StockGro and Stoxo Enhance Market Literacy
Ajay Lakhotia lost a lot of money in the 2008 market crash because he didn't understand the market well.
He decided to learn more and started a program to help others avoid the same mistakes.
He created StockGro, a platform where people can learn about investing without risking real money.
It has helped many students and has experts to guide them.
Later, he noticed that people needed a reliable place to get answers about the market.
So, he created Stoxo, an AI-powered tool that gives verified information about stocks and the market.
Both StockGro and Stoxo aim to make investing easier and more understandable for everyone.
Ajay Lakhotia lost ₹80 lakh in the 2008 market crash, prompting him to learn more about investing.
