This edition of Forbes India is about investing in the new fiscal. It guides the readers on a query that must be bothering them with polls around the corner: Whether they should invest before or after the elections. The cover story is on a product that mirrors the market volatility, the systematic investment plan (SIP). That apart there is a fintech package as well as interviews with Mark Mobius and William Stephens. Also, watch out for an interesting photo feature on tribes across the world who are reconciling with the ‘outsiders’.
