Shift to digital
Raamdeo Agrawal, Chair, Motilal Oswal Group, said that globally, value is migrating from Atoms (businesses dealing in physical matter) to Bits (businesses which are digital in nature). This has already played out in a big way in the US and the digital ecosystem in India is right for Atoms-to-Bits to play out in India.
Unlike Atoms, he said, Bits deal in intangible assets, enjoy low cost of replicating their offering and benefit from network effects. As a result, Bits can scale up rapidly compared to their Atoms counterparts, he added.
