A set of large-cap and mid-cap Indian equities is drawing trader attention ahead of Thursday's session, with names spanning IT services, financial services, telecom infrastructure, and insurance. Wipro and Tejas Networks represent the technology side of the watchlist, while HDB Financial Services, ICICI Lombard, and Tata Communications round out a cross-sector lineup that reflects broad institutional positioning rather than a single thematic catalyst. The article does not specify the corporate events, earnings releases, regulatory actions, or analyst calls driving focus on each name, which limits direct mapping of near-term price triggers. Traders monitoring this list should independently verify whether individual names carry pending results, block deals, index rebalancing events, or policy-linked news before taking positions. Sector rotation between IT and financials has been a recurring theme in Indian markets, and any session featuring both Wipro and HDB Financial simultaneously warrants attention to that dynamic.
Indian startups raised $5.2 billion across 501 deals in H1 2026, down 9% in value but up 7% in deal count year-on-year, per the Inc42 Indian Tech Startup Funding Report. The drop is driven by fewer mega-rounds, while AI funding surged 317% and growth-stage deal activity hit a multi-year high.
The BSE Sensex fell 893 points and the Nifty 50 shed 279 points on June 30, 2026, wiping out roughly Rs 6 lakh crore in investor wealth in a single session. Both indices dropped 1.16%, closing at 76,200.68 and 23,824.10 respectively.
Kotak Mahindra Bank shares fell nearly 3% to Rs 397.6 after CEO Ashok Vaswani announced plans to exit the bank. Investor concern now centres on succession timing and whether the bank's ongoing digital and deposit-growth strategy will stay on track.
South Korea's Kospi dropped 3% at Monday's open while Japan's Nikkei fell 1%, as escalating US-Iran conflict triggered a broad risk-off move across Asian markets. South Korea's heavy reliance on Middle East oil imports makes it especially vulnerable to geopolitical shocks of this kind.
