India vs. China: A Comparative Analysis

The podcast highlights the contrasting investment narratives of India and China, emphasizing why India often feels oversold despite its robust performance. Sarab Lokhirjia points out that over the past 10 years, India has delivered dollar returns of approximately 10%, outperforming many other markets. He argues that while Chinese markets have received a larger share of foreign capital, Indian markets have demonstrated comparable or better long-term growth. This disparity in investment narratives is attributed to India's ability to effectively market itself to Western investors, leading to a reevaluation of the capital flows toward India post-COVID.
