Market’s crashed! Is it time to look at pharma and IT now?

The relentless selloff in India may be influenced by the situation in China, where there are rumors of further attempts to support their domestic stock markets.

IT and healthcare sectors, viewed as more defensive, have been strong performers. India still presents a good longer-term investment story, although there may be some money flowing into China if it outperforms.
