Personal Finance and Investing in India
Stock market flows, IPO booms, SIP records and the everyday decisions — gold, US stocks, home buying and bank safety — that shape how Indians invest. Official RBI, SEBI and government data are kept separate from editorial analysis, never presented as investment advice.
Live Status
Foreign institutional investors have pulled over ₹2.3 lakh crore, but domestic institutional buying above ₹5.13 lakh crore — fed partly by record SIP inflows — has kept Nifty from a sharper fall.

SIPs and mutual funds, short-term investment options, US stock investing, and gold as an asset class.
