Dear All,

Domestic investors have also reposed more confidence: 

• Rights issues too climbed to four-year high in FY15, 50% more than last year.
• Firms raised Rs 6,750 crore in 2014-15 from 18 issues;
• more firms than last year took the opportunity to float rights issues to raise capital by tapping on to their existing shareholders.
  

Cheers,
G.S.Autee

Raining Funds - Message is Loud and Clear.

• Venture capital funds total to Rs 15,600 crore into Indian start-ups this year; surpasses inflow in all of 2014 ; thanks to increasing smartphone adoption and Internet penetration.
• Foreign Policy magazine's Baseline Profitability Index points to India being the top destination for investment in 2015. It goes on to show that investor perception remains good about India.
• The economic diplomacy space here has considerably expanded.
• Sensex has increased from roughly 24,700 points in May 2014 to near the 27,500 points mark at present.
• India's FDI inflows jumped 22 percent to reach $34 billion in 2014.
  
• India also regained the top slot in remittances with overseas Indians sending back a staggering $70 billion in 2014, according to World Bank estimates. 

What has worked well?

• India's increasing foreign engagement where it remains a beneficiary of official bilateral aid
• The reform process has to be pursued more aggressively and quickly.

What further is expected?

• India needs to improve its competitiveness by making it easier to start, operate and wind down a business operation in India. 
• Also to compete infrastructure, tax rates and skills need to be bettered and much will be dependent on India's execution capability.
