Speaking of stock markets, the darling blue chip of the last couple of years seems to have lost its sheen of late.
ITC is already down 10% from its highs after going up a whopping 2.5x in almost 18 months.
Well, to be honest, a 10% fall after a huge one-way ride isn't surprising.
In fact, it could very well be along expected lines as investors look to cash out and take profits off the table.
So, this minor correction can be looked at as the stock price of ITC taking some rest before it resumes its upward journey. Or is there something more serious that's brewing?
In the below video, Rahul Shah, Co-head of Research, discusses the potential for another bullish market trend in ITC. Is this just a momentary pause before the next significant upward movement?
Infosys' new ambassador
IT giant Infosys has roped in tennis legend Rafael Nadal for a three-year partnership.
Infosys is the digital innovation partner for the ATP Tour, Roland-Garros, Australian Open, and The International Tennis Hall of Fame. Infosys has reimagined the tennis ecosystem using AI, cloud, data analytics and digital experiences.
Recent innovations of Infosys for tennis include explorations in the digital universe, including mixed reality, social VR and 3D art museums to expand tennis's history and heritage to fans globally. Most recently, Infosys launched the Carbon Tracker, allowing ATP players to track and offset emissions from their travel on tour. It is a first-of-its-kind sustainable tech in any sport.
To mark this - Nadal's first-ever collaboration with a digital services company - Infosys, and Nadal's coaching team are developing an AI-powered match analysis tool.
This personalized tool will be available in real-time to Nadal's coaching team to simultaneously track insights from his live matches when he is back on tour, along with historical data from his earlier matches.
Earlier in November 2022, Edtech major BYJU roped in football star Lionel Messi as the first global brand ambassador of its social impact arm Education for All.

Coforge launches generative AI platform
IT company Coforge has launched a Gen AI platform designed to build enterprise AI capabilities.
Coforge Quasar comes pre-loaded with a set of 100 plus APIs, readily available for integration.
The platform operates on a fully governed framework, incorporating process governance, Application Programming Interface (API) governance, and model governance within its foundation.
Enterprises can choose a cloud-based set-up or an on-premise set-up with enhanced security and controls.
AI, with its cognitive and generative capabilities, possesses the remarkable ability to revolutionise every facet of an organisation, including customer service, operations, research, sales and marketing, finance, and human resources.
The promoters of Coforge have once again sold their stake in the IT company in May 2023.
Moreover, the promoter offloading happened at a time when the company was trading at peak valuations of around 50x PE, an exorbitant premium to its 5-year and 10-year median PE of 23.1x and 12.5x respectively.
This usually indicates that the promoters might think the stock is overvalued and the business prospects don't justify the current valuations, propelling them to profit from a stake sale.
No wonder Coforge share price is falling.
