Season 3, Episode 43,   Jul 29, 2019, 12:00 AM

In this mighty interesting chat, Vatsal Srivastava shares his thoughts on how "momentum with quality" tends to dominate over fundamental narratives when it comes to the Indian markets. He discusses where India's Financial Media goes wrong, shares his concern around policy confusion, the fuss about crypto, among other things.

Vatsal Srivastava has the rare distinction of being a Markets Participant...as well as a Markets Commentator. Between a B.A. Mathematics at St Stephen's and an MBA from INSEAD, he caught the trading bug when he speculated on L&T while interning at a Business TV channel. 

But he's kept writing on Finance close to his heart, frequently publishing columns on major financial papers, aside from recently serving at Reuters as their Asia Markets Correspondent.
