Investing has never been so much fun. Nor have you had so much choice. With several economies opening up, the whole world is at your disposal.

The market boom
The market is on a giddy rise; a 1,000-point leap for the BSE Sensex is now an established fact of life. Though you’ll have occasional dips, your money will wing its way upward most of the time. Most of the stock is correctly valued; returns on investment are excellent and the economy is booming.

Indian companies are showing a new confidence. Takeovers, acquisitions and mergers in the international market are on the rise. And this is now spreading across sectors: iron and steel, spirits, manufacturing, auto parts, not just IT. And as the juggernaut rolls on, so does the equity.

In your favor
Remember this, Indian corporates are growing despite poor infrastructure and seriously tangled red tape. The government is trying to make things better, and when that happens, you’ll rejoice that you invested today.

India Inc is certainly on a high, but you haven’t seen anything yet; in market shares and sheer size, Indian companies are still toddlers. Buy that stock, and you’ll watch it grow for several decades. What this means is that your investing dollar today will return for a long, long time.

Most importantly, investing in India makes sense because the stock market is disciplined and is regulated professionally. Yes, there are those who ask for more freedom (laxity?) in the system. In its present avatar, the market offers you short-term anxiety in the form of volatility; but it also guarantees you long-term happiness in returns.

Investing in India today is the best thing you can do for tomorrow. For the NRI, the Indian stock market offers great investing value, options, and returns.

Have you already invested in the Indian stock market? Were you pleased with your investment? Do you have any opinion to share with prospective investors?
