A few other economists took to the web to express their reaction:

 

Brexit could endanger the flow of investment and personnel by diminishing Britain’s role in providing access to Europe, Dr A Didar Singh, the secretary general of FICCI, said. “Britain is considered an entry point and a gateway for the European Union by many Indian companies, a view echoed by the prime minister, Narendra Modi, in his visit to UK in November last year,” Singh said.

 

"It is expected that the market would remain a little volatile due to the global events. Brexit is expected to heighten global volatility, thereby impacting capital flows at home," DK Aggarwal, Chairman and Managing Director, SMC Investments and Advisors, said.
