In this episode of Konversation With Kushal, host Kushal Lodha sits down with veteran value investor Naresh Kataria
Naresh explains how he uses simple Google Trends data to predict consumer credit demand months before corporate results drop. He maps out the second-order effects driving global markets-from how frozen geopolitical reserves sparked the gold bull run, to why India's LPSS scheme rerated power finance stocks, and the exact macro math behind crude oil’s danger zone for small-caps.
Key Frameworks Discovered:
1-Trend Tracking: Using localized search data as a leading indicator for corporate growth.
2-The Oil Pivot: Why rising crude oil squeezes small-caps while FMCG stays resilient.
3-Second-Order Geometry: Learning to connect global macro disruptions to domestic stock winners.
