GURUDATTA
Training Institute
Today, there is an extraordinary
amount of up-to-date and
relevant information on any
topic available, the access to it is
getting easier with each passing
moment. Thus, we can say that having
knowledge is not a problem, however,
what one decides to do with it is a
matter of question. Any amount of
knowledge is a waste if it is not put in
use.
To understand this, everyone must
know the value of knowledge they
possess. “Scientia potentia est,”or,
“knowledge is power” is a Latin
aphorism mostly attributed to
philosopher, Francis Bacon. One of the
reasons why having knowledge is
powerful is because, it is renewable
and it can be used to bring change or
empower others. In the book, Sapiens,
Yuval Noah Harari writes, “the best
test of knowledge is not whether
something is true but whether it
empowers people.”
Gurudatta Training Institute
understands this and endorses the value
of being knowledgeable and using that
knowledge to empower others. The
belief, ‘Outperform with knowledge’ is
central to this institute. It is one among
the best institutes that delivers
10 | November 2021 | www.theknowledgereview.com
knowledge required to make money in
all asset classes like; equity, currency,
commodity.
Tailoring a Unique Educational
Journey
Gurudatta Training Institute was
established in July 2019. It has a
comprehensive lesson strategy that
allows all its students to have an
inclusive knowledge about finance
management and stock market training.
Expert faculties, alumni, and students
of this institute form a community and
together cultivate a culture that
empowers and promotes learning. Let
us see in detail how the institute and its
community ensure that all its students
are well-educated and knowledgeable.
The institute conducts its lessons and
plans its lesson strategies using real
time data while all its training material
is always updated in real time. Backed
by industry expert faculties, the
institute aligns both theoretical and
practical approach to make learning
fun.
Furthermore, the institute also has a
close connection with its large alumni
11 | November 2021 | www.theknowledgereview.com
network, wherein the present students
are allowed to interact with them and
learn more about the industry.
Furthermore, upon graduating from
Gurudatta Institute, students are still
permitted to use the data, knowledge
and records, or any data that the
institute possesses.
Completing this student-centric
community of Gurudatta Training
Institute are its avant garde facilities.
The institute’s infrastructure is among
the best as it has high quality desk-tops
for using paid software and free
software, classrooms with central air
conditioning. The institute’s faulty has
15 years of teaching experience and
has trained more than 15000 students
till date.

Along with these, the institute also
provides one year free mentorship
program. Very shortly, it is also
planning to start a new course – Trade
with GURU.
Holding the Torch of Knowledge
Having discussed about the
peculiarities of Gurudatta Training
Institute, it is important that we discuss
about the enabler behind this
comprehensive learning platform. The
driving force behind the institute’s
continued growth is Gurudatta G.
Dhanokar. He is an empanelled trainer
for NISM, a visiting faculty at BSE,
NSE and many other reputed MBA
Colleges. His 16 years of teaching
experience and 20 years of industry
experience has helped him acquire
profound knowledge about the subject
matter.
The Pandemic Dynamic
The global pandemic, coronavirus, has
not only threatened lives, but has
brought a massive standstill to
businesses, educational activities,
transportation, and so on. Keeping the
current situation in perspective,
Gurudatta Training Institute is
presently conducting weekend online
batches on a temporary basis.
The institute is offering various
benefits to the students. It is allowing
students to attend repeat classes for
revision. Gurudatta is supporting the
students on a daily basis for intraday to
short term, to weekly basis. It is also
offering support for medium term to
long term basis. The institute also
offers benefits to global students
hailing from different countries such as
Australia, Dubai, London, and USA.
Gurudatta is also extending sessions on
technical analysis and derivative to use
it for equity in the Indian and US
markets, major global markets, all
major currency pairs, commodity
market, and cryptocurrency.
A Focus on Skill Enhancement
Gurudatta Training Institute focuses
more on offering short term courses
and is designed to enhance skills of
working professionals and young
students who wish to enter into the
industry. The institute’s prime goal
behind this is to develop a very strong
skillset in students that will allow them
to have a competitive benefit or stay at
par with working professionals.
That is one set of the students the
institute caters to. However, it also
educates students who want to work in
the financial sector. “Some student
comes with a plan to get job with skills
acquired and other comes with a plan
they should not need a job after they
acquire knowledge from us. We support
both types of students,” comments Mr.
Dhanokar.
We can safely say that with the world
constantly evolving, Gurudatta
Training Institute will continue its
foray by offering new and advanced
courses and will always be parallel
with industry trends.
The institute is connected with its
students and other prospects, and also
provide daily updates regarding the
market outlook through its Facebook
Page, Telegram Channel, blog, and
Twitter.

