Mint Horizons, a masterclass series on global investing launches in Bengaluru | Mint

In today’s dynamic financial landscape, Indian investors face increasing challenges with domestic market volatility and currency fluctuations. Recognising the need for diversification and global exposure, we are proud to presentMint Horizons, an exclusive masterclass series designed to empower investors with the knowledge and tools to navigate international markets effectively.

Featuring some of the top investment gurus, the Mint Horizons workshop series will be held across several cities over the next few months – starting with Bengaluru on March 26 and followed by Mumbai and Delhi in April. There are limited seats in each city, so if you are keen to join in, register here.

Why Invest Overseas?

The recent downturn in the Indian stock market, coupled with a depreciating rupee, underscores the importance of diversification. Mint has extensively covered the benefits ofglobal investing—from mitigating local market risks to gaining access to high-growth international stocks.

“Mint Horizons is all about looking at the wider world as a place to invest, travel or even settle in. We need an outward facing financial system and media, as more of our families, friends and customers come from outside India,” says Neil Borate, Editor, Mint Money.

Adds Prashanth Ranganathan, Founder & CEO at Zinc Money, “India’s financial landscape is evolving rapidly, with initiatives like GIFT City and capital flow liberalisation opening global corridors like never before. This is a pivotal moment for Indians to access international markets, create dollar accounts, and invest across asset classes worldwide. As India attracts global investors, Indians too can grow their wealth by seamlessly participating in the global economy.”

Many Indian investors still hesitate due to information asymmetry regarding the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of global investments. Mint Horizons bridges this gap by offering a hands-on learning experience, where attendees will gain practical knowledge on opening accounts overseas, navigating regulations, and identifying strong international investment opportunities.

Additionally, the concept of building a dollar corpus has been gaining traction, particularly for those planning for long-term financial security, such as funding their children’s education abroad or creating a globally diversified portfolio. This masterclass will provide expert insights on how to structure a robust dollar-based investment plan to ensure financial stability and protection from currency fluctuations.

The Mint Horizons Bangalore edition will be an intimate workshop held at the Bangalore International Centre. With a limited seating capacity of about 60 guests, the event ensures personalised engagement and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

“There has been a depreciation of over 85% in the value of the Indian rupee over the course of less than a full career. If you strip investing of all its jargon, it is a pretty simple game: avoid big losses, stay with the winners and diversify investments across asset classes, sectors and markets,” says Devina Mehra in her book Money, Myths and Mantras: The Ultimate Investment Guide.
