India's benchmark Nifty 50 index has slid 13% this year, marking its worst annual performance in over a decade. Slowing economic growth, elevated Brent Crude Oil prices, and stretched valuations continue to pressure equities. Investors should hold off on buying the dip until earnings delivery stabilizes, according to Spark Capital Advisors.
