    KP Group & IIM Ahmedabad Celebrate Graduation of 28 Leaders from a First-of-its-Kind 11-Month Executive Programme

    Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 16: In a landmark step toward building one of India’s strongest leadership pipelines in the renewable energy sector, KP Group, a leading player in solar, wind, hybrid, and green hydrogen infrastructure, has successfully concluded an 11-month executive leadership programme in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA). A total of 28 future leaders from the same organisation, who looked forward to serving as the second line of leadership, graduated at the convocation, making this one of the most memorable leadership programmes at India’s premier management institute.

    Designed as a deep capability-building initiative, the programme blended IIMA’s academic rigor with real-time strategic assignments across KP Group’s businesses. Participants underwent intensive modules on strategy, governance, operations, decision-making, and cross-functional leadership, followed by project work tied to live organisational challenges.

    Speaking at the ceremony, Dr Faruk G. Patel, Chairman & Managing Director of KP Group, described the programme as a defining moment in the organisation’s growth journey.

    “This programme reflects our commitment to shaping leaders who can drive KP Group’s next phase of expansion. It is perhaps the first time that so many participants from a single organisation have undergone such an extensive learning experience at IIM Ahmedabad. I sincerely thank Dean Prof. Sunil Maheshwari, Prof. Sanjay Verma, Prof Asha Kaul, Prof. Chitra Singla, Prof. Sourav Borah, Prof Sobesh Kumar Agarwalla, Prof. Abhiman Das, and Prof. Sanket Mohapatra for crafting and delivering this exceptional programme.”

    Dr. Patel also announced that the collaboration will continue as an ongoing capability-building initiative, adding, “While this cohort concludes today, the learning culture at KP Group continues. Every three months, IIM Ahmedabad faculty will conduct sessions within our organisation to ensure our teams remain updated with the strategies and skills needed for a rapidly evolving sector.” 

    Also, during the ceremony, Prof. Sunil Maheshwari, Dean, IIM Ahmedabad, expressed pride in the collaboration, stating, “As we conclude this cohort, it gives me immense joy to have partnered with KP Group for this programme. We truly enjoyed teaching this group. As a faculty member, it was inspiring to see future leaders not only upgrade their skills but also apply them meaningfully to drive positive change within the organisation. The benefits of this learning journey are already visible today.” 

    To this, Prof. Sanjay Verma, Programme Chair at IIMA, reflected on the commitment of the participants, and said, “At the beginning of any corporate programme, a faculty naturally wonders what the learners will be like. But after the very first session, all our worries disappeared. Each participant was sincere, hardworking, and showed a strong desire to grow. As we conclude this programme, I feel proud to have taught such a dedicated and promising cohort of leaders.” 

    Graduating leaders shared that studying at IIM Ahmedabad had long been a dream — one made possible by Dr. Faruk Patel’s vision and KP Group’s investment in developing its people. They highlighted that the programme significantly enhanced their strategic thinking, decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration.

    With India’s renewable energy sector rapidly expanding and facing complex regulatory and technological transitions, KP Group’s structured leadership development model positions the organisation to lead with capability, agility, and innovation.

    By embedding world-class academic frameworks directly into its leadership development processes, KP Group is building a future-ready leadership pipeline to power its solar, wind, hybrid, and green hydrogen businesses.

    The initiative is poised to become a reference model for companies across India’s energy and infrastructure landscape seeking to invest in long-duration, university-led leadership development.

Jaju, Managing Director of Sumeet Industries Limited said, “This captive wind power investment complements our existing solar power plant and is expected to reduce our electricity costs over the medium to long term.

  • Indian Rupee Depreciation Hits 91: Stark Warning for Equities

    Indian Rupee Depreciation Hits 91: Stark Warning for Equities

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 16: The Indian rupee has crossed 91 against the U.S. dollar. That single number is now echoing across bonds, stocks, and investor confidence.

    What began as a currency wobble has morphed into a broader market warning. Both foreign and domestic investors are reassessing risk, and equities are feeling the heat.

    Indian equities are clearly feeling the strain. Both benchmark indices opened lower and never found their footing through the session. The SENSEX slid more than 500 points intraday, while the NIFTY 50 slipped below the psychologically important 26,000 mark. Selling pressure wasn’t selective either. Midcap and smallcap stocks joined the fall, underlining how risk appetite has thinned across the board.

    Three forces are doing the damage. Foreign institutional investors continue to pull money out, draining liquidity at a time when the market needs stability. The rupee’s slide to a fresh record low past 91 to the dollar is amplifying concerns around returns and capital preservation. Add weak global cues, with Wall Street under pressure and Asian markets opening soft ahead of key U.S. data, and the mood turns defensive fast. Most sectors are in the red, with private banks, metals, and IT bearing the brunt.

