India has lowest data prices.

Sridhar Vembu recently highlighted that India's low-cost ecosystem sets a high bar for affordability that foreign players struggle to match.

While Jio expands low-cost connectivity like AirFiber across rural India, Starlink’s high cost keeps it strictly a niche, complementary option for hard to reach locations.

Existing Starlink users overseas are already feeling the heat, with order receipts showing a $130 with an extra $1,500 "Demand Surcharge".

Cropster and cian agro lovers assemble

It feels like they have been stuck in these stocks for days now with how they move in sync. Is there anyone else out there who is currently trapped in the same situation as me? I am just trying to figure out if I am the only one feeling the frustration of this wild ride. It is honestly exhausting to keep tracking these two every single morning. Let me know if you are holding onto these stocks or if you have already decided to call it quits.

I am fully frustrated with these two stocks; they just messed up my entire portfolio. As a beginner, I got some suggestions through SMS and believed in Cropster and got scammed.

This will be the reason for Indian market crash

Brokers offering 5x leverage for 10% interest cost.

Think about it. Market is down 15% from peak. So a 15% drop is a 75% loss for you if you entered there on max leverage (which most ppl tend to do).

On top of that running cost of interest burning a hole in your pocket.

Add on to that the nonsensical habit of 'buying the dip' to justify the first buy, instead of booking loss and sitting out.

A little more fall and liquidations cascade. I pray for those who are in this.

How cooked I am?

My investments are constantly negative since 2024.

P.S. if I really calculate based on real prices I am down almost 10-12 Lakhs.

I want advice from fellow investors.

What should be my strategy to recover these losses?

I often think to close my account and put this money in FD.

I will atleast start to get positive returns in this case.

INDmoney withdrawal vs vested withdrawal in USD

Hi Team

I was evaluating INDmoney vs vested. Wanted to transfer funds from fidelity/morgan Stanley in order to diversify but wanted to confirm the withdrawal process from both

I mainly wanted to know how do you guys negotiate rates when you withdraw money from INDmoney ?
In vested, we have option to withdraw money in USD and then we can negotiate with our RM on the conversion rates. But INDmoney doesn’t seem to have that option

Has anybody evaluated this before ?

Never get attached to Money

I am 10yrs experienced started trading around july 2026 and building my portfolio bits by bits but This was the last chunk of my portfolio which i exited in February 2026. 80% was exited around December! I dont even want to imagine the consequences of keeping these all investments positions open .
It felt bad exiting all positions because while investing i was considering it as my retirement fund but during july 2025 data started changing bearish positions opened up and started stacking up.
I had 500% to 700% returns in some positions but yes its all about decision making trusting your knowledge and it felt really right when i did that! Not good not bad but it felt right and i guess Thats the way to handle this liquidity.

I have around ₹5 lakh and I’m looking to grow it to ₹10–15 lakh over the next 1–1.5 years because I need the money for my sister’s wedding.

I have around ₹5 lakh and I’m looking to grow it to ₹10–15 lakh over the next 1–1.5 years because I need the money for my sister’s wedding.

I generally invest only in the Indian stock market. I know these kinds of returns are risky, but I’d like to know which stocks people think have strong upside potential during this market correction.

Please suggest 2–3 stocks and mention:

- Current price & target

- Stop-loss

- Why you like the stock

- Valuation/fundamentals

- Sector growth story

- Possible catalysts for a 2x/3x/4x move

Please don’t just drop stock names. I’m looking for proper reasoning so I can research the ideas myself.

Trapped by SEBI-Registered RA "Wealthy Brains" (Akash Khatri)

Hi everyone,
I am an undergraduate college student and wanted to share how a SEBI-registered Research Analyst entity, Wealthy Brains (Proprietor: Akash Khatri, SEBI Regn No: INH000009764), took advantage of me, and ask for legal/arbitration guidance before my upcoming hearing.

