Have you ever heard of a CEO firing himself from the company he co-founded? Our next story on @mundhebanni is exactly that, and much more. From a decade-long career in tech to taking a bold leap into the world of investing, what started as a simple blog with deep, no-nonsense insights has today evolved into one of India’s most trusted investment research and portfolio management platforms, managing thousands of crores. Yes, we are talking about @deepakshenoy, founder of Capitalmind. Why would someone leave a stable career to enter a space as unpredictable as the stock market? What does the journey from Thirthahalli to Surathkal to Bengaluru to Mumbai and back to Bengaluru really look like? In this conversation, we go beyond the journey. What does it take to move from managing your own money to managing others’ money? How do you build a profitable, sustainable business over 12 years without chasing funding? And in a world full of “finance influencers”, what truly sets Capitalmind apart? We also dive into the questions everyone is thinking about but few answer clearly, mistakes beginners make, ideal diversification, emergency funds, AI trading hype, and how to think long term in uncertain markets. Trailer and episode drop this week. @Shishir_S_U @kodlady @akaranth
