"The decline in oil prices globally should help in easing pressure on Indian economy in the form of reduced fiscal deficit and lower inflation. The recent rate cut by RBI is indicative of good times to come. The business sentiment has been improving over the past few months. We are hopeful that this improved economic environment is going to lead to sustained growth in the coming years. Media industry would also benefit from the improvement in economic environment.