Importance of
Stock Market
Education
in
Today’s
Economic
Scenario
14 | November 2021 | www.theknowledgereview.com
Stock Talk
stock market is a place where the trading of
Aassets is conducted between buyers and sellers.
In the stock market, these assets are usually
shares of the companies, commodities, and currencies. In
today’s world, stock market is becoming an innovative
approach to investing in good companies and people are
looking at this market for transactions related to value
investment. This market has rewarded people with huge
returns, especially to those who have approached it with
patience and made the investments looking into the
fundamentals and focused on core points that are
necessary for value investment.
The stock market is open to everyone - from people
wearing suits to the young generation, creating a new
vision of the economy of our country as people are
learning how to invest and manage their money in the
early stage of their lives.
With the shares trading on different prices and when it
comes to the highlights of performance about any
specific company, people invest their money and can buy
shares of the specific company. This is the first and most
important aspect when it comes to the stock market
where people try to reach out few websites which display
genuine information that helps to study the fundamentals
of any company.
The role of the stock market is crucial, looking at the
factors of investment as there is no assured deal that the
traders will always be profitable. People have suffered
huge losses at times, when the markets crashed or if the
company misses out the resources and under-performs in
the financial year.
Even if there is any negative news about any specific
company, the shares price will eventually go down as the
people will start to sell off their holdings, generating a
15 | November 2021 | www.theknowledgereview.com
sell and creating a drop in the share price. If there is
economic development happening and there is a piece of
positive news about any company, it is the other way
around.
The link between stock market development and
economic activity has always been the subject of
considerable analysis in the field of economics and it
raises the practical question of whether stock market
development influences economic activity.
One of the biggest advantages of the stock market is that
it can be a source of business investment, e.g., firms
offering new shares to finance investment. This could
lead to more jobs and growth and sometimes a rising
stock market may indicate favourable economic
conditions for firms, resulting in higher profitability
which eventually displays financial stability.
When stock prices are touching the skies, many
businesses put in efforts to raise more capital
investments due to high market values. Many companies
are likely to issue an IPO during this time as market
optimism is high and it is a suitable time to raise capital
through the sale of shares. There are also more mergers
and acquisitions during a rise in the market and firms can
use the value of their stock to buy out other companies,
resulting in increasing the investments and feeding
greater economic growth. 2020 was an exceptionally
remarkable year for the extremes of the stock market and
economy.
The relationship between the stock market and our
economy might seem connected as our economy is
improving while the stock market remains strong and
stock exchanges are playing a crucial role in boosting the
economy.
This is an overview of how stock exchanges can and are
contributing to economic growth and sustainable
development. The key role of exchanges is to mobilise
resources to facilitate sustainable economic growth and
development. The mobilisation of finance is what
exchanges do and the existence of well-functioning
exchanges can therefore contribute to economic growth
and development.
The ability of exchanges to perform these roles is
dependent on the existence of a combination of relevant
policies, processes, and institutional structures. The exact
nature of these would vary across jurisdictions and build
on the identified roles. The suggested policy objectives
respectively are to promote policies and standards to
ensure transparency. Well-regulated markets enable
effective mobilisation of domestic and foreign resources
for investment in enterprise development, innovation,
and job creation.
These elements speak not only of enabling growth and
sustainable development, but also ensure the creation of
healthy, sustainable, transparent, and inclusive markets,
which maximise the benefits while minimising the
potential of negative impacts.
Understand these factors on which the markets operate.
One must focus on the market fundamentals on which
and how they function. Without proper knowledge and
just influential factors, the stock market can wipe out the
investor’s wealth if he/she is being reckless and
impatient.
The market has punished those who have made their
decisions carelessly, but with proper education, one can
avoid dealing with losses. Once a person starts learning
about the depth of the stock market, it is for sure that at
the point that person realizes that there is no single
strategy that would work every time and result in huge
profits. It is something that needs to be focused on
continuously, with observing the patterns of the charts
which indicate what and when to buy and sell. If the
observation, instincts, and study are staunchly correct,
that person can do wonders and make good investments,
keeping the markets on the rise and drastically
improving the economy.

