I am an 18 year old student, pursing a dual degree course (MBA TECH) in Data Science, from NMIMS Mumbai. I have been passionate about capital markets and investing since I was twelve years old. At that age, I began learning how businesses work, how markets reflect value, and how disciplined investing can create long-term wealth. I started by managing a paper fund, simulating investments, and tracking performance. This early experience taught me the importance of patience, critical thinking, and understanding the businesses behind the stocks.

Investment Approach
I combine the lessons from all these thinkers into a single guiding principle.
Every investment begins with the business itself. I analyze fundamentals, quality, and long-term prospects rather than reacting to short-term market trends. I focus on owning strong, well-managed companies at attractive valuations and prefer a concentrated portfolio where I have high conviction.
Daily Practice
I spend significant time reading annual reports, understanding sector dynamics, and studying business strategies. I avoid speculative moves and instead look for opportunities where the market undervalues quality.
Investing is not just a profession for me; it is a disciplined practice of observation, reflection, and understanding human behavior.My goal is to grow capital responsibly while staying true to the principles I have learned over more than a decade of study and practice.
