Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, October 15, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started. Thanks to gains in shares of select banking and IT heavyweights, including HDFC Bank and Infosys, Indian stock market benchmarks- the Sensex and the Nifty 50- resumed their upward march on Monday. The Sensex rose 0.73 per cent, while the Nifty 50 settled 10.66 per cent, higher. Vinay Dube, previously at the helm during tumultuous times at Jet Airways and Go First, now leads Akasa Air, facing similar challenges with its fleet of Boeing 737 Max aircraft. Akasa Air, aiming to carve a niche in India's aviation market, heavily relies on this model, notorious for its operational issues, despite its economic purchase price. The airline, commanding a modest 4.5% market share, seeks to establish itself against the dominating duo of IndiGo and Air India, which together control over 90% of the market. Akasa's strategy involves mirroring successful practices from industry leaders like IndiGo, which thrived on a sale and leaseback model that Dube intends to replicate. Nehal Chaliawala and Mihir Mishra write on Vinay Dube's plans to take on the Indigo-Air India duopoly in India's aviation market. Class actions are gaining momentum in India, with recent cases against Ola Electric and Jindal Poly Films showcasing their rising prominence. A class action allows people with similar grievances to file a single lawsuit, making it a powerful tool for addressing collective issues. The rise in class actions is largely due to growing awareness among consumers and shareholders, facilitated by technology and easy access to information. More people are now using these legal options to hold companies accountable. The digital age has also amplified opportunities for collective grievances, especially with the collection of vast amounts of personal data. Mint's Krishna Yadav explains the rise of class actions in India.  Becoming a cricketer in India can lead to vast riches. For Suryakumar Yadav, the money doesn't stop rolling in. Gaurav Laghate writes about how leading India to a recent T20 series win against Bangladesh has bettered Yadav's financial prospects. Yadav's endorsement fee has jumped by a whopping 350 per cent, with deals worth 2 crore rupees each. Among companies shelling out this money for him are ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Reebok, and Lenskart. Sky, as he is fondly called, is now rubbing shoulders with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the other scions of cricket endorsement deals. In September, India witnessed a sharp rise in inflation to a nine-month high of 5.49 per cent, surpassing the expected 5.1 per cent. This increase was largely driven by a significant hike in vegetable prices, which surged due to a dissipating base effect and unfavorable weather conditions. This unexpected jump underscores the Reserve Bank of India's cautious stance on not cutting the repo rate. With this spike, the inflation rate for the July-September quarter settled at 4.2 per cent, slightly above RBI's projection of 4.1 per cent, suggesting that rate cuts might be postponed to 2025. Payal Bhattacharya reports on how September's inflation surge proves RBI was right to delay a rate cut. Rocket science is generally hard, which is why any achievements made in this vast and expensive field should be celebrated. Elon Musk's SpaceX has innovated space travel by using mechanical 'chopsticks' to catch one of its rocket boosters mid air so it can be reused for other rockets. Leslie D'monte writes that this would reduce the costs and turnaround time of future rocket launches. Moreover, this achievement could boost Musk's financial and strategic positions by lowering launch costs and speeding up operations.  Primer: How Musk catches rockets with ‘chopsticks'Suryakumar Yadav: India's Mr 360 is changing the game for brand endorsementsMint Explainer: Why Class Action Suits in India Are on the RiseHow Akasa Air's Vinay Dube is taking on the IndiGo-Air India duopolyIn charts: September inflation proves why RBI was right to delay a rate cut

Up until the 1990s, the Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) was the dominant model used to explain market returns. But in 1992 Nobel Laureate Eugene Fama and his partner, Ken French said that market returns can be explained by three factors namely: 1. Value: the tendency of cheap stocks to outperform costly stocks 2. Size: the tendency of small cap stocks to outperform large cap stocks 3. Market factor: the risk premium of the market over the risk-free rate, like a government bond. Over a period of time, other factors like quality, momentum, and low volatility were added. Institutions were the first to adopt factor investing but with the popularity of ETFs, around 2010, factor ETFs also known as smart beta ETFs started becoming popular in the United States. Given that Indian markets are still very young compared to the US, we just had our first wave of factor or smart beta funds around 2017. But in the last 3 years, there has been an explosion in factor ETFs and mutual funds. But investors often think of factor investing as a guaranteed way to generate higher returns than the market. They often look at the historical returns of factors like value, momentum, quality, and low volatility and think that these factor funds will always outperform Nifty, which isn't true. Having said that, factor investing can play a very important role in your portfolio, and it's important to know how to use these funds in your asset allocation. This week on the show, we caught up with Sankaranarayanan Krishnan, a quant fund manager at Motilal who has rich experience designing factor models and managing factor funds. In this conversation, we start with the absolute basics of factors investing and talk about two major factors — low volatility (low vol) and momentum. We talk about why these factors exist and the explanations, return expectations, and how to use them in an asset allocation framework. In this conversation, Sankar talks about: How did he become a quantitative fund manager What are factors What drives the returns of factors Will factors continue working forward? Factor performance in India Are factors free lunch? Introduction to low volatility and momentum Why do low volatility and momentum anomalies exist Does the macroeconomic environment matter for factors? What would make low volatility and momentum stop working? Various approaches to implement low volatility and momentum strategies and what investors should know Are factors replacement for active funds? Factors funds, diversification and asset allocation Will factors always outperform marketcap-weighted indices? His personal investing philosophy Career advice for someone who wants to pursue opportunities in quantitative finance Book recommendations. This was an absolute masterclass on factor investing, and we hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we did recording it. We have an upcoming episode on the other two factors—value and quality. We also have an introductory note on smart beta funds on Varsity, do check it out.

