Atul Suri: Platform business going to be a mega trend from a 3-5 year horizon
Platform business is poised for remarkable gains as COVID will trigger a tectonic shift towards digital space, said Ace chartist Atul Suri to ET NOW. The CEO at Marathon Trends – PMS pointed out the dearth of interesting platform businesses in the listed space but reiterated that there is a lot happening in the private equity space. Atul Suri stressed that platform business going to be a megatrend from a 3-5 year horizon.
