Two retail stores in New York City may appear to be direct competitors, but this is an illusion.
Each store has a supply chain stretching from its shelves out to the world
Before a customer walks into the store, often the game is over based on the superior supply chain.

1/ History.
IRFC was established in 1986 as a dedicated market borrowing arm of the Indian Railways, registered with the RBI as an NBFC (Systematically Important)
But why do Railways need them, can't they directly ask for funds from the Ministry of Railways (MoR)?
2/ Here, enters the Government according to whom raising money from the open market is not the duty of MoR, it is the duty of the Ministry of Finance (MoF)
which didn't want to act as an intermediary & thus IRFC was born to raise money& fund the capital needs of Indian Railways.

Zoom Out. This is just a minor blip in this cycle

1/ From Godrej Properties Q2FY23 concall
Price acceleration (across all markets) is driven by the end consumer & not just investors. Interesting.
2/ Continuing on the above... Mr. Godrej is quite bullish on the real estate cycle picking up in the next 4-5 years. That's why they are doing a lot of asset-heavy deals these days & did massive QIPs.
Later, we might see a downcycle again. Still, good times are probably near.

1/ They have nearly 2000 crores unsold inventory as of the date
They are also planning to launch 6000 crores worth of projects in the next 18 months
If the demand scenario stays robust, the targets above should not be hard to meet
Target: Double Pre-sales every 2-2.5 years π

1. R&D Spends >>> Marketing Spends (The opposite is unsustainable, the last year was a bubble) 2. They have always followed an organic process of building deep capabilities over time which allows them to build great products
3. They are investing in medical technology, EVs, Robotics, Network Equipments, AI & ML 4. Future of SaaS? The market is great, however, too many people are chasing it (We need a period of consolidation as no business wants to work with 10s of thousands of companies, only 5-10)
5. Microsoft is 200x our size, and Salesforce at 40x; those are the milestones we want to reach (Global Leadership) 6. What he needs in investments? I look for problems to be solved
