15-year-old Bengaluru student manages ₹13.9 lakh portfolio: How she started investing, earned NISM certifications and turned a Pokémon card game idea into a history learning game

What can you expect from a 15 year old to be in their schools, studying and giving examinations. But this is not the case with a Bengaluru student Sinchana who also manages an investment portfolio worth ₹13.9 lakh. The student, who studies at Swagani School in Bengaluru, says she began investing in April after her parents withdrew money from insurance policies that they felt were not generating satisfactory returns.
