EdwardYardeni and @niraj_shah
And, Gold has a special place in terms of cross-impacts for Indian investors/economy too (not just for the super smart Indian women, who have saved in Gold over the years!).
GST refunds are stuck for months due to technical issue. GST dept. has no clue what the issue is & the helpdesk is not giving resolution. When taxpayers are penalized for delay in making GST payments, shouldn't the same be applicable for Government? @FinMinIndia@nsitharamanoffc
.@PayPal isn't validating the AWB provided by the buyer, who’s claiming a refund without returning the item. This falls under Seller Protection! How can merchants trust PayPal if proofs aren't properly verified? Shouldn’t it be called Buyer Protection instead? #PayPal

I will be very disappointed if serious market participants don't see this #Face2Face till the end.

A Historic Moment for India 🇮🇳
In a landmark event, Martina Navratilova inducted Leander Paes into the 2024 Hall of Fame. Paes delivered a heartfelt speech at the ceremony, reflecting on his illustrious career.
Navratilova & Paes, teamed up to win the mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon & Australian Open in 2003.
@Leander
A lot has been said in recent times about the fiscal management (especially on debt) of our government under PM Modi’s leadership. Many times, absolute numbers have been compared without considering the GDP growth on which we base the debt calculation. I would like to put out a clear picture, unlike @INCIndia, which hides behind lofty promises that are non-transparent and disconnected from reality.
Has @INCIndia considered the cost of the lofty promises made in their manifesto? Have they calculated how much the 'Khata Khat' schemes will cost fiscally? Will they borrow substantially for them, or will they raise taxes to fund them?
How many welfare schemes would @RahulGandhi shut down to accommodate the fiscal cost of the 'Khata Khat' schemes?
Would @RahulGandhi care to answer these real questions and explain how their gigantic schemes of fiscal splurge would work without increasing taxes or borrowing heavily and running down the economy? Here’s a challenge to him to answer these questions for the people of India.
The truth is that our government's fiscal management is much better than that of the UPA despite facing COVID-19 pandemic in which substantial resources were used for relief efforts.
During the UPA rule from FY2004 to FY2014, Central Government Debt, including external debt at current values, grew about 3.2 times, from ₹18.74 lakh crore in March 2004 to ₹58.59 lakh crore in March 2014. This increase was much greater than the 2.9 times growth from ₹58.59 lakh crore in FY 2014 to ₹172.37 lakh crore in FY 2024 (RE). This lower increase between FY 2014 and FY 2024 occurred despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the Centre borrowed to provide relief to those in need even as revenues fell.
The Central Government’s debt, which was 52.2% of GDP at the end of FY 2013-14, was reduced to around 48.9% in FY 2018-19 through gradual fiscal consolidation. During this period, the fiscal deficit was lowered from 4.5% in FY 2013-14 to 3.4% in FY 2018-19. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and proactive government measures to protect lives and livelihoods, the fiscal deficit surged to 9.2% of GDP in FY 2020-21, increasing the central government’s debt to 61.4% of GDP.
Post-pandemic, our government pursued a balanced approach to fiscal consolidation while sustaining economic growth. This strategy reduced the fiscal deficit from 9.2% of GDP in FY 2020-21 to 5.8% in the Revised Estimates for FY 2023-24.
The Interim Budget projects a further reduction to 5.1% of GDP in FY 2024-25. Similarly, the Central Government's debt-to-GDP ratio fell from 61.4% in FY 2020-21 to 57.1% in FY 2023-24.
Under UPA, for 6 consecutive years between FY 2009 and FY 2014, the ratio of India's Gross Fiscal Deficit (GFD) to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was at least 4.5%. It was between 4.5% - 5% of GDP in 3 out of the 6 years, between 5% - 6% in one, and more than 6% in 2 years. And there was no COVID-19-like crisis that needed such a quantum of fiscal expansion, showing poor fiscal management by UPA.
The Net Market Borrowings (G-sec) of the Centre had gone up a whopping 4.5 times during the UPA regime. It went up by 2.6 times under our government despite the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows the robust fiscal management of our govt.
During COVID-19, ‘borrow, spend & even print money’ to reboot the economy was the predominant advice given by the so-called “luminaries” of the opposition parties led by Congress. Ironically, the same people are complaining about high debt levels. (1/4)
