Speaking today at the Business Standard summit...on global investing See you there! @bsindia @fghumsmallcase @firstglobalsec

Can you tell me who gave you what last Diwali? I am sure you will draw a blank...or nearly so What’s a Diwali gift people remember even 20 years later? We spend time choosing sweets and accessories but do the recipients remember them even a few months later? I’ve always believed in gifts that leave a lasting impression. 📚 This Diwali, what if you gifted someone a book instead? 'Money, Myths and Mantras' could be a great start to understanding money and investing. If you want to bulk order it, send a DM right away to @firstglobalsec And of course you can order some other books. Because those are the only gifts that are remembered decades later.

Sharing some good news - getting The Most Powerful Women award from Business Today - this time for 2026 Sharing with your tribe is actually the only fun of any achievement... And of course you need the blessings of your elders and your gurus. And the best part is the joy from old teachers, old neighbours, family friends, parents and siblings of friends...people you may not have met for decades but who take such joy in your achievements Truly blessed to have many such in my life 🙏🙏🙏 Also in a broader sense while at IIM and in the earlier years of my career I thought all achievements were gender agnostic and I never underlined the woman part, now I do because I realise girls and young women do not have enough role models... And so many young women come up and say that "You are an inspiration that it can be done"... So now I take that role a bit seriously especially as women's causes have been close to my heart since age 10 Wearing a saree with a craft from my hometown and bangles gifted by a school friend to represent my roots and my friends and family... Because they are all a part of where I reached One of the highlights of the evening for me was this conversation with the captain and vice captain of the gold medal winning women's hockey team (which happened after some four plus decades)... And happened after a set back where they did not even qualify for the Olympics Navneet Kaur, the vice captain said that she regularly stands in front of the mirror and tells herself in Punjabi: "Navneet Kaur, there is no one better than you. You are the best." There was also the captain of the gold medal winning kabaddi team I thought there was the best panel of the evening As an aside all three of them said their favourite movie was Chak De 😄 Even the captain of the hockey team comes from a village where even till date there is no mobile signal. She used to go for her hockey practice sitting behind her father on a bicycle But she said she had this vision that she would excel in hockey All of them manifested the visions that the first had in their heads... Which is a lesson for all of us as most of us face neither their starting challenges nor the going head to head with the best in the world. Kudos to our champion sports people 👏👏👏 @business_today @firstglobalsec @fghumsmallcase

Can a book about opium also be about business? In 'Smoke and Ashes' by Amitav Ghosh uncovers the surprising links between opium, colonial power, global trade and fortunes across the world from the Indian subcontinent to Eastern United States. It’s a side of business history we rarely talk about. Love books that challenge your perspective? Add this one to your reading list. Need help navigating markets and investing?

Higher profit margins always mean a better business. Right? Not necessarily. Two companies can operate in the same industry but follow very different business models. To understand which business is performing better, you need to look beyond profit margins. How? Watch this video to understand Want to comprehend financial ratios and analyse businesses better?

A high ROE may look impressive, but I always believe in looking beyond the number. What’s driving it? Strong profit margins, efficient use of assets, or borrowed money? The answer can tell us a lot about a company and the risks behind its returns. In investing, understanding how a company generates returns matters just as much as the returns themselves. Have a question about analysing a company’s financials? DM @firstglobalsec
