Raamdeo Agrawal

Raamdeo Agrawal is one of India’s most respected stock market investors and the co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services. He is well known for his disciplined value investing style, inspired by Warren Buffett. Raamdeo believes that long-term wealth is created by investing in high-quality businesses with strong earnings growth, capable management, and a durable competitive advantage. He often says, “Buy right, sit tight,” which means if you buy a fundamentally strong company at a reasonable price, the real wealth will come by holding it patiently over the long term. He strongly promotes research-based investing and has written several annual wealth creation studies that analyze how companies grow wealth over decades. According to him, understanding the business model, management quality, and valuation are the key pillars to successful stock market investing. He also believes that emotions like greed and fear should be controlled and that the best investors are the most disciplined and patient ones.

“Focus on business, not price. Profit comes automatically.”
