India's Stock Market: Retail Investor Decline & Efficiency

In India, fewer people are directly buying and selling stocks, with more people investing through mutual funds.

This is because the market has been unstable, pushing people towards safer investments managed by experts.

While this might seem good, a smaller number of individual investors could make the market less efficient because of a lack of diverse views.

Experts argue that a variety of perspectives is key for markets to determine prices accurately.

They also believe for the market to improve, more individuals should go back to studying companies, purchasing stocks, and following their performances.
