Meet Prashant Gopalia, a busy HR professional leader at WeWork, who wanted to explore direct stock investing but found it hard to track and make decisions amidst a hectic schedule. Despite some past experience with mutual funds, picking the right stocks felt overwhelming. That changed when he discovered SIHO’s Investividhi, a research-backed advisory service built for people like him.
In this candid conversation, Prashant shares how Investividhi helped him shift from mutual funds to confident stock investing without disrupting his daily life.
Q: What were your biggest investing challenges before joining SIHO?
Prashant: I had been investing mainly in mutual funds. Direct stock investing was tough because it takes time to track, and as a working professional, I couldn’t manage that. I had tried earlier, but couldn’t pick the right stocks. The biggest challenge was I didn’t know which stocks to pick. That’s where my conversations with Nitin (from SIHO) helped me realize that this problem could be solved.
Q: What made you finally join Investividhi?
Prashant: Honestly, it was because of Nitin. We’ve been talking for a long time, and seeing his investment journey gave me the confidence. What I liked most was that even though it’s an advisory service, the control stays with me. I take the advice but invest on my own platform. That sense of control was important to me.
Q: Does it really take only 10 minutes a week?
Prashant: Absolutely. My routine is very fixed. When I get a notification, I log in, check the recommendation, take action, and log out. It’s as easy as doing an SIP. I don’t need to do research or analysis myself—it saves a lot of time and mental load.
Q: Were there any wow moments after joining?
Prashant: Yes, I found the dual recommendation system (monthly and lump sum) very useful. Also, seeing my full financial picture in one place—assets, liabilities, goals—helped me understand where I stand.
Q: How has your investing mindset changed?
Prashant: Two things: trust and convenience. I trust the recommendations, and the system saves me a ton of time. I’m not following random stock tips—there’s a long-term approach here. And I know my money is in my control while I follow the advisory.
Q: Have you seen any results—financially or mentally?
Prashant: Mentally, yes. I have peace of mind. I invest and forget, unless I get a sell notification—which hasn’t happened yet. I don’t track returns every day. My view is long-term: 10 to 15 years. I know what I’m doing and why.
Q: Would you recommend SIHO to others?
Prashant: I already have. I’ve referred 2-3 people. For working professionals like us, tracking stocks is hard. Investividhi solves that. It gives you solid advice, but you keep the control. It’s convenient and trustworthy.