    The Rupee Breaks a Psychological Barrier

    The Indian rupee touched a fresh record low, breaching the 91-per-dollar mark. This is not just another data point. It’s a psychological crack in a currency long marketed as Asia’s most stable.

    Pressure on the rupee is colliding with tightening domestic liquidity. Foreign investors are wary of currency losses. Local investors are uneasy about funding stress. Together, they are pulling risk appetite out of the market.

    According to Systematix Institutional Equities, the rupee’s 6.6 percent slide this year is not a cyclical blip. It is the culmination of a decade-long, carefully managed depreciation. Since trading near 48/USD in 2012, the rupee has lost roughly 90 percent of its value.

    Despite aggressive intervention, stability has been more cosmetic than real.

    From Managed Stability to Structural Drift

    Since 2017, the rupee has depreciated at an average of about four percent annually. That pace, analysts say, may no longer hold.

    Systematix argues that structural weaknesses, fading RBI firepower, and a more protectionist global trade environment point to a new reality. A 6–7 percent annual depreciation may become the norm. On that trajectory, USD/INR could drift toward 100 over the next 12 to 24 months.

    That’s not a forecast built on panic. It’s arithmetic layered on structural stress.

    The rupee has also underperformed both the broad U.S. dollar index and emerging market currency benchmarks. In other words, this isn’t just about a strong dollar. It’s about India-specific fragility.

    Why the Pressure Refuses to Ease

    The pressure intensified after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements. Currency weakness accelerated in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, even as the RBI stepped in.

    A widening current account deficit appears to be the key culprit.

    Emkay Global points to a two-front assault on the rupee. Exports weakened in Q4 as shipments were front-loaded earlier in the year before tariffs kicked in. At the same time, festival-season consumption boosted imports.

    Add elevated gold imports to the mix and the external account starts to groan.

    This is where the story turns uncomfortable.

    Current Account, Capital Flows, and a Fragile Balance

    Historically, the INR/USD pair has moved in lockstep with India’s current account deficit. As the CAD widens, the rupee tends to weaken. Capital flows usually offset this. Not anymore.

    Capital inflows, once India’s shock absorber, have thinned dramatically. Total capital flows as a share of GDP have collapsed from 8.8 percent in FY08 to just 0.4 percent in FY25.

    Even more striking is foreign direct investment. Net FDI as a percentage of GDP has shrunk to 0.02 percent in FY25. That’s the lowest reading on record.

    Yes, the CAD excluding transfers has narrowed over the past decade, falling from 4.1 percent to 2.1 percent after peaking at 6.7 percent in FY13. But Systematix offers a blunt diagnosis. This is not evidence of external strength.

    Instead, it reflects chronic domestic demand weakness, masked by headline growth numbers and a persistent absence of private investment.

    In plain terms, India isn’t exporting its way to strength. It’s importing less because demand is soft.

    Why Indian Rupee Depreciation Matters for Equities

    This is where equity investors need to pay attention.

    A weaker rupee, sticky bond yields, and slowing earnings growth form an awkward trio. Together, they cap broad market returns.

    Systematix expects muted equity performance, with gains increasingly concentrated in specific pockets rather than across the index.

    Sectors that benefit from INR/USD depreciation include information technology, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and metals. Dollar-linked revenues and export exposure provide a natural hedge.

    On the other side, banks, public sector enterprises, oil and gas companies, energy, and infrastructure players face pressure. Higher input costs, funding stress, and balance sheet sensitivity weigh them down.

    The days of easy, broad-based rallies look numbered.

    Defensive Positioning Takes Center Stage

    Emkay Global is even more cautious in the near term. Continued stress on the external account, it says, keeps sentiment fragile.

    The brokerage believes the only durable solution to this negative loop would be a comprehensive India–U.S. trade deal, including meaningful tariff reductions for Indian exports.

    Until then, markets remain vulnerable to periodic sell-offs. Equities will not be immune to global contagion.

    Over the next few months, Emkay advises increasing defensive exposure. Technology, pharmaceuticals, and private banks stand out due to their historically lower beta. Small- and mid-cap exposure, on the other hand, should be trimmed given high volatility and stretched valuations.

    This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s risk management.

    Is This Just a Passing Phase?

    Emkay does offer a measured dose of optimism. It views the current volatility as a passing phase, assuming the trade deal concludes within three to six months.

    There are green shoots. Domestic economic momentum is improving. The earnings cycle has shown signs of turning over the past month or two.

    From a long-term perspective, Emkay remains constructive on Indian equities, with consumer discretionary as its most preferred sector.

    Still, optimism comes with a valuation warning.

