SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence RBI Policy Decoded The Repo Rate Hike: Inflation Gave the Cover, the Rupee Gave the Reason The RBI raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. With the rupee at ₹96.78 to the dollar, the Fed at 3.75–4.00 percent and bank credit growing near 18 percent, the fuller story is bigger than August CPI of 4.8 percent. The Reserve Bank of India raised the repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50 percent on 7 October 2026. It is the first hike since February 2023, and the stance has moved from neutral to calibrated tightening. The rate decision was unanimous. The Governor cited inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee said the inflation outlook is no longer as comfortable as it was last year, and near-term rate cuts were taken off the table. That is the official story, and it is not wrong. But it is incomplete. Look at what surrounds the decision: a rupee near its record...
Puzzle!!
According to a financial daily: Facebook, (www.facebook.com) a social networking juggernaut has more than 400 million members and its valuation is whopping $15 billion.
Now to make things a little simple, let me give you the figures in Indian Rupees.
Now we know, 
(i) 1 (one) Billion = 10 to the power of nine (one followed by 9 zeros) and
(ii) 1 (one) Million = 10 to the power of six (one followed by 6 zeros)

Hence One Billion = 100 Cr ..


Therefore,
Rs.700 billion= Rs.700x100 Cr= Rs.70, 000 Cr ..

Can you Imagine....??!!

Now if this the valuation of www.facebook.com, then what is the valuation of India's 3rd (third) largest social networking web-site: www.bharatstudent.com, which is owned by Northgate Technologies Ltd..??!!
Any Guesses.....??!!
Moreover, Northgate Technologies Ltd also owns:
(i) www.axill.com
(ii)www.ziddu.com
(iii)www.globe7.com
Hence what is the total valuation of the web-properties of Northgate Technologies Ltd in case of any SELL??!!

Any Guesses....??!!
