Do you know:

• How geopolitical events such as the Bangladesh crisis affect specific sectors?
• What factors make clusters such as Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Indore most attractive for lending?
• Which pockets, in addition to the most attractive clusters, rank high on investment potential?
• In the chemicals sector, which cluster in western India is expected to outperform north India?
• In the auto parts sector, why is a cluster in south India expected to outperform the one in north India?

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), a key segment of the economy with significant contribution to gross domestic product, employment generation, exports and lending, are poised for healthy growth in years to come.

However, the challenge lies in spotting the sectors and clusters that are likely to offer the desired risk-adjusted returns. And that entails tracking the performance and riskiness of sectors and clusters on a timely basis.
