As the Sensex and Nifty
scale new highs, hedge fund manager and investment guru Jim Rogers
regrets his decision to exit India in 2015. Two years ago, he sold off

Gujarat.
“Yes, I am impressed, and I see that the markets are at

Rogers,

while boarding a moving train and getting hurt, he said it doesn’t make
