Kevin Carter, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of EMQQ Global and the INQQ Fund joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss India’s rapidly evolving e-commerce sector and stock market trends following his recent visit to the country. Carter emphasized the explosive growth of "quick commerce", a disruptive retail model delivering goods in under 10 minutes, which is expanding at over 100% annually. This trend is reshaping India’s retail sector, challenging both traditional mom-and-pop (kirana) stores and established e-commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart. Beyond urban centers, investment in second- and third-tier cities is surging, with mutual fund participation from these regions rising from just a few percent to nearly 20%. India’s stock market has shown strong long-term growth, but recent corrections have impacted small- and mid-cap stocks. Meanwhile, retail trading activity has skyrocketed, with brokerage accounts growing from 20 million to 170 million in just eight years. Carter also touched on U.S.-China-India relations, noting that potential policy shifts under a Donald Trump administration could influence global investment sentiment. With India’s digital economy rapidly expanding, Carter sees significant long-term investment opportunities driven by rising consumer wealth, financial inclusion, and a tech-savvy population. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #EmergingMarkets #Investing #Technology #GrowthOpportunities #India #China #EMQQGlobal #TechInvestment #DigitalTransformation #GlobalEconomy #InvestmentStrategies #MarketInsights #KevinCarter #FinancialNews #EconomicOutlook #FutureInvesting #MarketTrends #EmergingEconomies #InvestorTips #MarketAnalysis #InvestmentPortfolio #DigitalIndia #TechBoom #MarketWatch #EconomicProspects
