So, as I told earlier, I’m very passionate about business and I do lots of hustle in my school and college days as I always want to earn money so someone told me to start trading you’ll earn good and I have started trading in 2017 Sep and bought shares and after few months I made some profits I don’t know it was luck or research just kidding it was luck and then I take my stock decision on the basis of news channel, etc but after sometime, I made some big losses then I take a decision if I want to succeed in this field I have been educated in this. So, I started a course related to stock market and from there I got knowledge and what I learn from the institute I make YouTube videos. So yaha se meri journey start hui.

5. What’s the roadmap to learn investing in Stock Market?

So learning basics is very important if someone doesn’t want to pay for the course these days they can start for free, first start learning basics from Zerodha varsity which is best for the beginner and also there is a website elearnmarkets.com which provide free courses but if someone wants to make a career in this then they can pursue the stock market-related course from NISM, bse institute or any other good institute this will help the student to make a good career in the stock market field.

 

6. Have you trained others in this field and what mistakes did you observe, the myths you busted, doubts they used to ask in the beginning and how would you convince them?

Yeah, I provide webinars on the stock market and courses also, and I have trained 100+ students and also daily I solve queries of around 10-20 followers and I help them so that they will not lose money in the stock market. I also remember one of our followers called me and said sir I loose around 1 lac in one day and money was taken as a loan from a relative and he said to sir merko loss recover karna hai I’ll invest more bus mere paise recover ho jaye but mene use samjhaya ki apne galti kari hai binaa kuch seekhe apne FNO me trade kia jo ki sabse risky hai and agar aap phir usme trade karoge to apko aur loss hoga becoz aap revenge lene ke liye trade karoge. So usne meri baat mani and trading stop kari

 

 

7. What was the 1st video that went viral and how did you react?

In 2020-2021 IPO boom chal raha tha sabh log IPO apply kar rahe the har YouTuber even me khud IPO ke upar video bana raha the but what I see jo log IPO laga rahe the unke paise upi me fass jate the and wo log mujhe msg karte the so ek din mene decide kia IPO REFUND PROCESS par video banao and mene us par video banai and is video meri kafi viral hui almost 120000+ views aye and almost daily me IPO se related 5-10 calls attend karta tha and I help them to get them money back.

 

8. Since there are so many materials, strategies, and channels available out there. Then what according to you should be an ideal roadmap to invest in for a beginner?

For beginner, I only say invest in bluechip mehnge hai stock but apko profit zaroor dega agar aap starting me hi small ya mid-cap me invest kar doge to loss hone ke baad moral bhut down ho jata hai isliye me hamesha bolta hun always start with large-cap stocks. And in beginning invest in those companies which product do you use or jinka business apko samjh aye wah invest karo.

 

9. Any principles in stock market investing that one needs to know?

Mera to ek hi princilple hai market me “market ki izzat karo” agar aap market ki izzat nhi karoge aap market me lambe samay ke liye nhi tikk paooge. Share market ko ek business ki tarah karo yaha loss aur profit dono hoga agar aap soch rahe ho ki apko sirf profit hoga to aap market me na enter karo, without discipline you’ll never earn in the stock market.

Mere liye stock market meri rozzi roti hai and market is supreme always respect tabhi earn kar paooge market me otherwise aaj bhi loss karoge aur future me bhi.

 

10. Any experience or learning that you would like to share?

My biggest learning in stock market is Respect the market. I saw many investors traders once lose money or made loss they abuse the market even if it is their fault for the loss. My mentor always tells me to respect the market even you faced a loss. They said the market is supreme and the market is your bread and butter so abusing the market is very wrong. So, I always respect the market a lot. When I start trading or investing in the market I made a prayer in front of god and the market. For me, the market is my guru they always teach me what to do and what not to do.

11. Any book recommendations for beginners and advanced levels?

Some books I'm recommending here are 

1- Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert T Kiyosaki

2- How to avoid loss & earn consistently in the stock market - Prasenjit Paul

3- 13 Swing Trading Strategies - Anant Ladha
