April 14, 2025

- ASHOK KUMAR Head of LKW-India. He can be reached at ceolotus@hotmail.com (Views expressed here are personal)

The lyrics of this song proposed living for the moment and not being afraid of making a change. So, in this fortnight's column, I propose to take you, my valued readers, on a Giant-Wheel ride... 'Right Now' across our financial markets.
