 Title: How to Start Investing in the Indian Stock Market: A Beginner’s Guide

Are you ready to grow your wealth but don’t know where to start? The Indian stock market offers exciting opportunities, even for beginners. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you start investing the right way.

Step 1: Understand the Basics

The stock market is where companies raise money by offering shares to the public. Investors buy and sell these shares through stock exchanges like the NSE and BSE.

Step 2: Open a Demat & Trading Account

You’ll need two accounts:

• Demat Account: Stores your shares electronically.

• Trading Account: Allows you to buy/sell those shares.

Platforms like Zerodha, Groww, and Upstox make this easy and online.

Step 3: Set a Budget

Only invest money you won’t need in the short term. Start small — even ₹500 is enough to buy your first shares or mutual fund units.

Step 4: Choose Your First Investment

Beginners often start with:

• Mutual Funds

• Index Funds

• Large Cap Stocks like Infosys, Reliance, or TCS

Avoid risky stocks in the beginning.

Step 5: Monitor & Learn

Follow financial news, learn from YouTube channels like CA Rachana Ranade or Pranjal Kamra, and stay consistent.

Pro Tip: Never invest blindly — always research before buying any stock!
