Passive income current
trading is passive income for young Indians
Apart from reduced access barriers to the capital markets, the non-metro regions offer these companies a young, up-and-coming India in which financial freedom is a major topic, said industry experts.
"A single source of income is not enough if you want to get rich. You should have a passive income that is higher than your active income that can cover your expenses," said 25-year-old IQShan Aggarwal from Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. "This is freedom that offers investing and acting."
Aggarwal, which has a full -time position at a pharmaceutical consulting company, acts daily and has a diversified portfolio of direct investment funds and shares. A small part of his investment is in cryptocurrency.

Aanchal started trading after completing a financial education course at Havenspire, an online learning platform for stock exchange trading.

ritvik Vipin, Chairman of Havenspire, said: “Many young people from cities in the second and third category have lost their jobs during a year. Most of these young people who are now trying out new ways for a stable career are now of the opinion that the stock trade is, among other things, a more reliable option. Animal 1 cities are not the families and friends of these young people knowledgeable enough to inform them about the stock trade. ”
Fresh catch

The platform worked with brands like Muthoot Finance, the Crypto trading platform Coinswitch Kuber and the online broker Upstox.
"The sources of information to which potential investors could access were only in English. So that used to be a deterrent," said Pranjal Kamra, CEO of Finology, a financial advisory company.
