For Mumbai-based mass media graduate Shivani Thakkar, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to be a part of the dazzling world of stocks, and she’s not looked back ever since. “I had no idea what I was getting into when I purchased the first bunch of five shares of a tech company. I was 19 and had earned a small amount of money from an internship. My brother suggested I invest that money into shares, and today, I can say I am an active investor. I look up details of the company, its performance, stock prices and rate of dividend before I buy and sell, and have built a tiny amount of capital,” says the 21-year-old.
