In this episode of Men’s Locker Room, host Sadhika Saigal sits down with Anish Singh Thakur—a leading trader, investor, and trading educator—for an insightful conversation that unpacks the real world of stock trading, investing, and the mindset behind financial success.
From his early struggles and losses in the stock market to building a successful trading career and business in Dubai, Anish shares his unfiltered journey through failure, learning, and discipline. He opens up about how he entered the trading and investing world during the 2018 crypto boom, how losses became his greatest lessons, and why true consistency in trading and financial markets comes only through knowledge, patience, and risk management.
Together, Sadhika and Anish explore the side of trading that most people don’t talk about—the emotional rollercoaster, the psychology of losses, and the reality behind the glamorous “trader lifestyle” often sold online. They discuss why over 90% of retail traders fail, the importance of trading psychology and money management, and how learning to lose is a key part of becoming a successful stock trader.
Anish also breaks down the essentials for anyone looking to start in the stock market—from understanding charts and developing strategies to mastering back-testing and handling risk. He also talks about building his trading floor in Dubai, mentoring young traders, and his views on wealth, education, and personal evolution. He also shares his philosophy on success, luxury, and the discipline required to sustain growth in the long run.
If you’re someone passionate about stock trading, investing, or developing a strong trader’s mindset, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the deeper side of the markets—from risk and reward to the mental resilience that defines every great trader.
