The Secrets of Stocks By Dr. Jitendra Bahadur,A Wall Street veteran returns home to empower India’s retail investors
2025-08-12
Dr. Jitendra Bahadur was born into a modest middle-class family in India, where his father served as a schoolteacher and instilled in him the values of discipline, education, and service. From an early age, Jitendra was captivated by the world of finance—curious about markets, fascinated by numbers, and determined to understand how wealth was built and preserved.
After graduating from IIT Bombay, he pursued advanced studies at the Wharton School of Business, earning a PhD in Finance. His academic excellence led him to J.P. Morgan, where he worked as a stock trader and private fund manager, overseeing portfolios exceeding $6 billion. During this time, he achieved financial freedom and gained firsthand experience of the sophisticated—and often ruthless—mechanisms of global capital markets.
But despite his success abroad, Dr. Bahadur never forgot his roots.
Five years ago, he returned to India as a free investor and mentor, driven by a mission far greater than personal gain. In his interactions with thousands of retail investors, he saw a troubling pattern: over 90% were losing money in the stock market—not due to lack of effort, but due to lack of access to sound strategies and modern investment logic.
“These investors aren’t wrong,” he says. “They’re simply trying to use their hard-earned money to build a better life for their families. But the system is stacked against them.”
Moved by their struggles and inspired by his love for India, Dr. Bahadur decided to write a book that would bridge the gap between Wall Street wisdom and Indian realities.
The Secrets of Stocks is his answer.
This book is not just a guide—it’s a manifesto for retail empowerment. Drawing on his 30 years of global experience, Dr. Bahadur reveals:
How institutional investors manipulate markets
How to spot and avoid common traps set by market operators
How to build a disciplined, risk-controlled trading strategy
How Indian investors can reclaim control over their financial futures
“India gave me everything,” he says. “Now it’s my turn to give back.”
Dr. Bahadur’s vision is clear: To make The Secrets of Stocks the most trusted trading guide for Indian retail investors, and to help them transform their financial lives with knowledge, discipline, and confidence.
His story is one of return, responsibility, and redemption. His book is a gift to the people who raised him. And his mission is just beginning.
