The inaugural ET Alpha Wealth Summit is scheduled for June 4 in Mumbai, bringing together some of India's most influential voices in investing and wealth management. According to reports from The Economic Times, the event aims to address the single biggest question on Dalal Street right now: Where will the next phase of alpha come from? At a time when investors are navigating market uncertainty, evolving AI trends and opportunities across different asset classes, the summit will focus on wealth creation and preservation strategies. The summit will feature a major debate on "Amritkaal or AI-kaal? India's Next Decade," featuring Vikas Khemani and Saurabh Mukherjea. As reported by The Economic Times, this discussion seeks to address a question increasingly confronting investors: how will India navigate the AI revolution, and what does it mean for businesses, jobs and capital markets? The timing is particularly relevant as global technology giants continue to pour billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, data centres, chips and software platforms, making AI one of the most powerful investment themes in global markets.
The summit will feature prominent industry leaders including S Naren, CIO of ICICI Prudential AMC, known for his contrarian investing philosophy; Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, one of the leading voices in India's mutual fund industry; Saurabh Mukherjea, founder of Marcellus Investment Managers and a strong advocate of long-term investing; Samir Arora, founder and fund manager at Helios Capital, recognised for his insights into domestic and global markets; Nilesh Shah, MD of Kotak Mahindra AMC; and Rajeev Thakkar, CIO and Director at PPFAS Mutual Fund, among several other prominent industry voices.
As reported by The Economic Times, the discussions will address critical questions facing investors today: How should portfolios evolve in a rapidly changing world? Where are the opportunities in India's long-term growth story? And how should investment strategies adapt as technology and AI reshape economies? The summit promises to be a masterclass focused on portfolio allocation strategies and emerging opportunities across asset classes. Rohit Srivastava, Founder of Indiacharts & Strike Money, believes Indian markets have likely formed a bottom and could gradually move higher over the next few months, with Nifty potentially heading towards 25,800. He remains bullish on Bank Nifty after a technical breakout and sees strength returning to broader markets through improving liquidity. However, the debate becomes particularly relevant as the rupee has come under pressure, global bond yields remain elevated, and investors are closely tracking the outlook for export-oriented sectors, particularly IT services.
The summit's focus on India's next decade of growth comes at a crucial time when the country faces both opportunities and challenges from AI advancement. According to The Economic Times, while the country has emerged as a global technology and services hub, AI has the potential to reshape traditional outsourcing and IT services models that have long been key drivers of earnings and employment. Investors are increasingly debating whether Indian technology companies can successfully adapt from labour-led growth to AI-led value creation. Beyond corporate earnings, AI is also raising important questions about the future of work, as automation becomes more capable and concerns grow over its potential impact on white-collar jobs across technology, back-office operations and other knowledge-based sectors. While many believe AI will create new opportunities and industries, others argue that the pace of disruption could outstrip the pace of job creation, making it one of the defining economic debates of the decade.
