By: Nishank Joshi, Chief Marketing Officer, Nexus Select Malls on the anticipated Black Friday Sales

“Over the past few years, Black Friday has firmly cemented itself as one of India’s most anticipated retail moments. What began as a single-day flash sale has now evolved into a full-fledged shopping week for many brands, signalling not just consumer enthusiasm, but the maturing of India’s retail landscape.

For us at Nexus Select Malls, Black Friday provides a timely surge in November, which tends to be softer when Diwali falls in October. This year too, we are elevating the experience with bigger giveaways, bigger assured gifts and 2X reward points for shoppers who upload their bills on our Nexus ONE app.

Traditionally, categories like electronics and beauty used to take lead, but now we’re witnessing now is a wider acceptance across segments like fast-fashion, accessories etc as well. While it’s still early to confirm the total number of participating brands this year, I am confident that the participation will surpass last year’s numbers.

Black Friday has truly become a nationwide phenomenon, and we expect strong traction across all our 19 malls in 15 cities. Like every year, we are optimistic of delivering double-digit growth in both sales and footfalls during the Black Friday weekend. The energy around this event only reinforces our belief that India’s appetite for organised retail is stronger than ever.”

Mumbai, Nov 24th: India has emerged as one of the most dynamic real estate private credit markets in the Asia-Pacific region, ranking 2nd and contributing 36% of the region’s private credit fundraising between 2020 and 2024, according to Knight Frank’s latest Horizon Report: The Rise of Real Estate Credit in Asia-Pacific – Bridging the Gap.

The report reveals that India’s private credit assets under management (AUM) have grown from USD 0.7 billion in 2010 to USD 17.8 billion in 2023, highlighting the rapid institutionalisation of the market and rising investor confidence. Backed by regulatory reforms, innovative funding structures, and increasing demand for flexible capital, India is projected to account for 20–25% of the region’s anticipated USD 90–110 billion private credit growth by 2028.

Knight Frank notes that developers’ growing reliance on non-bank financing—amid evolving regulations and tighter bank lending—has accelerated the expansion of private credit. Global private equity firms and family offices are increasingly tapping into the segment for its attractive risk-adjusted returns, especially in residential development, refinancing, and special situation funding.

India’s Market Momentum

Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India, said:

“India’s rise as a leading private credit market is driven by strong economic fundamentals and deepening institutional participation. Structured and alternative financing are helping bridge capital gaps for developers and support the rising urban housing demand. With global interest rates remaining high, private credit offers compelling opportunities backed by robust underlying assets.”

The report also highlights how structured debt, last-mile funding, and special situation investments are increasingly critical in unlocking stalled projects and resolving liquidity challenges, attracting a wider base of institutional investors.

Asia-Pacific Private Credit on a Strong Upward Trajectory

The Asia-Pacific region raised USD 11.2 billion in real estate private credit between 2020 and 2024—a 40% increase that reflects the region’s rising prominence in alternative real estate lending.

Over the next three years, Knight Frank projects USD 90–110 billion in private credit growth across major markets including Australia, Hong Kong SAR, India, and South Korea.

• Australia is expected to drive nearly 50% of this expansion.

• India is projected to contribute 20–25%, supported by sustained real estate debt demand.

Despite representing just 5% of global private credit fundraising, Asia-Pacific is showing strong momentum with average fund sizes consistently exceeding USD 100 million since 2022.

Australia leads the region, accounting for 40% of fundraising, with private credit now representing USD 50 billion, or 16% of the country’s commercial real estate lending. South Korea and Japan account for 11% and 5%, respectively.

Growing Participation from Family Offices

The report points to rising interest from ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices, who collectively manage an estimated USD 3.1 trillion in global assets.

• 37% of family offices plan to increase indirect real estate investments within 18 months.

• Nearly one-third aim to boost private credit allocations the highest among all asset classes.

Private credit strategies typically target returns 3–6.5% above benchmark rates, with high-yield strategies offering double-digit potential. The high-rate environment is further strengthening the appeal of this asset class.

Key Investment Themes

1. Development Financing
   Filling gaps left by banks reducing development lending due to regulatory pressures like Basel III.

2. Bridge & Refinancing Solutions
   Supporting markets facing valuation adjustments or bank reluctance for refinancing—especially in Hong Kong SAR and Australia.

3. Value-Add Strategies
   Funding ESG upgrades, office conversions, and bespoke financing needs.

4. New-Economy Assets
   Capital flowing into data centres, logistics, and build-to-rent residential projects.

Market Outlook: Positive with Selective Opportunities

While the private credit sector faces risks such as regulatory evolution and liquidity pressures, the report suggests that market share will continue to grow. However, unlike Western markets where private credit often replaces traditional lending, Asia-Pacific home to deposit-rich banking systems—will see private credit complement bank lending rather than replace it.

Simon Mathews, Director, Capital Advisory, Knight Frank, noted:

“Private credit offers speed, flexibility, and tailored solutions that are increasingly preferred by developers across Asia-Pacific. With interest rates expected to remain higher for longer, real estate private credit is positioned to deliver some of the most attractive risk-adjusted returns in over a decade.”

