Where demand signals run ahead of mapped supply — India
Every demand signal in India’s newsflow, measured as a share of the country’s own coverage (2025-05-01 to 2026-05-01, against the year before), then scored beside family-matched supply — the companies in each signal’s mapped investment industry categories — as within-page percentiles. The gap is signal percentile minus supply percentile — a prioritisation clue in percentile points, not a market size.

Inside the three leading signals
Layoffs & income shocks
the operating hypothesis
Layoff cycles can pull discretionary spend back toward value offerings.
Interest rates & policy
the operating hypothesis
Rate moves can reprice every loan book — lending and deposit products feel it first.
Lending & credit access

Credit demand can pull origination, underwriting and collections capacity with it.
