By Teja Sai Reddy Have you ever watched a perfectly built house of cards wobble when someone opens a window? That is exactly what happened to the Indian stock market today.

By Ayan Kr Gogoi Investor wealth equivalent to approximately ₹11 trillion has been wiped out from the Indian stock market in just a matter of days as rising tensions between the US, Israel and Iran have created havoc on global financial markets and prompted a sudden flight to safety across all asset classes.

By Vijay Venkatesh B When Smart Money Retreats: Hedge Funds Trim AI Heavyweights in 2026   Major investment firms, including Tiger Global and Adage Capital, have quietly begun cutting their positions in AI-focused mega-cap stocks. This is not a stampede out the door but the direction of travel carries a message every investor needs to understand.  Something is changing quietly at the top of institutional finance. The hedge funds that rode the artificial intelligence wave to e

By Nithish Raj SR Who Is George Soros?    When people talk about figures who genuinely reshaped modern finance, George Soros sits near the top of that list and near the top of the controversy rankings too. He made his name as a global macro investor and hedge fund manager, placing audacious bets on currencies, stock markets, and economic shifts around the world. Those bets turned him into a billionaire and gave him one of finance's most memorable nicknames: "the man who broke

By S. Raveena Introduction   Global stock markets are feeling shaky, but not for the usual reasons. It’s not mainly about rising interest rates, high inflation, or political tensions this time. The concern now is artificial intelligence and what it could mean for people working in office jobs.  Think about companies in IT, consulting, law, or finance. They earn money because of the knowledge and skills of their employees. Their people are their product. But if AI tools can do

By Teja Sai Reddy Introduction A Tokyo Titan (MUFG) Bets Big on India with the ₹39,600 Crore MUFG-Shriram Finance Deal.

By Nithish Raj SR Introduction Most people know Michael Burry because of The Big Short and his famous bet against the housing market before the 2008 financial crisis. But reducing his entire career to that one trade misses how methodical and disciplined he really is as an investor. He built his track record by digging into neglected data, doing painstaking fundamental research, and having the confidence to stand apart from consensus views. This piece goes beyond the headline

By Abhishek Reddy The upward trend of Indian equity markets began to show signs of weakening in 2025. Initially, analysts saw great challenges for investors as experienced foreign investors left the markets, while the rupee declined and concerns over global trade tensions developed. Additionally, the growth in earnings from companies did not grow at the same rate across sectors. But when investors began to consider the changes made by 2025, it started becoming clear that this

By Varun Kumar E The Stock Brokers Regulations 2025, as established by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), represent a new direction for Indian capital market regulation that modernizes and establishes a more comprehensive system for the regulation of stockbrokers in India. The Stock Broker Reform was needed due to the rapid growth and evolution of E-Trading, algorithmic trading, and participation of retail investors. In addition, by establishing a new set of r

By Lekhan Small-Cap Stocks face prolonged headwinds due to the valuation challenge. The Indian small cap stock segment has hit a rough patch in 2025, and according to market observers, the troubles are far from over. After two stellar years that saw these stocks surge nearly 93%, the segment now confronts a stark reality, prices rose much faster than underlying business performance, and the bill for that mismatch has come due.For investors who supported the small cap wave thr

By Shyam Sundar B Introduction: the ‘VIP Pass’ to the Global Economy Think of the world’s most elite international club: the wealthiest investors around the world who can buy anything, go anywhere, and do anything, if they so choose. Until November of 2025, India had to wait at the door. Until then, the other members, significant Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), had given only positive responses to India’s entry. That situation has changed, and the Indian financial market

By Mehul Introduction After a brief phase of stability in October, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) once again turned cautious toward Indian equities in November 2025, withdrawing nearly ₹12,569 crore  from the market. This renewed selling marks a continuation of the trend visible throughout much of the year, in which global investors shifted their focus toward economies perceived as at the forefront of the technology and artificial-intelligence boom. As capital increasingl

By Raveena S From Dockyards to Dow Jones: The Shockwave Begins The tremble that shook global equities did not start in New York or London – it started in Asia’s shipyards. In mid-October 2025, China punished five companies connected to a South Korean shipbuilder, Hanwha Ocean, because it believed they were helping the U.S. investigate China’s shipbuilding industry. Washington quickly retaliated with port-fee restrictions on Chinese-flagged vessels. What seemed like a niche ma

By Abhishek Reddy The Perennial Illusion of the Single-Asset Bet The loud and clear rallying cry that has reverberated through the investment universe for years now is unequivocal: equity is king. Inasmuch as long-term, value-increasing-after-inflation returns are concerned, no case can be made against the equity market. Yet, with this singular focus on equities often comes a very fundamental oversight in the way risk is managed. This is something the last year has reminded u

By Barnima Paul Introduction The Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE), one of India's oldest stock exchanges, had its final session on October 20, 2025, marking the end of a 117-year-old institution.

By Vijay Venkatesh B In October 2025, India's capital markets are witnessing an unparalleled upsurge in IPOs, establishing the nation as a global leader in equity fundraising.
