Gupta tells Akshata Gorde that the SIP book, currently at ₹25,000 crore a month, will rise to ₹80,000-90,000 crore by 2030. Excerpts:

How do you see the stock market in 2025? What kind of asset allocation would you prescribe?

The year 2024 saw elections in three major markets, the start of the rate cut cycle in the US, and notable outflows by foreign institutional investors. Moving into 2025, the focus will shift to corporate earnings, which can drive the markets forward.

Several stocks have rallied on earnings expectations, and the coming year will test their delivery.
