The Vijay Kedia blueprint: How one man turned small stocks into Rs 1,400 crore wealth

Vijay Kedia built his fortune not by chasing trends but by holding conviction. He focused on small, underappreciated companies with clear market opportunities, trustworthy promoters, and room to scale. A look at the patterns that guide Kedia’s entry and exit, how he identifies businesses worth holding for a decade, and how he evaluates risk in companies that look cheap but may not be scalable.

Vijay Kedia’s investing journey began not with success but with survival. A young trader in Kolkata, he racked up losses year after year, so severe that his family had to pawn assets just to keep him afloat. But instead of walking away from the market, Kedia changed how he approached it.

He stopped trading and started thinking like a business owner.

He focused on small, underappreciated companies with clear market opportunities, trustworthy promoters, and room to scale. Then he held them with quiet conviction, not for quarters but for decades.
