In this episode, I sit down with seasoned investor and ex-consultant Akshat Shrivastava, who breaks down how he manages a $1 million public portfolio with impressive returns. Akshat challenges the conventional wisdom of sticking solely to Indian mutual funds, explaining why he prioritizes US Tech stocks (NASDAQ) and companies with strong "research moats" like Meta and Nvidia over overvalued Indian small-caps. He provides a detailed framework on valuation, comparing the P/E ratios of Indian startups to global giants, and explains why hedging is crucial for portfolio protection.

Beyond equities, the conversation dives deep into asset allocation strategies for 2026, including his bullish thesis on Bitcoin as a mathematical hedge and his real estate investments in Dubai and Goa. Akshat opens up about the reality of leaving a corporate job, the cost of living in the UAE compared to India, and why true financial freedom is about having control over your time. Watch this to understand how to restructure your portfolio and avoid the financial traps that keep the majority from building wealth.
