Independent Retail Investor

No boss to heed, no customers to satisfy & no employees to manage. The ultimate luxury of this pursuit is its ability to scale infinitely without sacrificing autonomy.

Context & Perspective

I recognize the immense role of luck in my journey. Born into an affluent environment where basic necessities are a non-issue, I acknowledge that this privilege is rare in India, where such security belongs to less than 5% of the population.

Coupled with my luck in possessing a top-tier cognitive advantage, I transitioned from 15 years as software developer into full-time equity investing in 2023, without the standard fear of consequences. If you are considering a similar leap, remember, mine is not a story of overcoming challenges or "grinding". It is a story of pure, systemic luck. Do not mistake my path for a blueprint.

Investment Philosophy

I do not discuss stock ideas. Rationality is a fragile thing, easily corrupted by external bias and social pressure. To protect my ability to think clearly, I have always operated in isolation.

This website serves a specific purpose. It allows those who are curious about my picks, to see them without requiring a discussion. This transparency is my barrier against social influence.

Personality

I am not a very social person. I don't find much joy in large gatherings and maintain no social media presence. My life outside the markets is reserved for travel with a very small, select circle of people who understand—and tolerate—my eccentricities.
