That One Idea by WaterBridge Ventures

From Writing Blogs to Launching a Mutual Fund with Deepak Shenoy, Founder of Capitalmind


Listen Later

Deepak brings a refreshing perspective to the world of public-market investing with his humour, sharp analyses and candid opinions. To many, market commentary is as exciting as a mutual fund’s T&C. Deepak Shenoy is the antidote.

He turned a humble blog into a ₹2,000+ crore asset management powerhouse, serving returns of 27%+ annually to 1400+ PMS and AIF clients. Deepak also authored “Money Wise”, a best-selling book for people who hate jargon but love money.

Most recently, Capitalmind Financial Services received the final approval from SEBI to launch the Capitalmind Mutual Fund, joining a concentrated industry having fewer than 50 players.
