After Visiting An Astrologer, A Nagpur Engineering Dropout Became A Crorepati Dealer

When the middle-class Gujarati family in Nagpur learned that their young son Harshubh Shah had failed the mechanical engineering first-year exam, all hell broke loose. The family had to repay a student loan in addition to not having any money to invest in a business. A decent job was tough to obtain. One day in 2007, Shah’s father took him to an astrologer for guidance out of pure desperation.

The only option available to the devout family was to heed the astrologer’s recommendation to try their luck on the stock market.

Although he began his career working for a broker as a technical analyst, he no longer consults the charts when deciding whether to buy or sell. He analyses the motion of many planets, moons, and stars to determine the trajectory of stock values since he is a staunch believer in the effectiveness of financial astrology.

Currently, the Sebi-registered research analyst has about 4,000 clients who adhere to his tenet of selecting stocks based on astrological principles. He twice declared bankruptcy, so the path to wealth has not been easy. His other loves, besides markets, are spirituality and music. Along with his wife, parents, and 3-year-old son, he resides in Nagpur.
