India service sector PMI plummets in January

Decline trumped improvement in manufacturing PMI.

Here's more from BBVA:

The service sector expanded at a slower pace in February, with the HSBC service sector PMI falling to 54.2 from 57.5 in January, driven by a decline in new business flows (55.4 vs 58.3 in January). Weakening services sector activity more than offset a pick up in manufacturing PMI for February (54.2 vs 53.2), as released last week. Indian equity shares were up today, as the weak macro-backdrop bolsters expectations of a 25bps repo rate cut by the RBI at its next meeting on March 19, following January’s 25bp cut. We expect easier monetary policy coupled with continued policy efforts in order to support a gradual recovery in economic growth, following the announcement last Thursday that Q4 GDP had fallen to a decade-low of 4.5%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
