Most Indian investors begin with a Demat account, a digital account that holds shares, and a trading account, which lets them buy and sell shares on the NSE or BSE.

If you already invest through the NSE or BSE, you may have faced this question: “Should I keep every rupee invested only in India?” I had the same doubt when I first started.
