My phone has become unusable due to telemarketing and is always silent. Guess what goes around comes around. I spent four years at a call center, making unsolicited calls to people in the US. I guess Karma has a way of biting back. 😬

Companies can now issue bonds with face value of Rs.10,000. This is a great move that can help attract retail participation in the bonds. With all the changes in the last few years, SEBI has done an amazing job of making bonds accessible to small investors.

I thought one of the biggest use case for bamboo was to replace plastic in everyday items like toothbrushes, combs, etc. But when I met Agni from @amwoodo, I was surprised to learn that bamboo has a higher tensile strength than steel. Of course, this doesn't mean, you can…

It's unreal how much our markets have expanded post-COVID. @zerodhaonline customers now hold ~ Rs 4.5 lakh crores worth of assets in their demat accounts.

I was checking out the data on IPOs in India and the US over the past three calendar years. Something that stuck out was that that the US had almost a similar number of IPOs + amount of money raised through IPOs as India in 2022. I triple-checked this number a few times. 😁

I have a vested interest in saying this 😬 being part of @ZerodhaAMC, but it's a no-brainer to use low-cost index funds for your core portfolio. You can complement that with other funds, but the core should be passive funds. The data shows it's getting increasingly harder for…

Someone sent me this heartwarming video of kids watching @ZerodhaVarsity Junior videos from Tungi, a small village in Bihar with just about 6,000 people 😀

An important aspect of being an active trader is ensuring you file your taxes on time. But most traders ignore this and end up with notices. March 15th is the deadline for filing advanced taxes, and many traders think that it may be applicable to them. If you have an estimated…

While the destructive environmental impact of plastic is well known, it poses serious health challenges as well. In the last few weeks alone, there have been a couple of studies that have shown the health impact of microplastics. One study found microplastics in the human…

I've said this earlier: for India to grow inclusively, wealth has to be created locally. Today, much of the success of homegrown startups goes to investors outside India. Staying in India and incorporating at home also saves the future hassle of paying huge taxes to flip back.…

I feel a bit out of touch with current fashions, because a couple days ago an Indian founder in the current batch asked if he should base the company in SF or India, and I said the Indian startup community seemed to be thriving and it would be fine if he wanted to go back.

Between 50,000 and 80,000 crores of assets are unclaimed across demat accounts, mutual funds, insurance, etc. This is because most investors don't add nominees to their investors. In fact, 72% of Individual investors don't have a nominee for their demat accounts and mutual fund…

This prank we ran over 10 years ago.😬

What @rohanbopanna is doing for Indian tennis and athletes all over the world is absolutely inspiring. At 43, he is the oldest player to be ranked No. 1 in the history of Men’s Doubles tennis, proving that age is just a number after all. I've said this before, but picking up a…

LIQUIDCASE, India's first ETF with a growth NAV from @ZerodhaAMC just listed today with the same symbol. When we were thinking about the product, we wanted to offer something simple where investors didn't have to bother about dividends, taxes etc. So, the way LIQUIDCASE works is…

When a popular coffee chain started displaying that their large milkshake had a whopping 1000 calories, I thought the sales would drop off a cliff, but it didn't budge. This is maybe an indication of a low understanding of things that can affect people’s health. Through…

More Indians today than ever before are aspiring to be entrepreneurs thanks to Government initiatives & messaging, the media coverage of the startup ecosystem, founder success stories, & more. The one thing we need to work on as a nation is to unlock domestic capital for…

The latest consultation proposal by SEBI to reduce corporate bonds' face value to Rs 10,000 can lead to greater retail participation in the bond markets. I think for the majority of our country, i.e. beyond the top 5 to 10% of the country yet to start investing, equities may not…
