Over the last few years, there has been a growing realization among Indians that their life’s savings, the bulk of which are parked in physical assets like real estate and gold, are unlikely to help them generate sufficient returns to fund their financial goals, including retirement.
At the same time, many have lost their hard-earned money trying to invest in financial assets, including debt and equities. Such losses have occurred due to many reasons, such as corporate frauds, weak business models and mis-allocation of capital by the companies in whose shares unsuspecting investors parked their savings.
What options do Indian savers then have to invest in, and build their wealth?
In this webinar, through the lens of Saurabh Mukherjea’s, Rakshit Ranjan’s and Salil Desai’s new book, ‘Diamonds in the Dust’, they, along with Prof. Sanjay Bakshi discuss simple, yet highly effective, investment techniques to identify clean, well-managed Indian companies that have consistently generated outsized returns for investors. They will discuss case studies and charts that help learn the art and science of investing. Lastly, they will try to debunk many notions of investing that have emerged from the misguided application of Western investment theories in the Indian context.
