## Core Philosophy

> "I am a bull on India. India has never been better — and the future is brighter."
> "I believe in management and I believe in India."
> "Buy when there is blood on the streets, even if it is your own."

- **India's structural mega-trend**: 1.4B people, rising middle class, digitization, formalization of economy
- **Macro bull combined with micro stock-picker**: India story is the backdrop; company quality is the bet
- Never bet against India's long-term growth
- Focus on companies that benefit from **India's rising domestic consumption**

## Macro Framework: The India Story
