Indian equities sailed through a volatile session on Wednesday to end flat as the benchmark Nifty found vital support. A reversal of declines in information technology stocks helped offset losses in pharma and financials.

"We have seen wild swings in the market as if there is a tug of war between bears and bulls. The VIX has also spiked up as happens in January," Shivangi Sarda, analyst at Motital Oswal, said.
