As India's Q4 earnings cycle begins to show signs of recovery, Pramod Gubbi, Co-Founder of Marcellus Investment Managers, emphasizes the importance of selective investment strategies in a challenging market.

Gubbi's insights reflect a cautious yet optimistic approach, urging investors to focus on sectors where growth and value align, despite the complex macro backdrop.
