At the same time, CEO of portfolio management servie (PMS) firm Equity Intelligence India, small cap expert, Porinju lightly says Aircrafts can not land on paddy fields. He says in an interview to BTV, there is a huge opportunity for infrastructure development companies involved in constructions and maintenance of airports. Planes can only land and take off from runways meant for them. So, who builds the runways?

He does not stop at telling such stories, he had already invested hugely in one such infrastructure development company. The Equity Intelligence India bought around 18.8 million shares of GVK Power and Infrastructure at Rs 9.61 per share in an open market operation. Thus the Porinju's PMS firm holds 1.19% stake in GVK power and infrastructure. 

What does GVK do? If you go for an air-travel from one city to another in India, at least one of the airport you take off from or land at would be developed by GVK.
