Publisher's Summary

The essential manual on generating consistent returns from the Indian stock market by Saurabh Mukherjea, the best-selling author of Coffee Can Investing and The Unusual Billionaires.

Over the last few years, there has been a growing realization among Indians that their life's savings, the bulk of which are parked in physical assets like real estate and gold, are unlikely to help them generate sufficient returns to fund their financial goals, including retirement. At the same time, many have lost their hard-earned money trying to invest in financial assets, including debt and equities. Such losses have occurred due to many reasons, such as corporate frauds, weak business models, and misallocation of capital by the companies in whose shares unsuspecting investors parked their savings. What options do Indian savers then have to invest in and build their wealth?

Diamonds in the Dust offers Indian savers a simple, yet highly effective, investment technique to identify clean, well-managed Indian companies that have consistently generated outsized returns for investors. Based on in-depth research conducted by the award-winning team at Marcellus Investment Managers, it uses case studies and charts to help listeners learn the art and science of investing in the US three-trillion-dollar Indian stock market.

The book also debunks many notions of investing that have emerged from the misguided application of Western investment theories in the Indian context.

Vital and indispensable, this book will serve as the ultimate manual on investing and provide practical counsel to listeners to achieve their financial goals.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Narrow in focus

the books reads like a marketing material for HNIs in Mumbai. Cherry picked examples that seems to target vulnerable wealthy people with a fairly skewed sense of where they should (author's fund) and should not (everything else) spend. the book doesn't do justice to its core subject and could have been more intellectually appealing with to the point narrative. everything cannot be made dumb (like investing is like test cricket) for audience - let them do the hardwork - it's better for readers.

Good read

There are very few books that go into this level of details on the Indian businesses, how they perform, their thought process for building the company and taking the stock holder along on the compounding journey.

Awesome book on Capital Markets

I hv read other books by this author ( Saurabh) and team .. and it is league with all of them right up there.

I found the book honest and practical .. With the so much murkiness in the corporate sector .. this books show how you can identify "Diamonds in the Dust" It also a book of hope that , there are still some business men with scruples in our country when majority of them are plain and simple dishonest

Catchy title and amazing narration

This was my first book on Investing and I would say it was a great kick start to my investment journey. Amazing data points and narration are the key traits of this book which compels a listener to complete it in one sitting.
