1) Is demand perk-up in India ahead of #Diwali2020 for real? In a yr when #COVID19 devoured eco & blighted job mkt, the big Q is - is this real eco recovery or just pent up demand? My two cents on understanding India's demand uptick @EconomicTimes

2) Not mere sleight of hand- tide seems to be turning for real. In Oct - purchasing managers’ index 4 mfg grew fastest in 13 yrs; services sector expanded fr 1st time since Covid hit; GST collection up to Rs 1.05 trln - 1st time in 8 months; UPI transaction at record 2bn-mark.
3) Home sales, power generation & rail freight signal green shoots of demand revival. Car sales r doing well. Online sales hav been robust. 1st week of festive sales (15th-21st Oct) saw 55% y-o-y growth at $4.1 bn across platforms agst $2.7 bn last yr - Redseer.
