Rakesh Jhunjhunwala
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala was born in the Marwari family of Mumbai in 1960, his father was an income tax officer. There was a lot of interest in the stock market, and used to talk about the stock with his friends. At the age of 14, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala asked his father, what is stock market? He said understanding the stock market is not so easy. Read the newspaper, in which information is given about new companies every day. Before investing money in the stock market, we should know about the fluctuations of the company’s stock. This was Rakesh’s first lesson on the stock market. With the gradual aging, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s interest also started increasing in the stock market.
According to his father, Rakesh kept getting updated from different companies news and when he got good knowledge, he expressed his desire to enter the stock market, but his father immediately refused Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, he said, first complete your professional studies, then do the same as you would like.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala told his father that if he wants to make a career in the stock market, then his father told him some three to four things which he got very useful for him. Rakesh’s father told him to do what is fun. And do not come to me or my friends asking for money. He later completed his graduation in Economics and then in 1985 he became a Chartered Accountant.
The King of Stock Market travels from Rs 5000 to 16000 Crores
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala had completed his graduation, now it was time to enter the stock market, but that time he did not have enough money to invest. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala made his first investment with Rs 5000. The BSE Sensex was at 150 points.
Rakesh’s brother was practicing CA. And he had a client, he had a lot of capital and wanted good returns.
In those days, there were 10% returns on bank deposits. So Rakesh said to that lady, I will give you a return of 18% per annum, thus Rakesh got 2.5 lakh rupees from that lady. Apart from that lady, Rakesh took Rs 5 lakh from another person. By doing this, he raised his initial capital.
But he made his first major profit in 1986, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bought 5000 shares of Tata D Company for Rs 43. And sold it after 3 months at a rate of Rs 143. Due to which he earned a profit of Rs 51000.
He earned 25 lakhs from 1986-1989 even while doing so further. And the next few years later, his assets turned into crores, the biggest turning point of his career came from 2002 to 2003 when he bought 6 million shares of Titan Company for Rs 3 per share, later the value of that company’s share was Rs 390 per share. When the shares were done, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala made a profit of Rs 2100 crores.
In the early days of his career, he had raised Rs 8,00,000 to Rs 10,00,000 by trading, after which the next two-three years proved to be very difficult. Then in 1988 he bought 2,50,000 shares of Sesa goa company at Rs 28 price and 2,50,000 shares were bought at Rs 35 price. Within 6 months after that, Sesa Goa’s share price had gone to Rs 65.
Turning point of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s life
In 1989, he was Mr texture Finance Minister in VP Singh’s government. And Mr. Madhu Dandavate’s budget became the turning point of Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s life. Everyone, from the common investor to the big market players, everyone felt that Mr. Madhu Dandavate’s budget would be based not on business but on social things. So there was a fear in the market.
And then on the budget day, exactly what Rakesh thought. Mr. Madhu Dandavate presented a very good budget. Which was very supportive of the business. Before the budget of Mr. Madhu Dandavate, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s net worth was 2 crores Rupees and after the budget he went from 40 to 50 crores Rupees.
