Famous for its rich diversity across cultures bringing people to celebrate festivals from far and near. Sharing happiness through all elements of our life moulds us to stand for \u2018Unity in Diversity\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Festivals have always been a metaphor for new beginnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every day is a new day. A fresh start, a new beginning. But sometimes we just need an ignition or a catalyst to kick things off in passion and style, distinct from the mundane. With Diwali just around the corner, let us hope that the festival of light truly brings light into all of our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this philosophical context, let me share my learnings and experiences on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/muhurat-trading-2021\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=guestarticle&amp;utm_campaign=rakeshrathod_mtrad\">how one can invest on this auspicious day<\/a> and look forward to many great Diwalis in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, don&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/why-should-you-prioritise-investing\/\">invest<\/a> with a Diwali to Diwali mindset. Just have a longer time frame. Prepare goals not just for the next Diwali but many more Diwalis to come. Timing the market is very difficult and it shouldn\u2019t be attempted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, unlike traditional Diwali stock Picks, I attempted to get some of the best smallcase managers and their thoughts on promising themes which they believe can play out wonders for one\u2019s investing journey moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s divide the shortlisted themes into the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_66_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/5-new-age-investment-options-for-diwali\/#Age-old-themes-which-are-looking-up-after-a-long-bear-cycle\" title=\"Age-old themes which are looking up after a long bear cycle\">Age-old themes which are looking up after a long bear cycle<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/5-new-age-investment-options-for-diwali\/#1-Pharma-Sector\" title=\"1.

The realty sector is beginning to show strong signs of a revival. Established companies are reporting robust volume growth and with inflation fears kicking in, we may see a huge rush towards investing in real estate again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the most battered sector due to falling demand and delinquencies and was not particularly known for high standards of corporate governance. In a country with a growing population, urbanisation and an increase in nuclear families, the demand for housing was bound to rise, however, due to the soft prices, buyers expected a further dip and it thus remained a latent demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last 3-4 yrs saw the most turbulent times of this sector with demonetisation, the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-gst\/\">GST<\/a>, and RERA. After a shakeout and consolidation, though COVID-19 proved to be a temporary bane, it has finally acted as a catalyst to boost home sales as work from home (WFH) became an acceptable norm and is here to stay. The government too has pitched to give sops. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/are-home-loan-tax-deductions-beneficial\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=guestarticle&amp;utm_campaign=rakeshrathod_mtrad\">Home loan<\/a> rates are at historic lows. The fence-sitters too jumped in as prices have started to move up, pushed by an increase in input costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will see further consolidation in this space and the best of the lot will have a free run for the next few years as the sector has shifted its focus from \u2018building\u2019 homes to \u2018manufacturing\u2019 homes. However, a word of caution, as we have already witnessed a sharp up move in the last few weeks, it would be prudent to wait for a cool-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/windmillcapital.smallcase.com\/smallcase\/SCTR_0010?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=guestarticle&amp;utm_campaign=rakeshrathod_mtrad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Realty Tracker smallcase here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New-age-themes-have-got-the-much-needed-impetus-in-the-recent-pandemic-and-now-the-rebound\"><\/span>New age themes have got the much-needed impetus in the recent pandemic and now the rebound<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Play-on-digitalisation\"><\/span>3.
