The share of individual investors in the NSE’s total turnover has grown from 39% in March 2020 to 45% in mid-2021.
This is a phenomenal jump in just a year.
But why did this happen?

1. MARKET CRASH & BULL RUN:
The 2020 market crash, followed by the big bull run has initiated a tsunami of discussions around equities in the digital world.
This is where the youth is.

2. LOW INTEREST RATES:
Due to declining rates, the prospects of making 3-6% from bank deposits do not seem feasible anymore….
Atleast not to the young population.. and rightly so.

3. FINTECH STARTUPS:
Startups in the FinTech space have enabled first-time investors to easily enter the market.
The emergence of FinTech startups has been a big reason for the growth of individual investors.

4. The LIQUIDITY in the market, clubbed with more TIME at hand (due to WFH, etc) has given a nudge to youngsters to explore the equity markets.
5. FOMO:
The big bull-run stories of people doubling & tripling their money in a matter of months has made the stock market way too tempting to miss out on.

BUT there are no free lunches in life. Lack of education, incorrect advise, too many “gurus” & misleading scamsters have made life difficult for first-time investors.
And this I believe is & will remain a challenge for investors in India.

Second problem is that investing in equities is serious business. And the traditional ways of learning aren’t exciting to the youngsters…
Someone I know & have followed for a long time, Ajay Sir @ajlakhotia decided to solve these problems.
He launched StockGro in January 2020, to make investing smarter & through proper learning.

Fact that they now have over 10 million (1 Crore) users is testimony that they have been accepted by new-investors with open arms …
And that’s within 2 years … stunning!

What I particularly like is the Gamification of investing in the app.
There is a sense of competition & success that drives the users…. & I think that’s a great strategy.

Also, Ajay Sir is one of the smartest people in the FinTech space. You guys should follow him.
StockGro recently raised their Series A of $32 Million, & have some well reputed names on their cap-table.

I hope more & more youngsters will start their investing journey through proper understanding of the market.
The no. of stock market investors will only grow in the upcoming years & platforms like StockGro have a major role to play here.

Lastly but importantly,
if you are in your 20s, ensure you save consistently.. and invest wisely.
Every rupee is important.
