Megh Manseta - Indian Investor - Inspirational

[rmani84]

I read an article on Megh Manseta on Business Outlook and i immediately looked around for information regarding him. It is really such a pleasure to read about a Successful Investor in India.

And for a long term investor like me, he definitely is an inspiration. Below are some of the most inspiring things to read about him.

Megh Manseta started with a capital of 9 Lakhs in 1991 and has achieved compounded returns of 25% to 30% annually according to Outlook, which puts his current portfolio at around 38 Crores


Invested in Infosys in 1995 and Still Holds
This is not an easy achievement by any means. A lot of people would have invested in Infosys and exited in panic in the last 20 years. And trust me, the stock market will give infinite reasons for an investor to panic and exit. The ability to think straight, make the right picks and not be afraid of the market fears is where true success lies for an Investor.

Investing in Infosys 19 years back and holding till date shows the true capability of Megh Manseta as an Investor.

His Investment Approach - Inspired by Warren Buffet
It is not surprising that his Investment approach is much inspired from Warren Buffet. Megh Manseta goes to Berkshire’s annual meeting regularly and might be the Only Indian Investor to receive a letter from Warren Buffet as pointed out by Business Outlook.



Much of Megh Manseta's investing approach revolves around finding Businesses / Companies which have strong competitive edge and fundamentally good numbers.

Hi Mani,

small doubt, If 9 lacs investment in 1991 turns out into 38 crores today, then it is not a good investment, i am not properly understood, because even a piece of land bought at that time would have earned much more in south indian region where rates a little cheaper, 20 years is very long time to achieve that target if you agree or not ?

Well, that's not exactly true ... My dad bought close to 3 grounds of land in the city in 1984 for close to a lakh ... Today, though market rates are claimed close to 3 Crores for it, we may not be able to find a buyer who can pay 3 Crores in reality ... We may be able to find a buyer only at very much lesser rates ...

My dad sold off some land in 2009 and he could only sell off for half the price, due to lack of buyers ...

9 lakhs to 38 Crores in 20 years is a big deal of achievement and not something that everyone can do ...
