Indian markets vs. US markets over the last 2 years: A brutal reality check. 📉📈
While Wall Street ripped higher, domestic returns got quietly hollowed out by currency drag and tax & STT hike
🇺🇸 Nasdaq-100: +50.6%
🇺🇸 S&P 500: +36.8%
🇮🇳 Nifty 50 (USD adj): -17.0%
we have underperformed US market by 50-65
% in last 2 Years( Roughly )
Why the silent wealth destruction?
🚨 Severe Rupee depreciation
🚨 Aggressive STCG & LTCG tax & STT hikes
Note : I hope one day someone in Finance Ministry will see these numbers and correct the mistakes..

And it seems like FIIs are also coming back, or not selling anymore.
We need another good quarter and this Diwali could be a bumper bonanza.
Go India 🇮🇳

They can change your posting. They can take away your chair. They can move you from one place to another.
But they cannot move your integrity.
That’s the kind of courage India needs. 🇮🇳
When you trade stocks in India, you take 100% of the risk ?
But look who takes a cut on every single trade:
Brokers (Fees)
Exchanges (Transaction costs)
Regulator (SEBI charges)
Government (STT, Stamp Duty, GST)
And the craziest part?
If you actually survive all those costs and make a quick profit, the Government steps right back in to take a massive slice of your winnings through Short-Term Capital Gains Tax. 🤯
You carry all the weight while feeding 4 silent partners.
Trade less. Trade better.

Want to pressurise for 0DTE expiry at 3:15 pm for avoiding #CAS impact?
Pressurise NSE ahead of IPO.
How to simply do it?
Traders boycott NSE and trade in Sensex derivatives.
BSE is also a culprit here but the easy pressure point is NSE as IPO is coming. If you agree, please spread the message by tweeting or reporting.
Before 1957, India's currency followed a different system.
The adoption of the decimal currency system made ₹1 equal to 100 paise, bringing greater simplicity to everyday calculations.

Indian Automakers just topped the world in EV efficiency. Not Tesla. Not BYD. Tata and Mahindra.
Among the world's 22 largest automakers, Tata Motors and Mahindra posted the lowest energy consumption per km in 2025, beating Tesla and BYD on efficiency.
Indian engineering, built for Indian roads, is now setting the global benchmark.

GURINDERVIR SINGH- the Fastest Man of India⚡
‘10.09.’ That’s all it took for Gurindervir to shatter and rewrite the National Record books in the 100m. What a phenomenal achievement by a young athlete who has given Indian athletics a moment to celebrate and dream even bigger.🇮🇳
And by the time you finish reading this, he probably would have already completed another 100 metres. Now that is what you call lightning fast.
My op-ed in @timesofindia on the rupee:
https://t.co/bvVoq7bGZK
There is nothing automatic about foreign exchange running out. Only the RBI can deplete reserves. The policy question is whether to deplete reserves to support the rupee. I argue that there are ample grounds to let the rupee adjust to arrive at lower imports, higher exports, and to encourage capital inflows. Intervention in FX markets can wait another day.
One of the worst performing indices in the world over the last 2 years.
One of the worst performing currencies in the world over the last 2 years.
The world is moving ahead, India is being left behind. Forget fresh foreign inflows, over ₹10 lakh crore has already been sold in the last 3 years.
If we are supposedly the best, then why do the numbers say the exact opposite?
Why not bring active changes in policies?
You don’t get answers until you start asking questions.
Stop worshipping, Start questioning, At the end of the day, a country’s progress matters more than political progress.
Google is approaching a $5 trillion market cap — bigger than the entire GDP of India.
One company outperforming a whole country through innovation, massive scale, less corruption, and less bureaucracy.
Superb.. GOI should learn from this.. Only increasing tax and #STT not work
Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:
Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.
On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.
He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.
If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.
