  • Mohnish gives some of the best and most entertaining advice about investing!

    Mohnish consistently gives some of the best and most entertaining advice about investing! For me, he is easily the best story-teller of all investors. These stories really illuminate the points that he makes about the philosophy behind his investments. Not only will you learn some good ideas about what to do with your money, but you can pick up effective mental models for how to live your life in general!

  • Mashallah

    Mohnish is like a rich Grandpa, dispelling nuggets of wisdom here and there. The best things in the podcast have nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how to structure your life outside the balance sheet. He does say some contradicting stuff, but rudimentary logic will help you cut through that. He changed the trajectory of my life, I like to joke he pulled me out of sub 200 level consciousness (iykyk). More Power to you!

  • Best Investing podcast

    Have been following Mohnish when I came across his name reading Guy Spiers book “The Education of Value Investor”, his knowledge and fundamentals in investing are too deep.

    Bought his book “The Dhando Investor”, loving evey page of it.

    Keep up the good work Mohnish!

Q&A session with Dakshana scholars at JNV Bangalore Urban on December 25, 2025
Q: How should students improve communication and leadership skills?
Engage with public speaking communities like Toastmasters, join theater or debating groups, seek diverse peers who communicate well, and push through discomfort to grow.
Q&A session with Dakshana scholars at JNV Bangalore Urban on December 25, 2025
Q: What qualities differentiate breakout students from average ones?
Hard work is overrated; mental models and the disciplined application of multiple models together create outsized results.
Q&A session with Dakshana scholars at JNV Bangalore Urban on December 25, 2025
Q: How did you build a core team to start Dakshina?
Starting from almost zero, you leverage belief before capability, copy models, and recruit opportunistically—first a strong 65-year-old IIT Madras alum, then a broader team as data comes in.
Q&A session with Dakshana scholars at JNV Bangalore Urban on December 25, 2025
Q: If everyone copied your investing strategy perfectly, would you still make money?
Even with cloning, most people lack the full set of mental models; execution with multiple models creates an edge that replication alone cannot achieve.
Q&A session with Dakshana scholars at JNV Bangalore Urban on December 25, 2025
Q: What are your expectations from every Dakshina student? Why free education?
There are no expectations from the students; the program is a one-way transfer designed to be selfless, with the aim of leaving the planet in a better shape and helping others be more productive.