    Valuations Leave Little Room for Error

    Systematix strikes a sharper tone on valuations. With slowing earnings growth, a currency-adjusted price-to-earnings ratio of 21–23 times, and a market cap-to-GDP ratio hovering around 128 percent, India looks expensive.

    Relative to most global markets, particularly China, Indian equities are priced for perfection.

    In an environment of Indian rupee depreciation and fading capital inflows, perfection is a dangerous assumption.

    The Bigger Picture India Can’t Ignore

    As global protectionism deepens, India risks slipping into a self-reinforcing loop. A weaker rupee feeds inflation. Inflation tightens liquidity. Tight liquidity dents growth and earnings. That, in turn, scares capital away.

    Breaking out of this cycle will require more than monetary tweaks.

    Systematix is clear. The durable escape lies in reviving domestic investment and productively deploying India’s underutilized demographic potential. That means moving beyond overused counter-cyclical tools and pushing structural reforms with conviction.

    Currency stability can be managed for a while. Growth credibility cannot.

According to the company, SEEB is designed to streamline execution tasks by offering transparent pricing, structured workflows, skilled manpower and technology-backed planning tools. The platform aims to reduce manual coordination, eliminate negotiation-driven confusion and provide predictable outcomes for users seeking interior work.

    SEEB states that interior execution in India has traditionally been fragmented, with customers facing unclear quotations, inconsistent timelines and limited visibility on workmanship. The company says SEEB addresses these gaps by providing a consolidated digital system where users can compare prices, book services, monitor progress and review material information from anywhere. The platform also includes a verification process for requirements, ensuring that each project receives a suitable team based on skills and availability.

    According to SEEB, the platform is built for homeowners, DIY users, interior designers, architects and small execution contractors who require standardised execution support. The company highlights that SEEB’s model is designed to allow users to complete bookings within minutes without site visits or manual follow-ups. Users receive cost details, scope of work and material specifications upfront, reducing uncertainty during execution.

    The platform lists more than 200+ execution services. Key categories include gypsum false ceiling installation, wooden ceiling, acrylic ceiling, electrical wiring services, custom bed fabrication, custom wardrobe manufacturing, modular kitchen execution, interior and exterior painting work, carpentry, plumbing, MS/SS/Aluminium fabrication, electrician services, mattress supply and custom sofa manufacturing or repair. The company states that these categories represent the most in-demand interior execution requirements in urban markets.

    A homeowner in Pune’s Bavdhan area recently compared a contractor’s quotation of ₹2.5 lakh for false ceiling, electrical fitting and wiring work with SEEB’s pricing. The SEEB app displayed a total of ₹94,000 for the same requirement, including a detailed cost break-up and material information. The homeowner booked the project on SEEB and later referred the platform to a neighbour, who also booked the identical work after comparing prices. SEEB reports that such behaviour is increasingly common as customers cross-verify traditional quotations with digital alternatives.

    Interior designers using the platform have stated that SEEB simplifies their execution workflow. According to the company, designers can upload layouts, specify measurements and confirm the booking, after which a qualified execution team is assigned. This reduces rework and labour management challenges while enabling designers to focus on planning and client interactions. SEEB says its structured process ensures consistency across multiple sites.

    Execution partners have also responded positively to the separate SEEB Partner App, which provides job opportunities based on demand and location. Raju Naik, an electrician with 15 years of experience in Pune, shared that marketing and customer acquisition were major challenges before he joined the SEEB platform. “After downloading the SEEB App, bookings come directly to my phone. There is no marketing cost and no wasted time. Today, all my work comes from SEEB,” he said.

    The company states that partner assignments follow a verified allocation process rather than instant auto-assignment. Each booking undergoes requirement validation, during which coordinators review room size, material needs and service specifications. The system evaluates partner skills, availability and past performance before assigning the task. SEEB claims that this approach ensures accuracy and reduces on-site execution errors.

    SEEB also integrates technology tools to support execution. According to SEEB DESIGN PRIVATE LIMITED, the platform includes AI-assisted modules that can generate execution drawings, create floor plans based on room dimensions and provide style-wise design output for execution teams. Users receive cost calculations based on measurements, enabling them to understand expected expenses before work begins. The company explains that these tools help reduce planning errors and provide better clarity for both customers and execution teams.

    In a statement, Ashutosh Shukla of SEEB DESIGN PRIVATE LIMITED said the platform focuses on “savings, convenience and transparent pricing.” He added that users comparing quotations often find SEEB offering better value and clearer cost structures. Shukla stated that SEEB allows customers to book interior execution from anywhere without requiring site visits or frequent coordination with contractors.

    SEEB DESIGN PRIVATE LIMITED says the platform aims to create a structured, technology-enabled interior execution ecosystem that benefits customers, designers and skilled workers. The company plans to expand its service network and introduce additional execution support features as adoption increases.
