This interview/podcast is seriously one of the most insightful I’ve seen for Mr. Damani! I know I had some critiques of your last podcast, but this one totally changed my mind. It’s packed with valuable insights, and I can’t wait to see how your reach continues to grow. I’m really enjoying the podcast format lately! If there was a stock named India Opportunity, I’d definitely invest in it! Jokes aside, lovely content ma’am!

@45:50, Mr. Damani repeats the same lines which he narrated about Sin stock some times in 2021 after COVID. I took his advice bought Som Distilleries for 32/- and Tilak Nagar Industries for 37/-. The rest is history.

Thank you sir.

In the situation especially in India people per capita income raising.Middle class people become a more more powerful.financilization of savings a place, which means more and more institute of path in Almora fixed deposit or saving deposit that money is coming to financial markets.To the equity market, fixed income market, real estate, commodity, PE or VC, mutual fund industry every thing going to burgeon in India.This is country hot land.Investment management booming.

[uniquevictor]

Sir had the advantage in stock markets of pure early timing and luck. The performance of stock market during it's nascent days gave more returns versus now. Its just like a child turning into 6 feet height in first 15 years, doesn't mean that in next 15 years he will become 12 ft. Its never been more important to surround yourself by the best investors and senior professionals in the industries to grow your portfolio. 11:00 totally agree.

[lostsoul]

Not only does the past affects the future but the future also affects the past

[darpanmehta]
