Speaking of latest developments in this sector he mentioned, “We have built a waterway from Haldia to Varanasi. We are trying to increase waterways through the country as they are cost efficient. We have many plans for goods and passenger transportation through waterways. China has 7-8% logistics cost while India has 16%. We are trying to bridge the gap.” Furthermore, speaking of developments specific to West Bengal he said “We are making Haldia a multi model hub where road, rail and waterways coincide for best connectivity. This will be great for Kolkata and business in Bengal.”

Nilesh Shah, MD Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company Limited, shed light upon investment opportunities. He said “India is becoming a contrarian play globally even in terms of emerging markets. A lot of stocks and sectors, especially in the broader space, are in the bull market and that is where the opportunity is.” He was very optimistic about the growth of the Indian Economy.
Mr Sandeepjethwani, Co Founder, Dezerv, shared his knowledge on finance management. He said “the factors that affect the functioning of a fund are macro and micro in nature. Given the nature and size of information, it is not reliable to use intuition to evaluate the relationship between outperformance and multiple factors. A scientific method to integrate multiple micro and macro factors is required to create reliable estimates of outperformance and select the right funds.”
