In my three decades of experience in the investment and trading circuit, I have witnessed the convergence of bearish markets and slowdowns on numerous occasions. The most important and valuable lesson I learned was that it is both plausible and feasible to overcome a bear market with the right knowledge to make timely and informed decisions.

India plans from Stocktwits: the way forward
The launch of Stocktwits in India matches the growth of the retail investment landscape across the country, with the participation of Tier II and III cities – including new investors under the age of 25 – driving this growth. With an abundance of financial market information readily accessible to consumers today, it is critical for investors to have access to communities to make more informed investment decisions.
Investing in all types of asset classes is now widely accessible in India. So it’s important to help retail investors hone their skills and make better investment decisions. We also believe that investing is best learned through the mentorship model and are delighted to partner with Shankar Sharma, an investment veteran who needs no introduction and clearly understands market cycles. We are excited to provide Shankar Sharma with a platform to share his extensive experience with the next generation of investors in India and help them prepare for the next bull market.
