Beyond Market Magazine - January 2024

In this issue

Resilience and consistency continue to be the hallmarks of the Indian economy. Forecasts and estimates prove that this is true. Also, despite global headwinds, the Indian economy is scripting a new narrative of progress. Read our cover story, to know the current state of the Indian economy in the backdrop of the recently released important economic data.

Alongside, we have shone the light on the opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of 5G in India, the tepid performance of IT companies with experts passionately hoping for a revival in fortunes of businesses through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), and how the open network for digital commerce (ONDC) is revolutionizing the retail industry.
Also, take a look at India’s consumption story in addition to the tremendous growth potential of the agrochemicals sector.

In this issue, you will also find an article on famed American investor and author Howard Marks’s memo for 2024 on the hidden risks of easy money and ways to avoid falling prey to financial doom.

While the explosive growth of the mutual funds industry is a cause for celebration, it turns out that this has been made possible by the Indian middle class who have been flocking to this investment avenue owing to digitization, a flourishing economy, and a positive momentum in the Indian stock markets.

As Beyond Market completes 15 years of relentlessly doing what it started out to do – empowering investors with knowledge to take informed investment decisions, Team Beyond Market takes this opportunity to extend its gratitude and appreciation to all its readers for their generosity and patronage.
