A few years ago, I remember opening my Demat account and seeing shares priced at ₹3, ₹8, and ₹15. They looked like an obvious shortcut. If a ₹10 stock moved to ₹20, I could double my money, right? That thought becomes even more tempting when you are a salaried investor, already running a ₹5,000 SIP … Read more >>
I still remember how confusing investing felt at first. You open a Demat account, hear about SIPs, see mutual funds, stocks, and ETFs, and then someone mentions PMS as if it were a premium club for wealthy investors.
