Most individuals generally anticipate that stock market investments are exceedingly hazardous and likely to result in a loss. Based on this, fewer than 10% of Indian households invest in alternative assets, such as stocks or mutual funds. Instead, they stick to saving in banks and post offices or investing in gold and real estate. This has been the primary reason for millennials' lack of interest and familiarity with diverse financial and investing alternatives. Presently a large bracket of investors has very little knowledge regarding the handling of personal finances or estimating cash investment to obtain financial independence.

However, the pandemic period saw a rise in stock market investments by the young investors of India, suggesting a significant chance of bettering interest in conventional investing options. The Demat accounts for NSDL increased by 32.43% between 2017 to 2020. Whereas for CDSL, they increased by 72.3577% between 2017 to 2020. Mainly millennials between the age of 24 to 39 opened these accounts. A report from Internshala indicated that enrolment in trading and investing courses also rose by 60% between 2016 to 2020.
