CONFESSIONS OF STOCK MARKET WIZARDS – Doyens Of Indian Investing on Their Biggest Learnings By Safir Anand

If there’s one place that is never devoid of excitement, it’s the stock market, yet, there is an intrinsic method to this madness. Capturing this dual reality, stock market expert and award winning IPR lawyer, Safir Anand authors the best seller book CONFESSIONS OF STOCK MARKET WIZARDS. Interviewing over a dozen market gurus he gets India’s top investors and stock market legends, such as Ramesh Damani, Samir Arora, S. Naren, Ram Deo Agrawal, Sanjoy Bhattacharya, Rajeev Thakkar, Prashant Khemka, Vijay Kedia and Vikas Khemani amongst others, to open up about their investing mistakes and, as a result, their biggest moments of learning.

The author Safir Anand shares, “In recent years, India’s investment ecosystem has garnered significant attention, with both domestic and international investors eager to tap into its growing potential. As India rises as a global economic power, curiosity about the inner workings of its market—its patterns, growth drivers, and psychological behaviours—continues to grow. To better understand these dynamics, I interviewed 26 prominent fund managers from India’s investment ecosystem. These conversations provided valuable insights into the technical and psychological factors driving the market. Beyond typical industry knowledge, these experts revealed how the market is influenced not just by data, but by human psychology, emotions, and behaviour. Confessions of Stock Market Wizards is a compilation of these insights, offering readers a deep dive into the intricacies of the market.”

Sachin Sharma, Publisher, HarperCollins, says, “Safir Anand has managed to put together a rare book where India’s top investing minds, for the first time, open up about their biggest mistakes and the learnings that they got as a result. This book will serve as a guiding light to all investors who wish to learn from the mistakes of others.”
