Indian Economy And Industry Overview Recovering from the global meltdown effect of last two years, India is now poised and set to be the second fastest growing economy in the Asia Pacific Region. The productivity growth rate of Indian economy is estimated to be around 8% and it is expected to sustain until 2020. Infrastructure integrated with real estate development has been the backbone of such sustained growth and continue to be the focal point for our economy. High per Capitaincome resulting in high per capita spending is directly related to the demand of our products and we foresee a bright future ahead. Economic Overview (2014-15) For the Indian economy, 2015 has been one of its most disappointing years, with GDP growth plummeting to sub-5% levels even as inflation has remained stubbornly high. It is therefore natural that industry is hoping for better times in 2016. While there are early indications of a revival in the economy, it is by no means certain that a decisive turnaround will take place. The year 2015 has been a watershed for India in political and economic terms. On its part, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been fine-tuning its policies to prop-up growth and curb inflation. We expect growth to revive gradually going into the next fiscal; with an estimate for GDP growth of 5.9% - 6.0% in FY 15. This will also be supported by affirmative action by the RBI, though the timing could be more during the second half of the year OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS As a financial services intermediary, the company's growth and profitability are, to a large part, dependent on the stable growth and functioning of the Capital markets. The growth of financial services sector will allow the Company to grow businesses in each of the verticals. However, stubborn inflation, high fiscal and slow pace ofreforms has led to the sliding of Indian GDP growth to around 5%. Renewed political uncertainly at the centre currently is continuing to cast its shadow on the return of growth. Given this none too-rosy scenario for FY15, the goal for this year for the Company will be to improve operating efficiency.
