Capital Markets Year Book - 2024!

We interrupt the regular flow of weekly data posts on this blog for a piece of breaking news. We have collaborated with Zerodha and the good folks at Wyzr to publish the first edition of the annual Capital Markets Yearbook.

To quote Nithin Kamath

“The Indian markets have grown more the last five brief years than in the preceding decade and a half. Before 2020 it roughly took a decade for the unique investor count to double from 1.5 crores to 3 crores. After the pandemic, it only took a couple of years for the investor count to keep doubling. No matter what metric you look at from total turnover, investor growth, SIPs, IPOs, to liquidity, there’s been phenomenal growth.

For the first time in a long time, the Indian markets became part of the mainstream conversations both online and offline. Thought it feels odd to be writing this when the Indian markets seem to be flirting with a bear market, it’s still a good time to look back.

Given the monumental changes in the markets, there had been no publication that documented the profound transformation of our capital markets. Sure there have been blogs and videos that have covered the growth of the Indian markets in bits and pieces but nothing comprehensive. “

So, our objective with this book is to make it the most comprehensive guide to understanding the key trends shaping India’s capital markets - equities, fixed income, currency markets, commodity markets, mutual funds etc.

Spanning 125 pages and over 100 charts and tables, this publication is your go-to source for understanding the growth of various aspects of our markets. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The digital copy of the book is free to download. You can download it from Wyzr’s (the book publisher) website or Zerodha. We are also doing a small print run for those who like the smell of a freshly minted book (I am one of them!). You can order the paperback from here: https://shop.wyzr.in/products/2024-capital-markets-yearbook-a-prelude-to-a-new-era

And since this is just the first edition, there’s a lot more we can do in the second. If you have any thoughts - perhaps we missed some segment of the market, perhaps we could have delved deeper into some aspects, perhaps there is a typo (damn it), perhaps we should add more context to the charts or anything else - do let us know.

Thank you. Your regular weekly dose of data updates will resume tomorrow. 😊
