AIIMS, StockGro to educate young medicos about trading and investment

AIIMS and StockGro have joined forces to train young doctors in trading and investment and the partnership resulted in StockGro's FinSight - a virtual stock trading competition.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and StockGro, India’s first social investment platform, have partnered and organised FinSight, a virtual stock trading competition. This alliance between AIIMS and StockGro has provided a platform for budding doctors and future investors to get hands-on and real-time experience with the stock market and investing. 

The event empowered over 1,000 participating medicos with financial knowledge and winners walked home with cash prizes worth INR 10,000, as reported by India Education Diary.

Chetanya Mittal, Secretary eDC- AIIMS said, “Financial well-being, understanding investment and having a pulse over the stock market is no more a ‘nice to have’ element but important in these fluctuating times. FinSight was an attempt to encourage the medical community to be more financially aware. Via this collaboration, we wanted to eradicate the overwhelming notion that the stock market has and make it more approachable for our students. Clearly, they learned something new and we are sure that they had fun doing it as well!”

Ajay Lakhotia, Founder, StockGro said, “Wealth-management skills and financial literacy are non-negotiable. Finsight exposed all the budding doctors to the dynamism of the stock market trading and investing. Via such initiatives, our aim, alongside AIIMS, is to hone future doctors to become knowledgeable and skilled investors”.

StockGro has collaborated with 500+ engineering and management institutions like IIMs and IITs and other esteemed educational establishments and has successfully streamlined stock market trading and investment for students and even professors.