Cheque should be drawn in favour of
COVID
OCK
MARKET
- Ashlesh Khadse
he world is perfectly balancing the upcoming and
Ttraditional trends. Each of them must survive for
the other to thrive. One might think that the world
is digitalized and everything else is just secondary.
However, the reality is much different than what one
experiences. When everything was brought to a sudden halt
during the COVID-19 pandemic in India, other than
people’s lives what was most affected was the Indian Stock
Market. Some things cannot be stopped because of a
pandemic; the economy and stock market are two such
things.
India saw two waves of COVID-19 and each wave hit the
market harder than ever. Few major industries like
hospitality, entertainment, travel, and tourism dropped by
more than 40%. This affected the nation’s economy and
stocks of those industrial companies fell drastically. Before
lockdown, both National Stock Exchange (NSE) and
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) revived themselves and
were hitting their peak. After lockdown, both NSE and BSE
saw a dip in both NIFTY 50 and Sensex.
A Dip Greater than the Global Financial Crisis
Since the lockdown was imposed, not just in India, but
markets all around the world crashed with a dip it had never
witnessed before. The key to every market or commercial
activity, that is, transport was on hold, which made things
even harder for companies. Uncertainty in the market and
financial crunch across the industries were observed.
The Domino Effect
To understand a market, one must know that the market
depends on businesses and customers. Since the core
customer was locked in their houses, it was hard for
companies to find ways to target and reach them.
Despite the hurdles, companies came up with innovative
ways to reach their customers. Since, the micro, small and
medium scale industries were at an all-time low, the major
companies made the stock market hit an all-time
low.

The worst-hit industries
like hospitality, tourism
looked on the verge of collapse in
the market. These companies might
look independent but actually are
dependent on other industries. The domino
effect was in action and the market saw a dip in
other industries, making other companies from
different industries fall to either low or its all-time low. In
March 2020, the Indian Stock Market crashed six times in
almost 20 days. In March 2020, Sensex lost approximately
13,509.06 points.
The Constant Fall of Indian Stock Exchange Markets
The part about the stock market that everyone should know
is that it consists of two major players: Bear: The one who
makes a profit from the fall of company or market; Bull:
The one who makes a profit from the rise of company or
market. The ease of restrictions by the government allowed
the market to revive itself slowly but steadily, and the stock
market players were back in their game.
The market was in the phase of revival when the second
wave of COVID-19 hit the market. The stock market was
demanding revival and uncertainty rose with the emergence
of delta variant and the possibility of a third wave. This also
saw a drop in the traffic at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in
April, which was even lower than that of April 2020. Some
industries that were based on manpower really took a hit,
but the market was stable and ensured productivity in a
revival state without interruption.
Inflation and Rise of Indian Stock Market
Since COVID-19 had not only hit our lives but also the
markets in the worst possible way, the markets were opened
with precautions by the government. This presented the
opportunity for everyone to revive their bank balances
along with the revival of the market. Since people became
more focused on saving, what lurked around was inflation,
which increased the prices of goods and services in the
market.
Despite inflation, COVID-19 helped the Indians to
understand the working and basics of the Indian Stock
Market. This is because the stocks gave more return on
interest than reserved gold or real estate. This shift change
allowed common people to invest more in stocks rather
than other investment options. Since there was a swift
change in the behaviour of the consumer, the stock market
rose.
The Indian stock market recently saw some of its
companies hitting an all-time high. Along with that, the
focus of Indians also helped enhance the market and make
it stronger. In September 2021, the Indian Stock Market
overtook France for the first time to become the sixthlargest
stock market.
New Companies Entering the Stock Market
It is always during the tough time when the world sees
some of the most interesting and profitable business
ventures. However, this year has brought good news for
many companies. During the first nine months of 2021,
more than 72 IPOs (Initial Public Offering) hit the stock
market. By the end of 2021, it is projected that the Indian
Stock Market will record the highest number of IPOs in a
year.
COVID-19 has hit the market in many ways, showing the
adverse side of the market in the beginning to educating the
common people about the stock market. If it wasn’t for
COVID-19, the Indian Stock Market would not have got the
attention of the global investors. However, many factors
may have affected it but the best thing about the stock
market is that it always bounces back.

