India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Industries and companies drive that growth by attracting investments through public and private channels. While a private limited company cannot offer its shares for public sale, a public limited company can openly sell shares to investors — making the share market a central pillar of India's financial ecosystem.
Yet today, investment in India's share market can look eerily like gambling. Why? Because while the market is booming, more than 60% of investors suffer losses. Stories of wealth creation coexist with stories of financial ruin — and in some cases, outright cyber fraud committed in the name of investment.
Market fluctuations happen because of wars, elections, natural disasters, research breakthroughs, natural resource availability — and even events in countries thousands of miles away.
