Let’s start with how wealth is going to be created in the coming years.

The report claims that value is migrating from atoms (businesses dealing in physical matter) to bits (businesses that are digital in nature) across the globe.
3/n
How are companies classified as atoms and bits?

- Atoms - smallest element of physical matter (eg. cos in cement, autos, pharma, steel, etc sectors)
- Bits - smallest unit of information that can be stored in digital form (eg. Google, Yahoo, eBay, Oyo, Airbnb, Zomato, etc)

Hello everyone👋Last week, ITC hosted its 1st ever investor call, but didn't include what existing shareholders wanted to hear- Concrete demerger plans.

A 🧵on- "Will the apparent value unlocking opportunity in ITC, really unlock value"? Image
First, look at ITC's segment wise contribution in total sales & EBIT:

- Cig. sales consistently declining since the last ~7 yrs.
-Rev. contribution of ex-cigarette segments is significant but the EBIT contribution is not material. Image
Management is planning to demerge & list- Hotel, FMCG-others & Infotech businesses separately.

This is being conceived as value unlocking for existing shareholders because of notion that there will be multiple expansion in individual segments.

Imagine leaving a high-flying career in US and returning to India to build software. In the 90s. Building digital maps for a complicated nation when no one uses them. Competing with Google. Almost winding up a few times. Finally succeeding.

A thread on MapmyIndia (MMI).
1/n
2/n
Maps are synonymous with Google Maps, so what’s special about MMI?

For one, they chose their battles carefully. When Google Maps entered India in 2005, MMI made a choice - to focus on the enterprise segment (B2B and B2B2C) instead of taking on the tech giant & burning cash.
3/n

Over two decades, MMI has mapped over 98% of India's road network, 10.5 mn locations at street level across 7.5 lakh+ cities & villages.

They claim their mapping is deeper & more accurate than Google, which shows in their growing & profitable B2B clientele.

In an address today at 9 AM, the prime minister repealed the three farm laws that have long been a subject of political debate.

A thread explaining what were the three laws and what were the proposed changes and pros/ cons.

Agriculture is the backbone of rural economy - supports ~70% of rural households. However, far from efficient - crop yields lower by 30-40% vs global standards (lower output per acre), only 45% of sown area is irrigated & agri-capex has remained dismal at 2.2-2.3% of GDP.
3/n
This limits production. Also, there are inefficiencies in the distribution process - too many layers between farmer and consumer, high pilferage and wastage due to poor warehousing and cold-storage infra, and non adherence to MSP, among others.

India has delivered the highest returns amongst Asian peers: 147% since March 2020 lows (29% in CY 2021 YTD).
Ex-Asia, it has been outpaced only by the net energy exporters of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia and Kuwait, which gain from rise in energy prices.
3/
CLSA cites 10 key risks for India:

#1 High energy prices:
India imports most of its energy needs (83%, 56%, and 30% of its oil, gas & coal consumption resp.)

Their premise is that Indian equities underperform when avg of real coal and oil prices exceed $100. We are there.
