MRSS NEWSLETTER
Mr. Raj Sharma
-Chairman MRSS India
QSQT - the acronym of a famous Blockbuster Hindi movie released about 3 decades ago in 1988. It was
also the year in which SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) was established to deal with the
development and regulation of the securities market and investor protection.’ Quarter sey Quarter tak’ is
what listed companies refer to the quarterly reporting in a lighter vein. MRSS as an organization has
always believed in elaborate communication with all it’s stakeholders viz – clients, colleagues, partners,
investors, analysts, etc. ‘murMuRSS’ is our version of QSQT – a quarterly electronic newsletter.
The dictionary defines ‘murmur’ as a low continuous background noise OR a softly spoken or inaudible
utterance. This e-letter is exactly going to amplify MRSS’ happenings and provide a communication
platform for it’s extended family across the globe.
For the benefit of those who are not aware of RSS Feed, I will try and edify here. RSS (Rich Site
Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs
and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. RSS solves a
problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows one to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest
content from the sites one is interested in. The tagline for our e-letter is a play on RSS Feed as
‘murMuRSS’ attempts to replicate the very same functionality and therefore “It is mRSS Feed o’clock”
I would like to forewarn everybody that this is not to be seen as a formal corporate update and therefore
we are not going to have any standard template for the same. It will be a free flowing unstructured
document. Some of it may be repetitive since it would have been in the press already and some of it may
not.
We hope that this initiative is welcomed by one and all. Since this is the inaugural edition, we are keen to
receive to any feedbacks and suggestions that our audience may have.
Catch you in the next Quarter. Cheers till then !!!

managers) in the Conference. The conference provided an ideal platform for companies to interact with
some of the brightest fund managers and presents an opportunity to hear great minds exchange views on
businesses and sectors. Over the years, the Edelweiss Conference became a prominent event on the
calendar of leading corporate and investors. The resounding success of the previous conferences is ample
testimony of the event’s efficacy.
The heart of India’s economic growth lies in the acceleration in consumption. Historically, India’s
economic growth has always been accompanied with the devil of sky high inflation. On the contrary,
during periods of controlled inflation, India’s consumption has shown remarkable growth. With a low
disposable income, the impact of lower inflation is key to consumption revival. Add large income triggers
like 7th pay commission, HRA allowance and lower borrowing costs to a disinflationary phase and you
have a perfect foundation for consumption boom. We believe such a boom is ahead of us and it is worth
exploring. Global tailwinds from a reviving advance economy block and government’s commitments to
revive the ailing investment growth opens up opportunities in export driven sectors and select
infrastructure themes. This trinity of consumption, exports and government capex throws open a plethora
of high growth sectors like apparels, dairy, building materials, auto ancillary, textiles, commodities, steel
pipes and roads construction. At the Edelweiss India investor conference it was intended to showcase
pathways to benefits from these themes and prepare for
what lies ahead.
EMERGENT INDIA BY B&K

opportunity to interact with Institutional Investors across
Mutual Funds, Insurance companies, FIIs and Portfolio
Management Services. The layout of the event was in the
form of one-on-one and group meetings with investors.

INDIA SME DAY
INDIA SME INSURANCE SUMMIT
SME Chamber of India is organizing National & Annual Conference -“India SME Insurance Summit” with the theme:
“Importance of Insurance to Manage Risks & Grow Better Business” on 3rdNovember, 2017 at Hotel Sahara Star,
Mumbai. This Conference is a unique platform for various stakeholders to promote and market
insurance products & services amongst SMEs to manage their risks & grow better business in various segments.
Many SMEs from manufacturing and allied industrial & business sectors are not aware of importance and benefits
of various general, life and health insurance products, therefore they face tremendous problems & monetary loss
during natural calamities, industrial accidents, loss of life and other catastrophe incidents. SMEs will get an
opportunity to understand the fundamental importance of cost effective risk management and the role insurance
can play to help manage the unpredictable risks faced. Insurance is a necessary investment and not an ancillary
cost. Insured SMEs are less vulnerable to financial losses in the face of a disaster. Insurers can be an SME’s
strategic partners to help protect their assets such as reputation, employees, equipment and Technology as well
as offer strategic advice in risk management and coping with tough times in the aftermath of a natural disaster or
industrial accident. This will also be useful to highlight the hurdles & issues arises during the settlement of the
claims and the insurance benefits.
Indian small & medium enterprises are of key importance to Indian
economy, contributing significantly to the GDP and employing the 2nd
largest workforce in the country after agriculture. This made a great
opportunity to organize“India SME Day”, to showcase the sector in
general and interesting companies like Majestic Research Services
and Solution Ltd.in particular. The conference provided an excellent
platform to put forward the key challenges being faced by the sector in
general efforts being made to resolve them. The speakers included
senior management of companies across the sectors. that investor
participation in our flagship investor conferences held in India,
Singapore & Hong Kong has been extremely strong since the last ten
years and is attended by all major investors in the region.
