I am writing after 4 yrs, second wave of covid.
In 2021, I was working alone, today we are team of 11 at Batra Hedge.
We have four specially abled traders namely, Dhruv, Nikunj, Pinank and Ravi.
Rohit Tiwari, an IIT Dhanbad graduate, is leading the team with 4yrs+ experience.
Dhiraj is the technical chart expert and Rahul specialises in options.
Aaditya is working on quantitive models on momentum factor.
Jinesh is helping us in management of the office.
This financial year 2024-25, the cumulative mistakes by the team has surpassed the cumulative mistakes I have made over the period of last 9 years in markets. Every mistake was a bet, a decision on uncertain future, which in turn gave us feedback to improve our decision making loops.
This feedback has helped us build scalable robust trading and investment systems.
In 2016, I started Batra Hedge in Nirma University library. I read a lot about famous investment personalities like Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, George Soros, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Ramesh Damani, Rajeev Thakkar and Stanley Drunkenmiller. I am grateful and fortunate to have interned under Rajeev Thakkar of PPFAS MF. However, I was fascinated by the track record of Stanley Drunkenmiller with 30% Cagr for 30 yrs without a single year in red. That track record has remained my personal benchmark and I am confident that the systems the team has built would help us beat my personal benchmark over the next few decades.
Trust me, it’s still day one; a lot more to come!
Cheers,
Bhuvan P Batra
