"Missed the stethoscope, but never missed a beat—turned ambition into action, and now I diagnose market trends as a stock market expert."
While growing up in a Marwari family, my path seemed clear—I was set on becoming an MBBS doctor. I gave the exam twice, but fate had other plans, and I ended up with a seat in BDS instead. And I was not interested in BDS. Reluctantly, I let go of my dream of becoming a doctor, but little did I know, my journey was just beginning.
At 23, my uncle suggested exploring a career in the stock market, which was booming in 2003. I moved to Mumbai to dive into this world. Like many, I initially saw the stock market as a form of gambling, but as I delved deeper, I realized it was far more complex—a strategic game that I was determined to master.
After returning to Patna, I started as a broker and ventured into trading and investing. The early days were tough, marked by significant losses and also introduced me to others who were struggling. These experiences fuelled my curiosity and drove me to understand the root causes of these losses. I immersed myself in learning the fundamental and technical aspects of the market, turning my setbacks into valuable lessons.
By 2007, I had gained enough knowledge and experience to start guiding others. I began teaching people not just how to trade, but why they should—helping them avoid the mistakes I once made. My journey from aspiring doctor to stock market trainer has been anything but conventional.
After gaining a deep understanding of the stock market, I founded AGRAWAL CORPORATE in 2009 with a mission to share my knowledge and help others navigate the complexities of trading. In the early days, I focused on one-to-one sessions, working closely with individuals to tailor my guidance to their needs. However, it wasn’t long before word spread, and the demand grew. To accommodate this, I began organizing city-wide seminars, allowing more people to join and benefit from the insights I had to offer.
The seminars quickly became a movement, with more and more people joining the karavan, eager to learn and improve their trading skills. It was during one of these sessions that a student approached me with an idea that would take my teachings to the next level—he suggested I start a YouTube channel. Embracing the idea, he even helped me set up the channel. As a devotee of Bholenath, I chose an auspicious day in 2017 to launch it, hoping to reach a broader audience and make stock market education accessible to all.
What started as a humble effort to teach a few individuals soon blossomed into a thriving community of learners, both online and offline. The journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to have played a part in helping so many people gain confidence in their trading decisions.
When I first launched my YouTube channel, it was a work of love. I poured my energy into researching and creating content that was both relevant and insightful, aiming to keep my audience up-to-date with the latest trends in the stock market. Initially, growth was slow and the numbers seemed stagnant, but I was determined. I kept pushing forward, delivering fresh, engaging videos on current market topics.
Gradually, my persistence paid off. As my content continued to resonate with viewers, my subscriber count began to rise, And the best thing is that on my birthday in 2022 I completed 1 million subscribers on YouTube. This marked the beginning of my journey as a YouTuber. With the growth of my channel came recognition: I received several awards and was honored to speak at TEDx events—first in Alopibagh in 2019 and later at IIM Sambalpur in 2022.
The lockdown days were a challenging time for everyone. While many struggled, the stock market became a crucial source of income for those who understood it. For many others, it was a period of hardship due to a lack of stock market knowledge. Witnessing this disparity, I realized how crucial it was to spread financial education far and wide. This revelation sparked a new mission: to make stock market knowledge accessible to every person in my country, ensuring that no one would have to face such difficulties without understanding the opportunities that the stock market offers.
Fuelled by the desire to share stock market knowledge with a wider audience, I conceived the idea of Finowings in 2022. With a small but dedicated team, we embarked on a mission to deliver comprehensive lessons covering various aspects of the stock market and its evolving trends. Our goal was clear: to empower as many people as possible with the tools they needed to succeed in trading.
In 2022, I noticed a surge in traffic to our blogs, a sign that our content was hitting the mark. This prompted a shift in focus towards enhancing our website to better serve our growing audience. Building on this momentum, I set my sights on an ambitious goal: organizing the largest financial investment lesson ever held in Lucknow. The event, known as the Financial Freedom Conclave, garnered recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records —a testament to the impact and reach of our efforts.
In addition to our events, I authored books on “Simplest Book of Technical Analysis” and "Money & You," contributing to the educational resources available to traders. Today, my team and I continue to work passionately to educate people about the stock market. Through social media and our website, we strive to keep our audience informed and inspired, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to navigate the dynamic world of finance.
