AI could be the defining technology of our lifetime: Puneet Chandok, Microsoft India
I think it is already becoming part of daily life. For example, if you look at the co-pilots, which is an AI agent that Microsoft has across the Microsoft stack, it is part of my daily life.

Railways was among the last sectors to get re-rated due to the policy focus. Whether it was companies which are financing the expansion of railways or private sector companies which are making coaches, all of them have done extremely well. Given the fact the railways is likely to be the focus area, the long term story remains intact. Only thing is that one might end up selling the long term winner early because of the narrative. Rather than getting jittery, it would be better to create a hedge and stay with the stocks where there has been a big change in the fundamental ways things operate and the sector has a long runway.
