Great to hear Mr Kamlesh Rao,CEO Kotak Securities, state at the @KotakSecurities #KotakMidCapMeet15 @GrandHyattMum that social media is probably the greatest source of banking developments these days. Eg the competition to cheques and debit cards is the mobile wallet.

Happy to accept the invitation to @KotakSecurities #KotakMidCapMeet15 tomorrow. I’m honoured to be one of only 2 finance bloggers to be invited, Mr Sandip Sabharwal being the other.
Looking Forward to hearing Mr Nilesh Shah, Mr Kenneth Andrade and hopefully Mr Sandip Sabharwal speak on mid-caps.
My friend and fellow blogger, Bhavikk Shah has already sent me his question to ask Mr Andrade , should I get the chance.
And I extend the same chance to all my readers. Please comment your questions below. Should I get the chance, I’ll try to get your queries answered by these ace investors.

The richest 1% of Indians own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data on global wealth from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6% of the country’s wealth, while the top 10% have 76.3%.

Since then the richest have managed to steadily increase their share of the pie, as the chart shows. This happened during the years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government from 2000-04, during the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government backed by the Left, during the second UPA tenure and now in the first year of the Modi government; the share of the top 1% has now crossed 50%.
