India's Equity Boom Drivers

- This influx includes a broad demographic, with sustained growth in wealth per investor expected at 20-30% annually.
Derivatives Market Challenges
- The derivatives market's rapid growth has dominated Indian retail trading since 2017 but poses risks due to opaque structures.
- SEBI's regulatory measures aim to control this, possibly linking derivatives trading to PAN or income tax returns to moderate excesses.
