The Next 10X Stock of India? Don’t Miss This Opportunity! Ft. Samir Arora

Why Do Most Fund Managers Fail to Beat the Market? Ft. Samir Arora Can you beat the market by avoiding bad stocks instead of searching for good ones? Samir Arora, founder of Helios Capital, explains how he did it as one of India's longest-serving fund managers. He also shares his view on HDFC Bank, why he avoids FMCG, how he spotted Eternal (Zomato), Paytm, Cartrade and Ather early, whether IPOs are a lottery, and when FIIs may return to India. Samir Arora (also searched as Sameer Arora) started as a fund manager in 1993 and founded Helios Capital in 2003. In this podcast he breaks down his "via negativa" approach to stock picking, inspired by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: remove the bad stocks first, and the odds of finding winners improve. He explains his 8-factor framework, why nobody (not even promoters) can predict who will succeed, and how new-age companies are changing Indian markets. 🔔 Subscribe for more investor interviews:    / @mohitberiwala   ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Trailer 1:40 Samir Arora's philosophy of investing 8:19 The "don't buy 5 bad stocks" idea 12:31 Why most fund managers can't beat the market 13:47 Nobody knows anything: promoters, luck & opportunity 18:30 Do 500 companies become 200 good ones? 22:28 HDFC Bank: why he held it since the 1995 IPO 26:13 Paytm, Eternal, Cartrade and Ather wins 28:30 Why he avoids FMCG stocks 37:33 Are IPOs just a lottery for retail investors? 39:47 Are investors still optimistic about the stock market? 44:53 When will FIIs return to India? 52:22 8 factors to evaluate before buying a stock 55:54 Finding India's next multibagger stocks 58:13 Most important factor in stock picking 1:01:11 How his investment strategy has evolved 1:03:45 Why big Indian companies are losing out 1:07:27 What foreign investors expect from Indian companies 1:08:48 The biggest challenge every investor faces 1:11:01 Are we judging new-age companies too early? 1:14:37 Q&A 📌 KEY TAKEAWAYS Eliminating bad stocks improves your odds more than hunting for winners Nobody, including promoters, can reliably predict who will succeed Red flags to screen out: high valuation, weak earnings growth, heavy government influence, disruption risk, poor governance India's next wealth creators may be new-age companies, not old FMCG and IT names About Mohit Beriwala Mohit Beriwala, CFA, FRM, is the Founder of Shree Rama Managers LLP, a SEBI-registered Portfolio Management Service (PMS) (INP300007341).
