Formerly Head of PMS and CIO at Kotak Mahindra AMC, he shares how he built wealth from the ground up through disciplined investing, risk-taking, and long-term thinking. In this conversation, Anshul explains why the ability to tolerate volatility is a key investing advantage, how he deployed capital during the 2008 financial crisis, and why investor behaviour matters more than information. He breaks down valuation versus narrative, the risks of overpaying for growth, the psychology behind market cycles, and his framework for challenging investment theses through inversion. The discussion also covers India’s long-term opportunity, the AI and Magnificent Seven debate, portfolio construction, behavioural biases, and the principles that have shaped his investing journey. – Anshul Siagal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anshul-saigal-9404674/ Subscribe: The 1% Club YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FWSClips0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onepercentclubshow/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/school/the-1-clubfws Sharan Hegde: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/financewithsharan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharanhegde95/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/financewsharan – Sharan Hegde is a personal finance creator & founder of the 1% Club, simplifying money, markets, and mindset for India’s next generation of wealth builders. – Timeline: 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - How Anshul Built Wealth from Zero 03:55 - Risk-Taking Mindset & Why 95% Choose Safety 05:22 - Why It's Hard to Get Rich on a Salary 06:10 - Only 2-3% Have Fire in the Belly to Be Rich 07:12 - The 2008 Lehman Crisis Story 08:55 - Highest Portfolio Volatility in 2.5 Years 14:34 - Is There a Bubble Forming in AI? 15:24 - Should You Invest in Magnificent 7 Stocks? 19:42 - India's Manufacturing Transformation Story 21:36 - What Could Go Wrong for India? 22:18 -The Truth About Insider Information & Edge 29:06 - Invert, Always Invert: Charlie Munger's Mental Model 31:52 - How to Eliminate Bias in Investing 32:29 - Rapid Fire Round 40:18 - Conclusion – Connect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/financewithsharan/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/financewithsharan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharanhegde95/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/financewsharan #financewithsharan #finance #sharan