Technology
Change is inevitable. Technology has changed the
world for a long time, most notably affecting the
education industry in a positive way and reshaping
st
the teaching learning process. The 21 century learning has
brought a paradigm shift from teacher centered to student
centered learning. Infact, education is made more
interesting, impressive, and interactive when integrated
with the technology.
This integration of technology with learning explores the
various possibilities of knowledge utilisation for the
betterment of the students as well as the teacher’s fraternity.
Technology provides the pupils an effective way to
communicate, collaborate, and concentrate; thereby
bridging the space between the students and information.

Learning Management Systems, Social Media, and Personal
Learning Environments act as the pillars of educational
technology. Now let me highlight how exactly the
technology is transforming higher education:
Accessibility & Flexibility – – Ease of access to
education is an added advantage to draw students to
learning. Education is no longer limited to four walls of the
classroom. Integrating Technology into education has
become a boon for pupils by enabling the playing field to be
leveled.
Now education has become more accessible to rural areas,
towns, and cities. The students are exposed to teachers
across the globe just in front of them virtually. More
importantly, pupils with disabilities benefit from technology
since it increases their independence and helps them to
learn without the constant supervision of their teachers. The
blended approach of education not only saves much time
for teachers but also enables the student to learn at his own
pace. Also, each and every student’s activity can be
monitored with ease.
Communication & Collaboration – Communication is
the first step for any student to excel in his academic career
as it diminishes the gap between the student and the teacher.
The online mode of education has paved a pathway for each
and every pupil to connect with their teacher more easily
than that of the traditional way of education. E-learning via
G-Suite and others are encouraging teamwork as well as
individual growth. Research is being carried out like
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) hoping to bring
about a revolution in analyzing the data, automating the
assessment tools, and personalizing the learning platforms.

Online Resources & Tools – 21 century students are
exposed to an ocean of resources in the form of e-books,
videos, images, documentaries, digital library, articles,
journals, and blogs for both teaching and learning process.
The various tools include podcasts, gadgets like laptop,
mobiles, I pads and tablets, power point presentations,
communication tools, and content organizing tools.
Personalized and fun learning – Not all students have
equal learning abilities. Personalized learning is an
educational strategy that tries to tailor learning to the
strengths, needs, skills, and interests of each student. Each
student receives a personalized learning plan based on what
they already know and how they learn best. Different
learning styles, such as visual, aural, tactile, and social, can
assist pupils in learning according to their ability. Adding
little bit game further draws the student’s attention towards
learning. Different apps like mentimeter, kahoot, and quizlet
are available for fun learning.
Reduction in paperwork – Every educational institution
now has computers with installed software and programmes
that are connected to high-speed internet. It allows them to
focus on enhancing academic productivity and minimizing
paperwork. Students’/ teachers’ information, administrative
details, logistics, attendance, fees, test and examination
details, curriculum, content, and other activities are all
aided by these technologies. All of the tasks can be done
automatically, eliminating the requirement for manual
labour. Owing to the development of these technologies,
teachers can record lectures digitally and share them with
students instead of spending too much time preparing notes
and delivering lectures on the blackboard.
About the Author
Conclusion:
Education is nothing but teaching the students about the
arena of concepts that they have not learned yet. Integrating
technology into education is like embarking on a journey
into modern invention, where the teacher serves as a guide
during the trip. He also explores the various areas of growth
both for himself and the young minds, thereby playing an
important role in developing the nation.
