On the morning of 1st August, Aryan Tiwari opened his laptop right on time.
Today's focus was Tata Elxsi.
According to KaalDrishti, the stock had closed at ₹58 on July 31st, opened at ₹57.5 today, and was expected to climb to ₹64.2 by 1 PM tomorrow.
Before the market opened, Aryan checked the latest news.
Breaking News:National Semiconductor Mission Fund increases its stake in Tata Elxsi by 5%.
Aryan's eyes lit up.
This was a major positive signal. Institutional buying meant confidence. Trading volume was already 30% higher than yesterday, showing strong inflows.
At 9:30 AM, Tata Elxsi opened at ₹57.5.
Exactly as predicted.
Aryan invested his entire capital of ₹15,326.80, buying 264 shares. After brokerage and taxes, ₹144.90 remained in his account.
Within thirty minutes, the price climbed steadily.
₹58… ₹58.5… ₹59.
By 10:00 AM, Aryan's unrealized profit had crossed ₹390.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
"Should I try intraday swing trading?"
KaalDrishti showed that today's closing price would be around ₹60.5, while the real breakout was expected tomorrow.
If he sold part of his holding at today's peak and bought it back on a dip, he could accelerate capital growth.
At 2:00 PM, Tata Elxsi touched ₹60.5.
Aryan didn't hesitate.
He sold 100 shares at ₹60.5, locking in ₹300 profit before charges.
A while later, just as expected, the stock pulled back slightly to ₹59.8.
Aryan immediately bought back the same 100 shares, completing his first successful intraday swing.
After fees, the net profit from this move was ₹223.
At 3:00 PM, Tata Elxsi closed at ₹60.5, perfectly matching the prediction.
Aryan leaned back in his chair, smiling.
His account now showed:
Cash: ₹9,985.20
Holdings: 264 shares of Tata Elxsi
Total Capital: ₹25,957.20
In just days, he had crossed ₹25,000.
This wasn't luck anymore.This was skill plus discipline.
Just as he closed the trading software, his phone rang.
📞 Neha Sharma – Axis Securities
"Aryan ji, hello," Neha said politely."Our branch is hosting a small investment sharing session next weekend. We'd like to invite you as a guest speaker to talk about selecting fundamentally strong stocks."
Aryan froze for a second.
"Me? I've never done something like that," he replied honestly.
She laughed softly."It's just an informal discussion. Many clients have noticed your recent stock picks. About 20 people, very relaxed. Just share your experience."
After a moment's thought, Aryan agreed.
That evening, he prepared seriously.
He listed his past trades:
Chenguang Biotech
HuaCe Testing
Tata Motors
BYD India
Tata Elxsi
For each, he wrote:

Volume–price behavior
On 5th August at 2 PM, the session began.
Aryan, wearing a simple blue shirt, stood at the podium. The audience was mostly middle-aged investors, with a few youngsters like him.
"Hello everyone," Aryan began."My name is Aryan Tiwari. I'm not an expert—just someone learning step by step. Today I'll share how I pick stocks."
He spoke calmly, clearly.
When a middle-aged lady asked how to judge fundamentals without reading balance sheets, Aryan replied:
"Ma'am, start simple—profit growth above 20%, P/E below industry average, and a healthy profit margin. These three already tell you a lot."
Another young man asked about panic selling.
Aryan explained gently:
"If price falls but volume doesn't rise, and there's no bad news, it's often a shakeout. Selling in fear usually benefits big players."
The session ended with applause.
Many people tried to add him on WhatsApp, but Aryan politely declined.
"I don't give stock tips," he said honestly."Everyone should decide for themselves."
Back home, Aryan opened KaalDrishti again.
Next target appeared:
Reliance Industries
Close (6 Aug): ₹1780
Open (7 Aug): ₹1775
Close (8 Aug): ₹1890
Expected gain: 6.5%
Stable. Defensive. Reliable.
Not explosive—but safe.
Aryan nodded.
He reviewed the fundamentals:
Net profit growth: 15%
P/E ratio: 30
Profit margin: Extremely strong
Festival season demand ahead
Perfect for capital preservation.
Lying on his bed, Aryan scrolled through photos from the sharing session.
Just weeks ago, he was a laid-off engineer, anxious about rent and debt.
Now—
He was profitable.
Respected.
And moving steadily toward ₹1,00,000.
Aryan Tiwari closed his eyes.
