How to Beat the Current Market Red? Alternative Investments

Hey everyone, I'm a consultant and financial planner based in Mumbai. The last few years has seen a growing number of high earning individuals investing 20-40% of their monthly pay in direct equities/MFs. It is elating to see so many people relying on self for their research, engaging with their insights on platforms, making the most of the resources online.

The current market volatility has certainly shaded the enthusiasm, but even before this, I've come across many of my friends, clients, collaborators with an interest to explore & invest in real businesses and real assets, structures which feel tangible and close to them. A business they can add value to, become part of the key strategic mandates. Some have a yearning to invest in something fun, interesting, and fulfilling, something which returns non-economic gains too. Some want to invest in rapid-growth structures with multifold returns (and considerable risk) and passively bet.

I feel the current market situation is just the right phase to rediscover. Looking to connect with people who relate and are looking to explore such investments.
