Stock Market ‘Crash’ Couldn’t Have Come at Worse Time for India’s Middle Class

The Quint  

Along with that, there are over 5 crore unique investors in mutual funds, who are indirectly invested in the markets. Even accounting for overlap with demat account holders, it is safe to say that 26-27 percent of Indian families are exposed to the stock markets today. That is a massive number, considering that 56 percent of Indians need free food to survive, and a majority of households have no real financial savings to put away as investments. This is why the current stock market collapse affects far more Indian households than any market downturn in the past. Other than the short, sharp, COVID-induced crash in March 2020, the last time that we saw a major correction in the Indian stock markets was in 2015-16.
