Savings and steady income alone cannot create wealth. You can build wealth and generate earnings by investing in stocks, bonds, and commodities. Above all, equity investing may help combat inflation, unlike most fixed income assets like bank CDs. There are opportunities to invest in India's financial markets. A company or government sells its securities on the primary market to new investors. Secondary markets are where previously issued financial products like bonds and shares are traded.

Investing in India’s financial market can be done through various channels depending on your goals and risk appetite. One of the most common ways is by purchasing stocks listed on Indian exchanges like NSE or BSE, either directly or through mutual funds. Foreign investors can use instruments such as Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI) schemes to participate. Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer diversified exposure without needing to pick individual stocks. Investors can also buy government securities, corporate bonds, or fixed deposits for safer returns. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InvITs) are other growing options. Many global brokers provide access to Indian markets, though regulations and KYC requirements must be followed for compliance.
