In my TEDxBITSHyderabad talk "Investing 101: A Beginner's Guide" I walk through my early trading days, the evolution of my methods, and the growth of Zerodha and True Beacon.
I started trading full time at about 17, around 2003-2004.
My first big win was Marsoft, a tiny penny stock I bought around Rs 4 and sold at Rs 20.
By the time of the talk Zerodha handled about 17-18% of the country's trading volume.
True Beacon is our asset management business, a hedge fund running long‑short strategies in Indian markets for a select group of ultra‑high‑net‑worth investors.
