Festive season: Key investment opportunities for significant growth | Mint

As the festive season approaches, it’s a prime time to explore investment opportunities that can lead to significant growth. Investors have a unique chance to capitalize on opportunities that promise high returns.

Jyoti Bhandari, Founder and CEO of Lovak Capital, says that this period often sees increased consumer spending, making sectors like retail, technology, and travel particularly attractive for investment. “Consider buying shares of companies likely to benefit from this seasonal uptick in spending. Additionally, digital assets and fintech areas are thriving as more people engage in online transactions. Real estate can also be a smart investment if you focus on regions where demand spikes during festivities,” said Jyoti Bhandari.

Investing Smartly This Festive Season for Long-Term Growth

India’s growing presence in global markets is evident through its rising share in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The country will become the third-largest economy by 2027, driven by reforms, infrastructure development, and job creation. “With increasing disposable incomes, consumer spending is set to rise, further boosting economic growth. India’s macroeconomic stability enhances investor confidence, and initiatives like “Make in India” are solidifying its role as a manufacturing hub, especially in sectors like defense and electronics,” said Achal Darbari, Financial Wellness Partner, GALF, and CEO, Zambala.

Government reforms and improved infrastructure create an attractive investment environment. Rising tax and GST collections also provide stability against fluctuating foreign investments. “To leverage India’s growth, investors should consider mutual funds for diversified exposure, private banks for strong performance, and sectors like IT and healthcare for long-term potential. Key strategies include diversifying portfolios, using systematic investment plans, focusing on long-term gains, and staying updated on economic trends. Consulting a financial advisor can help align investment strategies with personal goals and risk tolerance,” said Achal Darbari.

By strategically investing in these areas, you can take advantage of the festive season’s economic boost and position yourself for long-term growth.
