Rahul Bhuskute, Chief Investment Officer at Bharti AXA Life, has signaled confidence in the Indian equity market, asserting that current valuations provide a sufficient margin of safety for investors.

Despite a turbulent first half of 2026, Bhuskute maintains that the year is unlikely to be a "washout," pointing to resilient underlying growth drivers as the foundation for continued market strength.

In an interview with Livemint, Bhuskute emphasized the importance of a diversified investment strategy to navigate ongoing geopolitical challenges and market volatility.
