MUMBAI: The BSE sensex finished the week flat at 2985, after losing 3.2 per cent over the past one month. The week was marked by high volatility of tech stocks. Many software stocks dipped on the country's stock exchanges due to disappointing results of major tech companies. However, the listed media stocks and TV companies survived.