  1. The Modus Operandi & Cold Calling Trap
    In March 2025, representatives from Wealthy Brains (sales caller named Kirti, later joined by manager Sandeep) began cold-calling me.
    They leveraged their SEBI registration as an absolute guarantee of credibility, pitching an "Earn & Learn" program where they promised live market mentorship and claimed an "80% accuracy rate" with "8% to 10% daily return on capital."
    They gave me a trial demo trade, which yielded paper profits, convincing me to arrange an initial ₹5,118 registration fee via credit card.
  2. Multi-Tier Extortion within 48 Hours (₹61,416 Total)
    Once the initial fee was paid, their manager sent a 30–40 page disclosure packet and explicitly told me over the phone: "No need to read that stuff, it’s just company formalities. Everything important will be handled live on call."
    They instructed me to deploy ₹30,000 capital into stock options without stop-losses. The position quickly started bleeding ₹20,000.
    Instead of risk management, they manufactured extreme panic: they refused to give exit guidance or recovery trades unless I paid additional fees.
    Over the next 48 hours, under severe distress, I was charged 4 separate overlapping invoices totaling ₹61,416:
  3. 03 March 2025: ₹5,118 (Registration/Trial)
  4. 04 March 2025 (Morning): ₹20,472 (Quarterly Classic Equity)
  5. 04 March 2025 (Evening): ₹10,236 (Monthly Service, extorted while trades were bleeding)
  6. 05 March 2025: ₹25,590 (Platinum Upgrade under duress)
  7. Sham SMS Logs vs. Destructive Verbal F&O Directives
    Wealthy Brains broadcasted generic cash equity SMS alerts to simulate paper compliance. Over the phone, their callers explicitly ordered: "Ignore the SMS alerts; they are just regulatory formalities for SEBI. You are upgraded to our premium call desk—follow only our verbal instructions."
    They directed unhedged Nifty/Bank Nifty derivative trades, forced me to hold losing options overnight across expiry days, and pushed me to borrow/deploy my college semester savings (₹1.20 Lakhs), which was entirely wiped out.
    Whenever I tried to record their incoming calls, the automated alert "This call is now being recorded" played. They instantly hung up, called back, and threatened to terminate my subscription and withhold all assistance if I ever recorded them again. They claimed: "We are SEBI-registered, so our system records everything automatically under SEBI rules; you don't need to record."
  8. Coerced ₹10,000 Partial Refund (Economic Duress)
    In July 2025, when I faced an urgent college tuition fee deadline of ₹9,500, I pleaded for a refund.
    Wealthy Brains withheld the funds and refused to release even a single rupee unless I emailed a pre-drafted message stating the issue was "resolved." Under financial duress, I sent it.
    However, on 21 and 22 July 2025, immediately after receiving the ₹10,000, I sent written protests clarifying that this was not a full-and-final settlement, that promises were unfulfilled, and reserving all rights to legal/regulatory remedies.
  9. Current Case Status
    I filed complaints via SEBI SCORES, online FIR , and the NSE ODR mechanism. Pre-conciliation at NSE failed to resolve the matter.
    The dispute has escalated to formal Online Dispute Resolution on CADRE ODR claiming ₹51,416 (balance fees).
    In his formal reply on CADRE ODR:
    Akash Khatri admitted collecting all 4 payments in March 2025.
    He stated he is willing to produce records if directed by the Conciliator.
    He conceded that the legal enforceability of the ₹10,000 settlement under coercion is subject to the Conciliator’s determination.
    Questions for Legal & Market Experts:
  10. Section 19 / Economic Duress: How do conciliators/arbitrators typically view forced "full and final" waiver emails when the client has contemporaneous written email protests lodged immediately after (21–22 July 2025)?
  11. RA vs. IA Scope Violation: Since Wealthy Brains holds only a Research Analyst (RA) registration and not an Investment Adviser (IA) license, does providing personalized, live, one-on-one intraday execution instructions on call constitute an illegal advisory operation under SEBI regulations?
  12. 5-Year Call Recording Mandate: Under Regulation 25(1)(vii) of SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, if the Respondent fails to produce their mandatory CRM audio logs of the calls where they gave verbal F&O directives, will the Arbitrator draw an adverse inference against them?
  13. Escalation to Binding Arbitration: If they refuse to refund the ₹51,416 during conciliation on Monday, what specific points should I ensure are recorded in the failure report before the case automatically moves to CADRE Arbitration (45-day binding award stage)?
  14. What additional steps can I take before SEBI Enforcement, RAASB (Research Analyst Administration and Supervisory Body), or the Consumer Forum to ensure their license is audited and other retail students aren't misled?

I always had a hunch not to invest in IT stocks for long-term. TCS currently sits just 1.8% above its 2020 rates.

IT is a fairy-dust industry. It doesn't have enough hard assets to retain its sky-high valuations during a downturn. Be careful when investing in companies that rely primarily on IP and labour for valuations rather than real, complex, physical infrastructure.

Quoting Mark Hanna from The Wolf of Wall Street: "It's fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not real."
