Expert is of the view that fall in IT shares is also impacting shares of new-edge companies such as Zomato and Paytm.  

"An important feature of the tech sell-off is that bulk of the selling is happening in non-profitable tech stocks. This trend is impacting stocks like Zomato and Paytm in India too," said V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services. 

He said it is important to understand the fact that Indian IT stocks with high profits and good earnings visibility are in a totally different league. "Results of RIL and ICICI Bank are very good, reinforcing the current trend of rising profitability of large Indian corporates," he added.
