Top-notch fund manager Samir Arora had a miraculous escape Thursday after slipping into an open manhole near one of the swankiest shopping malls in the central part of the financial capital.

Samir Arora of Helios Capital is bullish on non-banking finance companies. He expects micro-finance lenders like SKS Microfinance to be multibaggers.

Samir Arora, fund manager with Helios Capital, spoke to NDTV about his outlook on stock markets and what it means to be a bull. He also highlights sectors that are likely to do well and those that may underperform over the medium-to-long term.

Government desperately needs to increase spending, he said.

Local hedge funds are eager to show off double-digit returns in the hopes of drawing wealthy Indians and succeeding where overseas players including HSBC Holdings PLC have failed. Local market knowledge and the lack of foreign currency exposure will favour domestic funds, but it remains to be seen whether Indians would embrace new investment styles...

Market regulator Sebi has disposed of the matter against Citigroup Global Markets Mauritius after it paid Rs 1 crore to settle the charges of not complying with market regulator's reporting standards for off-shore derivative instruments (ODIs).

Starting on Monday, parliament will begin considering the finance bill that includes the tax proposals but final details may be a month or more away, government sources have said, which could prolong the uncertainty and aggravate a balance of payments shortfall.
