How Rochit Singh Replaced Trading Screens With Patience - and Earned SEBI’s Nod
21-year-old Rochit Singh was glued to trading screens, chasing intraday profits, watching charts for hours, and hoping for quick gains. Today, he is one of the youngest individuals in India to hold the SEBI Registered Investment Advisor license (INH000023834). His transformation-from a stressed young trader to a disciplined long-term investor-offers a lesson that India’s new generation of investors is eagerly learning from.
Rochit’s journey into the stock market began on January 11, 2020. Like many beginners influenced by financial videos online, he entered the market with excitement, inspired particularly by a story on how Rakesh Jhunjhunwala multiplied his wealth through Titan. The idea of making money through the stock market fascinated him.
However, reality was far less glamorous. Intraday trading led to painful losses. Swing trading offered slightly more structure but required constant monitoring. Hours spent watching price movements drained his energy and left him mentally exhausted. The returns did not justify the effort, and the emotional rollercoaster felt never-ending.
The turning point came in 2022 during market consolidation. As the markets moved sideways, he reflected deeply on his strategy. It struck him that if he had simply invested long-term in solid businesses-or even the Nifty index-he would have earned better returns with far less stress. This realization reshaped his financial philosophy forever.
He quit trading. Completely.
No intraday.
No swing trades.
No short-term speculation.
Instead, he committed to long-term investing-specifically, multibagger investing. He began studying companies trading at low valuations but possessing strong long-term growth potential. His inspiration came from great Indian investors like Vijay Kedia and Radhakishan Damani, who built fortunes not through rapid trades but by holding a handful of high-quality stocks for years.
This shift from “screens to patience” changed everything. His stress dropped, his clarity improved, and his returns stabilized. More importantly, his story connected with millions of young investors who were tired of speculative trading culture.
But investing success wasn’t his first achievement. His entrepreneurial spirit had emerged years earlier, back in ninth grade during India’s digital revolution post-Jio. He experimented with multiple online ventures-domain selling, blogging, app development, gaming content, freelancing. Every project failed. Yet, these failures equipped him with skills that later powered his content creation journey.
His first breakthrough came with a modest educational video explaining solutions to S. Chand textbook questions. Initially ignored, the video hit 500 views after six months-a moment he calls one of the happiest of his life. Despite mockery from classmates and teachers, he continued creating content. By Class 11, his YouTube channel had grown to 5.5 lakh subscribers.
This digital journey, combined with his financial experiences, shaped him into a trusted voice for India’s youth. His transparent storytelling, real-life lessons, and clarity on long-term investing earned him a massive following-now totaling 2.2 million.
Wanting to solidify his credibility, he pursued SEBI’s Registered Investment Advisor license. Achieving it at 21 placed him among India’s youngest regulated advisors.
His philosophy today is clear: patience beats speed, conviction beats speculation, and long-term investing beats trading stress.
Rochit Singh’s story is not just about earning SEBI’s nod-it is about earning the trust of a generation that seeks financial clarity in an age of chaos. By stepping away from trading screens and embracing discipline, he has become a symbol of responsible, research-driven investing for millions.
