Pick stocks based on business value over market size, says Tata fund manager

Investors should focus on individual company strengths instead of choosing stocks based purely on market size. Chandraprakash Padiyar, Senior Fund Manager at Tata Asset Management, shared this view in an interview with Kshitij Anand of ETMarkets.

Manufacturing Theme

Padiyar also pointed to the manufacturing sector as a strong area for creating wealth. He noted that better cost control, clean financial records, and plans to expand globally are driving this sector forward.

Context

Stock market experts often debate whether large companies or smaller ones offer better value for investors. Bottom-up investing means looking at how a specific business runs rather than just following general market trends.
