The event spans 4 weeks and offers students an opportunity to learn from stock market stalwarts and earn prizes for building a winning portfolio
An average millennial starts investing in stock markets typically between the age group of 25-30, primarily when he/she becomes professionally active. However, knowledge knows no boundaries and when it comes to investment, an early start always gives better returns. With millennials now exploring different avenues of investment, StockGro aims to help them step into the world of stocks and investment at a young age.
In this endeavor, StockGro has joined hands with ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) and NIRC (Northern India Regional Council Of ICAI) to launch exclusive Knowledge Series and Stock Market Competition – “War of Wall Street” under Capital Market and Investors Protection initiative. The event spans 4 weeks and offers students an opportunity to learn from stock market stalwarts and earn prizes for building a winning portfolio.
StockGro is India’s first social investment platform with a gamified virtual interface that enables users to discover trading strategies, compete and interact with some of the country’s best minds. With this partnership, StockGro aims to help over 6 lac students and 4 lac professionals learn the nuances of the stock market.
The event will begin on June 18th where the StockGro leagues span across 4 weeks between June 18 to July 16th, 2021, and give away INR 2,00,000 in Prize Money to the winners. The Knowledge Series will include 4 knowledge sessions and Fire-Side Chat over the weekends with Stock Market Experts and leading Investors sharing their insights.
Speaking about the initiative, Ajay Lakhotia, Founder, StockGro said, “Our education system makes us job-ready, but it does not make us Investment ready. Our culture, our family teaches us how to save money, but no one teaches us how to invest money. At StockGro, we are on a mission to make millennials Investment ready. This mission is bigger than me, bigger than our team and our investors. We are thrilled to partner with ICAI and applaud their thought leadership in enabling the students to learn the practical application of their financial knowledge and facilitate the Knowledge Series and launch National Level Competition for CA Students with StockGro”
