'There's a huge opportunity for...': Nikhil Kamath points to a quiet goldmine for Indian companies

Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath identifies an opportunity in durable goods that last over three years, amid Indian households' limited durable spending. As Indian households spend primarily on essentials, Kamath suggests homegrown brands focus on quality products like furniture, jewellery, and luggage, appealing globally despite protectionist trends. While essentials dominate spending (37% rural, 29% urban), rising incomes might shift towards durable goods. Kamath emphasizes reducing unhealthy consumption, a significant budget share, to optimize sustainable business models.
