Introduction-Who is Vikas Kedia?

Vikas Kedia is an Indian investor born in Kolkata. He started trading in the stock market when he was only 14 years old. Kedia has made a big name for himself in the cutthroat world of the stock market. Later, Kedia started his own securities company, Kedia Securities Pvt. Ltd., which is one of the biggest shareholders of many listed companies in the Indian stock market. The Economic Times also refers to him as a “market master.”

Early Life and Background of Vikas Kedia

Vikas Kishanlal Kedia was born in Kolkata into a Marwari family. He started trading with his grandfather when he was only 14 years old. Later, at the age of 19, his father passed away, and he joined the family business of stockbroking. Vijay Kedia started working as a stockbroker in his family business. Very soon, he became less interested in the stockbroking business and left the business to start his career as a trader.
Vijay Kedia was successful initially in his early trading days. But he very soon realized that even with regular profits, a few large losses easily wiped out all of his previous gains. He was not making much money from trading overall. One time he lost around 70,000 INR in just a few days. His mother helped him recover his losses by selling his jewellry. This incident had a deep impact on his life, and he decided to quit trading. After a few years, he started to get more interested in investing and started to learn the fundamentals of investing. He also relocated from his hometown of Kolkata to Mumbai to start his investing journey.

Investing Career-How did Vikas kedia make money in stock Market?

Back in the 1990s, there were not many sources to learn about investing; he learned it through Trail & Error and observing other investors. He bought his first stock Punjab Tractor for investing with a capital of Rs 35,000 and made 5x his returns in almost 3 years. His first breakthrough came in 1993 due to the Harshad Mehta bull run, when he bought stock of ACC at Rs 300 and sold after a year at Rs 3000. He used most of his profit money to buy an apartment in Mumbai, and the rest he used to buy some stocks.

In 2004–2005, he analyzed and bought stocks such as Atul Auto, Aegis Logistics, and Cera Sanitary Ware, which he made 100 times in 10–12 years. He also specifically predicted the structural bull run of India in 2012, when everybody was negative about the market.

As of now, Vijay Kedia holds 15 publicly listed companies and is among the largest shareholders, with his holding net worth being Rs 1414 crore.

Investment Philosophy of Vijay Kedia | SMILE

Vijay Kedia uses his SMILE approach strategy for his investment, which means small in size, medium in experience, large in aspiration, and extra-large in market potential. Kedia also says, “One should scout for companies that have good management. Find very good, very honest management, and see the product in which the management is going to outperform its peers and the economy. Invest in those companies for the next 10–15 years, and you cannot go wrong.”

He also explains why management in a company is so important by using a simple example: Highway means company growth; car means company; passengers means shareholders; and the driver of the car means the management of the company. Even if the car is small and the driver is good at driving, you will be safe and reach your destination. But if the driver of the car is not good, no matter if you drive a BMW car on a good highway, you will crash and never reach your destination.

Kedia also advocates for every investor having these three qualities: first, knowledge: to find good stocks; second, courage: to buy in sufficient quantities; and third, patience: to hold that stock.
