Macro & Geopolitical Context
• Global tensions (US-China trade, Middle East instability) could affect raw material costs and logistics, impacting Technocrats and Credent.
• India’s manufacturing push (PLI schemes, Make in India) supports Technocrats and Skytech, but rising interest rates may pressure SME borrowing.
• Digital economy growth (ONDC rollout, AI adoption) favors ENS Enterprises, though global tech competition is intense.
• Healthcare demand post-pandemic strengthens Credent’s logistics model, but regulatory compliance is critical.
