From the CEO’s desk "Direct listing overseas without the need to list in India is a massive benefit for start-ups, high-tech and biotech, metals and minerals etc., which are better understood by investors in specific markets overseas. This will reverse flight of capital and off-shoring of Indian companies. I believe this will help India go from approximately 50 to 500 such companies in the next five years." Vishesh C. Chandiok, CEO, Grant Thornton India |
