Navigating volatile times
One of India’s most eminent investors and a Dalal Street veteran, Shankar Sharma shared his views and learnings on market cycles and specific lessons for young, first-time retail investors in an effort to further Stocktwits’s vision of connecting with and educating retail investors across the board. With over three decades of market experience, Shankar Sharma is the Founder of GQuant Investech & Co-Founder of First Global.


Stocktwits’ global mission is to reimagine the future of investing and provide a platform to host the global conversation for investors and traders across assets, styles and experience levels. Through this first-of-its-kind initiative, Stocktwits set out to leverage Shankar Sharma’s investing experience to assist and inform the next generation of investors.
Stocktwits’ India plans: Road ahead
Stocktwits’ India launch corresponds with growth in the retail investing landscape across the country, with participation from Tier II and III cities – including first-time investors under the age of 25 – fueling this growth. With a plethora of information on financial markets being easily accessible to consumers today, it is critical for investors to have access to communities to make more informed investment decisions.


Stocktwits is a leading US-based social community of investors & traders and is now entering India. So far, Stocktwits has established itself as one of the leading voices of investing in India and built an active community of over 600,000 Indian investors across its various social media platforms and newsletters. The next phase of Stocktwits’ India roll-out will include platform localisation and continued partnerships with India’s leading investing voices and fintech companies.
