Our Founder & CEO, hosted Shankar Sharma. He reflected on how government actions during this crisis led to significant growth in India's GDP, from $200 billion to $3.7 trillion today. Mr. Sharma emphasized the market's power to educate, especially when one becomes complacent.

He also shared his belief in the influence of desire and luck in achieving one's goals. The conversation touched on key changes in the market during the early '90s, making it more inclusive for younger investors.

Mr. Sharma stressed that stock markets are driven by intellect and insight, not connections or manipulation. He discussed the psychology of market cycles and the tendency for bull markets to convince investors that bear markets are just illusions.

In conclusion, he highlighted the cyclical nature of markets and expressed optimism about India's continued potential for wealth creation through business and the stock market.
