Dalal Street's Gold Rush: Picks and Shovels Profit

A long time ago, a man named Samuel Brannan made a lot of money by selling tools to people who were searching for gold.

Today, something similar is happening in India's stock market.

The companies that help people invest, like stock exchanges and brokers, are making a lot of money because more and more people are putting their money into the stock market.

The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has grown very fast, and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is getting ready to go public.

These companies are like the shovel sellers in the gold rush, making money by helping others chase their fortunes.
