FII’re like rats in mines, if mines are running well they enjoy everything from workers lunch boxes to peanuts but if mines trembles they’re first to run away in their holes.
Indian Economy is slugged, world
is asking why? Even those who have nothing to do with falling rupee are talking
about it. Crash in share market is like defeated in cricket match with
Pakistan. Even if we doubt that it is fix, we enjoy the thrill. Those on
betting are sweating, those who are watchers are dumb struck to know what next.
We’re concerned… especially those who are in college for some professional
degrees… their placements is on stake. While some are in nail biting trauma
others are simply talking about it because it’s fascinating to talk about it.
News channels are running experts panel discussion about what will happen? Even
housewives are okhay if husbands are tuned to some business news channels. Why?
Rupee is falling with everything falling in India?
Over the 66 years, Indian economy
changed many faces. From being a strong agriculture based to manufacturing
based to now a service based economy. This third face is strangely different
from other two. Agro products and Industry products are something tangible; it
has weight, shape and size but services are basically a business of selling
‘feel good’ factor! Everything from mobile talk time to haircut to dining to
travel or watching movie and listening to music is a service. Tourism is one of
the finest example services in which all you take away back home is ‘the feel
good’ experience. 56% Indian revenue comes from service industry. I.e. 56%
economic transactions are directly based upon the ‘feel good’ psychology of
consumers found in Indian Territory.
‘Feeling good’ pays money to
bankers, industrialists and entrepreneurs. A natural transit relationship
applies here that if consumers are not feeling happy, businessmen are not
feeling happy and if businessmen are not happy than economy will naturally not
be happy! A sad economy is falling economy. It is basically a sad service based
economy is falling. Why are we sad? Well enough reasons but my question is from
the consumer in you not about your personal affairs. Why consumers in India are
sad? Or why money lenders are sad?
Service economy is a volatile
business. In Agriculture or Manufacturing the investor has to infuse money into
physical assets like land, machine, human resource, power and raw material etc.
but in service segment all you need is an idea to keep buyers satisfied. In
Agro & Manufacturing you can’t shutter down all that easily but in service
industry you can pack your bag and leave in just few hours. Investors are happy
in service economy in both ways. If market is flourishing they are making money
if market is crashing, they pack bag and pull out without any pinching loss… In
very high amount of international private money is invested in Indian service
Industry. Some private parties study Indian market and invest via share market
or other NBFC instruments they’re called FIIs (Foreign Indirect Investment).
They’re like rats in mines, if mines are running well they enjoy everything
from workers lunch boxes to peanuts but if mines trembles they’re first to run
away in their holes.
