Still overweight on IT and financials but have tweaked allocations: Venugopal Garre
‘We tweaked the allocations through the last 12 to 18 months. The first tweak primarily was to not really take a broad-based IT call. Exactly 18 months back, our call would have been to buy anything in IT because we were fairly confident of the overall environment.
