Past Life of India’s Warren Buffet – Mr. Radhakishan Damani

Initially, Mr. R.K. Damani was a ball bearings trader, without any intension to start stock trading. But his fate wanted something else from him. When his father passed away, he had to shut down his business and start stock broking with his brother. He was 32 years old then, without any previous experience or knowledge about it, and how market works. Shortly, he understood the fact that just watching market was not the option to grow capital. So, he started investing for long term, by taking inspiration from Mr. Chandrakant Sampat, a legendary investor.

His strategy was very simple. He played for long term, like for 5 to 10 years. He would find out if a product can go far into the future. His judgment started getting right. He was standing with the ranks of biggies within few years. He was very fast in booking and cutting losses unlike other players. He quickly built his fortune and bought stocks of MNCs during the 90s. After several victories to become the king of stock market, he left the trading and ventured into retail industry to establish D-Mart in 2001. He is truly a humble person who always remains as a source of inspiration for young entrepreneurs in India.