Hyderabad, Nov 24: The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), organised the ‘Finance Conclave 2025’, themed ‘Navigating Transformation in a Dynamic Global Economy’, today at The Park, Hyderabad. The conclave brought together top policymakers, industry leaders, financial experts, and international stakeholders for an in-depth dialogue on the forces reshaping global finance.

The event served as a premier platform to explore how the finance function is transforming from a traditional, transactional role into a strategic engine of business value. Sessions underscored the growing influence of digitalisation, automation, AI, and data analytics in redefining financial operations, governance, and decision-making. Speakers shared actionable insights on leveraging technology to boost agility, enhance forecasting precision, strengthen cross-functional partnerships, and enable finance leaders to steer growth, innovation, and sustainable performance in an increasingly volatile economic landscape.

The inaugural ceremony featured Special Addresses by Mr. CA. Charanjot Singh Nanda; President, ICAI, and Mr. CA. Ananda Rao Potnuru, President, Hyderabad Chartered Accountants’ Society. This was followed by a compelling Theme Address from Ms. Seema Grover, Head of Finance  India & Emerging Markets, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, and a powerful Keynote Address by Mr. CA. Salil Kumar Mishra, CFO, MEIL Group. Mr. V V Rama Raju, Chairman, FICCI Telangana State Council & Founder & MD, Gaja Engineering, delivered the welcome address, while Mr. Jayadev Meela, Co-Chairman, FICCI Telangana State Council & Managing Director, Sudhakar Group, proposed the vote of thanks.

Mr. CA. Charanjot Singh Nanda; President, ICAI; in his virtual address said, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) was established in 1949, even before India adopted its Constitution. The Constituent Assembly envisioned a disciplined corps of financial professionals who could guide a young nation out of uncertainty and onto a path of sustained growth. Today, ICAI stands as the world’s largest accounting body, with over five lakh members and eleven lakh students. From being partners in nation-building, we have evolved into partners in global progress. In this dynamic environment, finance professionals are no longer mere custodians of numbers; they are strategic navigators, regulators, stakeholders, and enablers of societal resilience and confidence. To stay ahead, we must align with international best practices, adapt them to our local context, and integrate them into our work to deliver the highest standards of excellence.

Mr. CA. Ananda Rao Potnuru; President, Hyderabad Chartered Accountants’ Society; said, the global economy today is deeply interconnected, capital, goods, technology, and talent move seamlessly across borders. A policy shift in Washington can ripple through Mumbai, and an innovation in Bengaluru can reshape markets in Europe. In such a world, survival hinges on adaptability, and leadership demands constant reinvention. This decade calls for strategic, sustainable, and systematic transformation. Our standards must evolve from being compliance-driven to intelligence-driven, with data, cybersecurity, and AI forming the core of financial governance. In an era of rising digital fraud, staying updated and digitally proficient is no longer optional, it’s essential.

Ms. Seema Grover; Head of Finance  India & Emerging Markets, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories; said, today, institutions like ICAI, SEBI, and NFRA are driving a new era of robust corporate governance. To deepen this understanding, we are privileged to have two distinguished speakers who will share their insights on the future of corporate governance, financial reporting, and evolving standards. Our second session explores the power of technology, can AI close our books, can MIS sharpen decision-making, and how far can automation transform our processes? A seasoned CFO will bring these ideas to life with real-world experiences. The third session turns to the global landscape, focusing on how financial leaders can navigate geopolitical shifts and macroeconomic uncertainty with agility and confidence.

Mr. CA. Salil Kumar Mishra; CFO, MEIL Group; said, the role of a finance professional today goes far beyond being a business partner, we are co-founders in spirit and function. Promoters now expect finance to support every dimension of the business, not just balance the books. Traditional balancing is outdated; with AI and advanced software handling routine tasks, our real value lies in interpretation and strategic insight. A CFO’s core responsibility is to drive the business alongside the promoters. Finance is the powerhouse behind execution, and even a small analytical error can derail an entire project. We’ve seen several infrastructure companies in Hyderabad collapse due to weak financial planning and execution. Predictive finance now shapes project strategy, it’s no longer about post-mortem analysis. As CFOs, we must shed conventional mindsets and bring forward ideas that are technology-driven, ownership-driven, and responsibility-driven. Ultimately, we are custodians of growth that is sustainable, ethical, and resilient.

Mr. V V Rama Raju; Chairman, FICCI Telangana State Council & Founder & MD, Gaja Engineering; in his welcome address said, today’s theme, “Navigating Transformation in a Dynamic Global Economy,” highlights the finance function’s shift from transactional reporting to strategic leadership. It is especially relevant as we face rapid technological change, rising risks, and constantly shifting global dynamics. Geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, rising tariffs, and economic volatility are reshaping financial strategy and limiting forecasting clarity. In this environment, the future belongs to organisations that are bold in adopting digital technologies, strong in governance, high in performance, and agile in decision-making. The future of finance will be global, digital, data-driven, and sustainable. The finance function is now firmly recognised as a strategic partner aligned with the organisation’s core objectives.