0:00:00 Introduction Richard Saunders 0:03:51 Be Rationable - An interview with Abhijit Chanda from India Are you curious? Are you always questioning things that you see around you? Are you looking for answers, but most of them just aren't convincing enough? The Be Rationable podcast wants to know what works and what doesn't, and who's right and who's not. There's a problem though. A lot of what we find in this quest is either based on bad evidence, bad ideas, propaganda or just misinformation. https://www.berationable.com/ 0:22:42 COVID-19 and Quack Claims At this time of a world-wide crisis, we see the best and the worst of humanity. While some people put their lives on the line in the fight agaist COVID-19, others keep spreading conspiracy theories and very bad health advice. We look at some examples of stupidity and wilful ignorance. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8184583/Anti-vaxxer-Meryl-Dorey-leader-calls-followers-storm-hospitals-coronavirus-lockdown.html 0:33:45 Logical Fallacies. With Michelle Bijkersma This week Michelle looks at "Begging the Question". Also known as "Circular Reasoning", This is when the answer to the question is implied in the wording of the question itself. The premise of the question and the foregone conclusion support each other in a circular way without referring to any external actual evidence. A Logical Fallacy is an error we can make in reasoning, but it usually crops up when we are discussing or arguing our point of view. 0:40:33 Maynard's Spooky Action This week Maynard interviews one of the original Skeptic Zone reporters, Dr Rachael Dunlopfrom "Dr Rachie Reports".

In the 32nd episode of ThoughtSpace, Yamini Aiyar (President and Chief Executive, CPR) speaks to Sanjoy Hazarika (Director, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative and Honorary Research Professor, CPR) about the implications of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam. The passage of the CAA was met by a fierce reaction in the northeastern part of the country, particularly in Assam. Assam has also witnessed the National Register of Citizens or the NRC process. What were the reasons behind this process and how did it unfold? Why are the people of Assam protesting against the CAA and are these protests different from that in the rest of India?

MC Vikram grew up in a very traditional, South Indian (specifically Malayalee) household where education and church were emphasized greatly. He developed a love for comedy at an early age and decided to take the risk, step out of his cultural comfort zone, and create his own material. Fear of how his content would be received led him to create anonymously, so he could just step away if the reaction wasn’t what he wanted. His leap of faith was worth it as his songs circulated around the world and became extremely popular, changing his life forever. “Welcome to India” Are you afraid to open yourself up to criticism? MC created the parody song, “Welcome to India,” back in 2002, which was the pre-social media generation and an entirely different world. Now, he’s making a comeback with a new generation. His comedy is something he loves doing, not just for himself, but to bring laughter and happiness to others. If you think about your next step too much, then you open yourself up to “analysis paralysis.” MC says that not everything you do will be a success, and the moment you put something into the world, you open yourself up to criticism. The key is to keep going. TWEET: “Stop chasing money and start chasing happiness.” #chasingdreams Outside the box Are you comfortable in stepping “outside the box”? MC says that every culture has its expected norms, but Indian culture especially has strict expectations for achievement. His decision to use comedy, stereotypical accents, and rap music to highlight Indian culture was definitely outside the box of these cultural norms. Even though “Welcome to India” was clean, catchy, and something Indian kids could be proud of, MC had to endure his share of criticism. His intention was never to bring a negative light to Indian heritage, but to step out and take a risk with the talents God has given him. He believes that sharing your talents can lead to great things! TWEET: “You have to think about failure as part of the formula for success.” #chasingdreams Enjoy the failure! Are you afraid of failure? MC wishes that people knew how to take baby steps in accomplishing their goals and didn’t dumb down the capabilities that they have. The fear of stepping outside of a comfort zone and the fear of failure keep many people in professions that they think are safe and secure, but they aren’t finding happiness. Failure is part of success, and it doesn’t define you! Stop fearing failure, take the steps forward, and enjoy the risk! TWEET: “Some people aren’t living their true selves, but are living what’s defined for them.” #chasingdreams   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [2:39] How MC got in the game [5:00] A flashback to 2002 [6:20] The fusion of comedy and rap [8:35] Respect for the Indian culture [10:50] Praise and criticism [12:33] Making his dreams happen  [14:30] Working on a comeback [16:45] How MC kept going [17:15] Being outside the box [20:25] Why MC takes the risk [22:43] The intent in moving forward [24:37] What MC wishes people knew [29:15] Don’t compare yourself to others!
