The stock market has been booming during 2020. The Nifty touched 14,000 and went up be nearly 15% during the year. The pharma component went up by 60% during the year. The coronavirus pandemic and then the lockdown came together to give the Indian stock market a huge fillip as it went from strength to strength, day after day. On the Ease of Doing Business, India leapt forward and ended at the 63rd position, a huge improvement from the 142nd rank in 2014. This kind of improvement is simply unprecedented. On a completely different playing field, India scored a historic win against Australia at the MCG to end the year on an absolute high.
