Speaking of stock markets, Raul Shah, Research Analyst at Equitymaster, shares his views on IndusInd Bank. After admitting to a Rs 2,100 crore treasury loss and cleaning up its microfinance loan book, the IndusInd bank appears to be shifting its focus from aggressive growth to asset quality and stability.

The key question now is whether the improvement of fundamentals have tilted the risk-to-reward equation in favour of investors, making it a must-watch stock for portfolios.

Watch to know more.
