The Jim Walker Interview: Man Who Predicted 2008 Crisis Is Betting Big On India, Here's Why

Despite the slump seen in 2025 so far, the Indian equity market remains one of the most attractive across the world, according to Jim Walker, the Chief Economist at Aletheia Capital who was one of the analysts to foresee the 2008 global market crisis.

"It is a great time to buy stocks in India for next three, five or 10 years," Walker said, in a televised interview with NDTV Profit on Thursday. The Indian stock market has "the best profit cycle" in Asia, he added.

Walker’s comments comes amid the steep correction seen by Indian indices, with the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex still down by around 12% from the September peaks.

Walker believes that the recent correction would not turn away investors from the Indian market, given the country’s strong economic outlook. "Apart from Vietnam, no other country in the region looks as good as India," he said, adding that this is one of the reasons behind the confidence shown by domestic and international investors in Indian stocks.
