India remains a bright spot and we there’s no dark cloud of recession on the Indian horizon, believes Sushant Bhansali, the chief executive of Ambit Asset Management.

Seasoned for over 19 years in asset management and capital markets, Bhansali foresees the Indian economy to surpass an annual growth rate of 7 percent in FY23 on the back of strong services and revival of agriculture.
