the deal sizes and india have been growing and we have made larger deals in india.he 50 million to $100 million space by most of the global investors that want to do 300, 500 million transactions, which are far and few between. rishaad: let's just have a look at the space itself. the security and exchange board of india is looking to tighten up regulations on interpretive -- on alternative investment funds. how does this affect you? >> regulations are always helpful. tightening regulations will allow the market to expand because investors will be confident the industry is regulated and somebody is looking over on the soldiers -- shoulders. the whole asset management business is based on trust and measures. that is the key aspect on which all the asset managers have to focus on. we think tighter regulations will only help expansion of the market by infusing confidence in the clients mind. rishaad: i want to see what you are doing in terms of funds. you haven't raised a real estate fund for quite a while. do you have plans to do another one given how it's going great?

that's a market that you otherwise only find in india, india. and plus, if you know china works according to different rules and what you're sometimes difficult to navigate free. absolutely. so and then it's just, it's a communist it system with a government that works hard to ensure its own company is you are adding advantage of the item of the name and then the 4th instead of them. so thing, and that definitely makes life harder for foreign companies. actually it, india has plenty to offer, including a lot of tech savvy young people with an above average education in the i t industry 4 point oh, the math digitalization of manufacturing is well underway. this factory belonging to german automation supplier vice is among those offering customized solutions. the 1st breakthrough for our solution factory was securing our 1st engineer to all the projects which was completely customized. i spoke to somebody climbing the best part of this project was the entire solution was designed and developed locally here. and why is india solution factory? of co

what is clear in india is a few large groups have gained heft relative to others.t bad, being big and political influential, that becomes problematic. what is worrisome is that if you build national champions on the basis of tariff protections, as well as privileged access to licenses, permissions, etc, it is dangerous if outside investors think the only way they can make their way is if they have an alliance with one of the big players. do you believe indian�*s data as a whole even on things such as gdp is is credible? i would not doubt the intentions of the organisations collecting the data. are the data timely? are they sufficiently accurate to make decisions? there, i think there are more questions, for example, our data on employment, the best data from private providers, you are flying blind if you don't know what the true employment level is and you cannot actually have a proper political debate so, i think we need better data to inform us but we also need to allow the data to be used by researchers, we cannot suppress it and hold it if the early signs will
