Veteran investor Vijay Kedia cautioned retail investors against buying stocks where he mops up shares via large trades.
"I am not a broker or a fund manager, and I don't recommend any stock," Kedia said at the NDTV Profit Ignite Conclave. His stock picks, which often make news and create market interest in the particular company, are made through his own investment vehicle, Kedia Securities.
Nilesh Shah said that silver is "the poor man's gold" while gold prices were becoming stretched, driven in part by industrial demand for solar energy.
On art, Shah suggested it could emerge as a hard asset and potentially become the next investment boom.
Nilesh Shah said that rebuilding companies like NVIDIA in India is achievable, but the key challenge lies in creating an ecosystem that nurtures AI talent.

"It's not always about what the mutual fund industry needs, it's also about what the investor wants," says Nippon Life's Sundeep Sikka on SIFs.
Nimesh Shah said most of their investors have seen good returns from mutual fund investments, with large distributors primarily focusing on gold-based SIPs.
"Mutual fund industry is an infinite market, and the full credit goes to regulator," says ICICI Prudential AMC's Nimesh Shah.

Dive deeper into the conversation on insurance and financial security in NDTV Profit IGNITE here.
Axis Max Life said discussions around insurance often miss a key point — its resilience. The company emphasised that insurance continues to be a push-based product, but as awareness grows and digital tools simplify access, the industry could see a shift from persuasion to proactive protection.
Roongta Securities highlighted that building an insurance portfolio is more complex than creating an investment portfolio, as it involves assessing multiple risks and family needs. They noted that a comprehensive protection plan for a family can be designed at around Rs 5,000–Rs 6,000 per month, urging people not to equate insurance benefits directly to the cost incurred.

Jarvis Invest’s Sumit Chanda said media houses need to adopt AI faster than their audiences, as media plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between humans and artificial intelligence.
The founders of Screener AI said artificial intelligence should be used as a research tool in investing rather than for making direct stock picks. They added that it continually evaluates the latest AI models to enhance its capabilities and ensure more informed analysis.

Sumit Chanda of Jarvis Invest says relying on a single AI model can lead to replication of human patterns. Unlike traditional platforms, Jarvis Invest said it doesn't provide users with research but delivers the final investment outcome directly.
The founders of Screener AI said it has witnessed how information and data have evolved over time, adding that the vast amount of data available today highlighted the immense potential of artificial intelligence.
The company emphasised the importance of optimising data to deliver a seamless user experience.

NSE MD & CEO Chauhan said the number of people trading in derivatives has declined following the new regulations, which the exchange had earlier warned could impact revenues. He cautioned investors, saying, "Don't enter the derivatives market if you don’t understand it."
"In a socialist country, stock markets are seen as a nuisance. Thankfully, they didn’t close the market down at independence," said NSE CEO Chauhan at the event.
