# Investor grows portfolio from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 1.30 crore in 7 years 2026-08-15T15:59:24+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet An anonymous investor with the handle @AlphaWizarDD on X claims to have grown his portfolio from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 1.30 crore in seven years, Livemint reports. He began in 2018-19 by copying stock tips and trading futures and options, but lost money initially. A YouTube video shifted his approach from buying to selling options, and a Rs 10 lakh loan from a friend failed, though he repaid it. Success came through systematic backtesting on StockMock, using time-based short straddles with strict discipline. He posted 86% and 83% annual returns in 2020 and 2021, and won Zerodha's 60-day challenge 17 times in a row. He now targets a 50% compound annual growth rate through a combination of systematic trading and investing. ## Coverage - livemint.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
