The Business Studies Society of Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram hosted a ‘Stock Talk’ on the 5th of May 2016 for the students of class XII. The event consisted of insightful interactions with three eminent speakers. The objective of the event was to inform and encourage the youth of the society to participate in the nation’s stock exchange.
Ms Vasundhara Bahadur, London School of Economics alumnus, currently studying in Smith College, began by explaining the subject to the students and soon had the audience enthralled. She talked about the basic concepts – the accounts involved, the do’s and don’ts, and the procedure – of exchanging stocks. She even showed how shares are exchanged, live in the National Stock Exchange.
Ms. Bhuvana Ravi, Director, Abhay Capital Services Pvt. Ltd. and Ravi Rajan & Company Pvt. Ltd.introduced the live nature of the stock exchange and helped make sense out of the plethora of numbers that often confuse students.
Mr Ajay Singh, a leading personality in this area, made the event even more memorable by giving it a personal touch. He narrated stories and interesting anecdotes out of his own experience while working with stocks and other business personalities.
Overall, the event was extremely enlightening- the perfect push for beginners wishing to dabble in shares.
