During the show, Mr. Raamdeo spilled the beans on what makes his venture tick, his take on Trump’s tariff, investment lessons from Warren Buffett, and more. Here’s an excerpt from The Boardroom.
Mashable India: How do social media and influencers play a role in shaping investment decisions? Is that helping or hurting investors?
Raamdeo Agrawal: The investors themselves have to be very knowledgeable about whom they are following and how much they are trusting them. Because if the guys are not trustworthy, I think they will die out themselves. So all these influencers, they know they have to do honest stuff. Whatever their competencies are, whether corporate connect, or research, or understanding charts, or sentiment in the market, they have to stick to that. And the consumers will decide. They will come three times, four times, And all three times he loses money, he will say this is a useless fellow. In fact, he will go around town and say this guy is useless.
He adds,
I think influencers’ life is also very limited if they don’t do a good job.
