If you read through the presentation shared, some of your queries are already answered there, so I will skip those specifically

Segment allocation preferences for me are covered in the presentation.
Yes, we are always on the lookout for small quality business with good growth, niche domination, and some X-Factor. None of us has a crystal ball.

We have explained this in the MQ presentation
All your other queries are addressed in this presentation I would think. Feel free to revert if you have a finer-grained question on those
