Jyoti Vaswani, Chief Investment Officer at Canara HSBC Life Insurance, warns that near-term challenges for corporate earnings may affect equity markets, despite a robust medium-term outlook for the Indian market. Concerns arise from weak demand in the auto sector, slowing bank credit growth, and stagnant FMCG volume growth. In the IT sector, she favors large-cap companies, noting that many are trading above historical valuations, suggesting that much of the sector's recovery has already been reflected in stock prices.
