ET Alpha Wealth Summit: Rethinking Risk, Cycles and India’s Growth Story

In a closed-door gathering, ET Alpha Wealth Summit India’s most influential wealth minds will bring together HNIs and family offices in Mumbai on June 4 to examine the forces and investment decisions that will shape capital markets over the next decade.

In an environment defined by changing cycles, evolving macro signals and competing narratives on India’s growth, the Summit focuses on one key objective: helping investors think more clearly about risk, timing and long-term allocations in a rapidly changing world.

Across sessions, speakers will examine how today’s macro turning points translate into real investment decisions, covering when to reduce risk, where conviction in India’s growth story is justified and how to separate structural trends from cyclical noise in portfolios.

Rajeev Thakkar’s masterclass on “The Contrarians Playbook: When to Exit” explores how knowing what to buy is half the investment journey, while knowing when to step aside ultimately defines the results.

This session offers a disciplined, real-world framework that helps investors protect capital in overheated markets, recognize early signs of overstaying risk, and reinforce selling discipline with purchase decisions, focusing on building conviction around exits motivated by logic rather than emotion, and navigating portfolio risk through late-cycle market behavior.

Garima Kapoor, Dr. A panel discussion featuring Aurodeep Nandy, Sakshi Gupta and Dharmakirti Joshi will explore the sustainability of India’s development story. The panel will examine whether India’s growth engine is entering a new structural phase or merely navigating expectations of change, while unpacking key tensions in today’s macro narrative, including the balance between consumption-led and investment-led growth, and whether the recent revival in private investment reflects sustainable trends or early-stage optimism.

It will also explore how long-term investors should interpret India’s trajectory through the lens of both confidence and cyclical caution, focusing on the broader macro outlook, sustainability of key growth drivers, evolving inflation and interest rate dynamics, and their implications for long-term asset allocation.
