We are in the 21st century, technology and the human race have reached a very advanced stage. With the digital boom, the world is at your fingertip. Be it any product or service everything is just a click away. But the picture is not as bright as it seems to be. In the era which is called modern, a large percentage of women are still financially dependent and lack the knowledge of what’s and how’s of right investment to a large extent. We find a very minuscule percentage of informed women who talk about the share market or investment. Nagalaxmi Bhat ,a software programmer turned stock market expert is a lady who endorses the importance of financial literacy among women. She is completing an advanced course in the stock market trading and investment from Incomet, a leading firm providing courses and assistance in making a career in this field. We asked her about her journey and experiences so far after having shifted her career from programming to the stock market. Excerpts from her interview :
1. Naglaxmi, tell us about your background and how was your experience?
The beginning of my professional journey had nothing to do anything with the stock market. I started as a Software Programmer but soon realized that I was not interested in that kind of profession. Flexibility in being able to decide where when and how to work is something I wanted, and I realized the stock market offers the kind of opportunity I was looking for, whereby giving few hours a day you can earn money. Here my earning was not connected with the number of hours I am putting in.
2.Why did you join Incomet and how was your experience?
The stock market sounds exciting but there is always a risk attached to it. I didn’t want to start unprepared so scrolled videos on the internet which were mostly half-baked and misguiding. Then I came across an advertisement for Incomet on Instagram. I thought to give it a try. It proved to be a judicious decision. I must say their modules were very efficient in training a novice like me with no background in finance.
3.Did Incomet and the stock market bring any changes in your life?
I can say choosing Incomet as my mentor to understand Stock Market and its functioning is the best decision I have ever made. I am more confident and independent now.
4.Tell us something about your learning and achievements through this program.
Before joining the course, we have the perception that there is some definite technique or formula for success in the stock market, that is what we expect to learn. The truth is it doesn’t work that way. It is a matter of finding the right method. You have to have a good amount of risk-taking ability without being an egoistic investor. Psychological balance is a must if you are opting for this career. Incomet helps in doing that. It has prepared me for both Bear and the Bull Market.
5.What do financial literacy and success mean to you?
For me or for any woman being financially independent and literate is very important. We must be able to understand and take an investment-related decision. The stock market is full of opportunities for everyone. Women are more in need of a flexible profession for all practical reasons. Liberty is found when you can take financial decisions for yourself.
6.Any message you would like to give to the aspirant who wants to choose Incomet as their mentor?
The Stock Market is a good place to earn but one needs the knowledge and the right skills and guidance in this field. Incomet is the right platform for such aspirants. Their program quality is the best. It suits people from beginner to advanced level of knowledge. Their team is very professional and efficient. They put their heart and soul into teaching the most dynamic modules and strategies.
