According to AMFI chief executive NS Venkatesh, January was “very good” compared to global equity markets. However, the Indian equity market has not declined much, which means there will be a positive outlook and inflows in the coming months.
This could also be due to the increasing participation of retail investors in the market, who rely on India’s growth story.
