Three years before, when Narendra Modi stormed to victory in the general election, the benchmark Sensex and the broader stock market were throbbing in anticipation. His high-octane campaign and pro-business manifesto caught the imagination of the business community in general, the cheer led by rosy reports from foreign brokerages. This column had written around the same time that year that Modi had formidable economic benchmarks set by his predecessor, Manmohan Singh, to beat. Including stock prices which rose five to six times during a 10-year tenure. Local brokerages joined the party after May 15, 2014, when the beginning of the Modi era was officially confirmed, with the election results. One memorable one was by Karvy Stock Broking's portfolio management services arm. In early June that year, it issued a report predicting 100,000 on the Sensex by 2020.