Mr. P R Ramesh, Independent Non-Executive Director, Nestlé India Ltd., responding to a point during the panel discussion he said, across the world, the credibility of financial reporting has hit its lowest point. Despite subsequent corrective measures by regulators in the US, India, and elsewhere, we continue to witness major corporate failures in financial reporting, raising a fundamental question, as to what were the Boards doing? Many of these companies were audited by top firms, had celebrated boards, and operated with sophisticated systems. Yet the cracks were massive. As far back as 1988, the Chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission remarked that most US financial statements were “cooked” some lightly, others completely roasted. For the regulator of the world’s financial capital to say this was alarming, and several Fortune 500 companies soon proved him right. The reality is that Board members, including audit committee members, typically spend only 75 to 100 hours a year on a company. They don’t review books of account, aren’t involved in day-to-day operations, and yet are expected to uphold governance. With strict insider-trading laws, most blue-chip companies share financials with Directors only on the day of the meeting or, at best, a day prior. Even the most brilliant Chartered Accountant on a Board cannot meaningfully analyse such limited, last-minute information. Given this structure, governance inevitably relies heavily on what auditors present. And when that foundation cracks, the entire system falters.

A thought-provoking panel on Indian Standards & Governance in Accounting, featuring Mr. P R Ramesh, Independent Non-Executive Director, Nestlé India Ltd., and Mr. Govind Ahuja, Partner, S. R. Batliboi & Co. LLP, examined the evolution of Indian Accounting Standards, their convergence with global IFR principles, compliance challenges, emerging governance frameworks, and the pivotal role of transparency in building stakeholder trust.

FICCI’s Finance Conclave 2025 Charts the Future of Global FinanceSession on Insights on Finance Transformation, Mr. M V Narasimham, CFO, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories; highlighted the finance function’s shift from a transactional role to a strategic driver of enterprise value. He underscored how digitalisation, automation, AI, and analytics are reshaping financial operations and governance, and shared practical insights on using technology to enhance agility, improve forecasting, and strengthen business partnerships, empowering finance leaders to drive innovation, growth, and long-term sustainability.

Another engaging session, led by Mr. Jitendra Gohil, CIO, Bajaj Alternate Investment Management Ltd., addressed Economic Peace, Geopolitics, Supply Chain Impact, Rising Prices & Tariffs. The discussion unpacked how geopolitical tensions, tariff shifts, and global realignments are influencing trade flows, investment patterns, and business resilience. Experts highlighted India’s emerging opportunities, the urgency for adaptive financial planning, and strategies to navigate global uncertainties.

In the panel on Leadership Perspective on the Strategic Role of Finance, speakers Mr. KVS Ramrao, Partner, VB Group, and Mr. Rahul Chattopadhyay, Chartered Accountant, illuminated how finance leaders are expected to drive customer-centric value, proactively mitigate business risks, and deliver advanced analytics that guide competitive strategy.

A standout feature of the conclave was the exclusive CXO Dialogue, featuring Ms. Lakshmi Iyer, Group President  Investments & CEO, Bajaj Alternate Investment Management Ltd., and Mr. M V Narasimham, CFO, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, joining virtually; along with Mr. Jitendra Gohil and Ms. Seema Grover, engaging in person. This rare interactive exchange offered delegates deep insights into leadership philosophies, financial stewardship, and strategic decision-making amid today’s rapidly shifting economic environment.

The Finance Conclave 2025 concluded on a high note, equipping participants with forward-looking perspectives, strategic frameworks, and transformative ideas to navigate the future of finance with confidence.

Moving between prose and poetry, June traces the small, everyday moments that form a life’s worth of memory: the silent strengths, the habits that linger, and the tender rituals that keep a presence alive.

Speaking at the launch, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi said, “Supporting this book today feels deeply personal. As someone who has always been a father’s girl, I connected instantly with June’s theme and the emotional honesty in her writing. In a world where being an author takes immense courage, with rewards that are more soulful than material, her work stands out for its sincerity and heart. The parts I read moved me, because they speak to how our parents shape us long after they’re gone. I’m truly happy to be here and to celebrate this beautiful tribute.”

Madhoo Shah said, I’m honoured to be part of this launch. When Shobha shared the synopsis of My Father’s Earthen Vessel, I immediately connected with its themes of discipline, resilience and the quiet strength we inherit from our parents. These are values that have shaped my own journey as an artist. In a world driven by constant validation, this book is a reminder of the grounding forces that keep us focused, committed and true to our craft. I’m grateful to support a work that speaks so meaningfully to the professional and personal foundations that guide us all.”

And when I spoke to the author early this morning, I felt an immediate connection to the spirit of the book. As someone who works closely with communities and believes deeply in values passed down through generations, the theme of a daughter’s relationship with her father resonated strongly with me. Our fathers shape our conscience, our courage and the way we serve the world. This book is a heartfelt reminder of those roots, and I’m glad to stand here in support of it.”

June Roshni Lobo shared, “We were raised to understand the value of gratitude, to recognise the people, moments and lessons that shape us.
