Tweet Buster: How to handle NBFC crisis and navigate the market now
Rating agencies and liquidity crisis were on the radar of Twitterati in the wake of DHFL crisis.
The DHFL crisis cast its shadow on the NBFCs and HFCs. Lack of commentary from the Reserve Bank of India on the liquidity woes plaguing the economy or any guidelines regarding the NBFC sector did little to nothing to dispel investor worries.
The entire fiasco brewing at DHFL also put rating companies in limelight. Amid all this, Twitter was abuzz with top D-Street honchos discussing what RBI could have done differently and what investors should do now.

In the light of this development, Sabharwal said, "Debt fund managers are out to destroy the mutual fund industry due to their unnecessary exposure to over risky debt papers." He said risk-taking should be left to smallcap and midcap firms.
