In this insightful episode, I sat down with Deepak Shenoy, Founder & CEO of Capital Mind, for a deep dive into his 25-year journey through financial markets, entrepreneurship, and life's biggest lessons. Deepak was incredibly candid, starting with his early investing blunders, including how he lost 80% of his savings in the Dot-Com bust of 2000 and the critical lessons he learned from a "paanwala" stock tip. He shared how these formative experiences shaped his understanding of market cycles and the importance of having a solid investment framework.We then explored his powerful investment philosophies that have guided Capital Mind to manage over ₹2000 crores in its PMS. Deepak gave a detailed breakdown of his quantitative momentum strategy, explaining how he identifies market trends to generate significant returns, citing how stocks like PFC and Kane's India delivered 400-1000% returns. We also unpacked his "Surge India" thesis, a compelling framework focused on identifying opportunities in domestic manufacturing, consumption, and energy independence as India's economy grows.💡 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more such insightful conversations with top achievers from across the world!
