New Delhi (India), March 29: Mobile applications have made their way into nearly all spheres of human life. Today, almost everything is done through an app, owing to their virtue of ease and accessibility enabled by technological advancements. Over the past few years, due to this same convenience offered by trading apps in the world of personal finance, more and more people have turned to trading and investing.

Trading has come a long way since the days, when brokers would impose a flat fee on each transaction. Due to lower brokerage and exchange rates made possible by the widespread use of smartphones and trading apps, the trading environment has undergone significant change.

Today, retailers are choosing trading apps as a means to cut costs and time while taking advantage of several other benefits provided by these apps. Additional benefits of trading apps include push notifications, research reports, chart analysis, high-speed trading, technical and fundamental equity reports, heat maps, quick visualization of complex data, and much more. Even Millenials and Gen Z are opting for this route because of the detailed information and multiple trading options provided on these apps, motivating them to conduct research and select the best stocks. According to data from Apex Fintech Solutions, millennials were the most active traders during the fourth quarter in 2022.

So, as more and more investors are switching to mobile trading platforms, brokerage firms are fast enabling the facility of trading apps for their clients. Developers and service providers are carrying out a variety of product development analyses to offer a user-friendly and sophisticated trading platform as they embrace digitalization to streamline their business models.

Even though the idea of mobile trading is developing gradually, much of the software in the market is already quite sophisticated. Until a few years ago, most mobile trading apps were extremely basic and supported only analytics rather than actual trading. However, in the current market, trading apps allow you to essentially do everything with a full-featured platform. The market for trading apps is exploding and is anticipated to reach USD 89.8 billion by 2032 from worth USD 13.6 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 20.8%.

Umpteen investors use apps for daily online stock trading, including seasoned investors and investors from younger generations. In fact, this trend is accelerating as more and more people feel compelled to learn about the world of commodities and securities online. App use is also raising women’s participation in trading. According to a report from 2022, more than 81% of digital investors started their investment careers in the previous three years, with Millennials making up 93% of this user base, and women accounting for 40%.

Key benefits of Trading apps

 Cost-effectiveness: 

In conventional trading, the stockbroker’s consulting fee is substantially higher than the fee charged on these apps.

Convenience:

Opening a trading account online is a quick and easy process with the trading application. The only requirement is a mobile internet connection for registering and managing investments as per convenience. Low brokerage fees, user-friendly apps, and small investments are the primary motivators for using micro-investing apps.

One can save time and conduct trading activities whenever they want using these apps. Trading apps allow users to open online demat accounts to hold securities, debt, and financial equity as well as transact in both domestic and international stocks.

Investment monitoring:

The majority of online trading apps are made to display all of your investments along with their performance on a single screen. Additionally, you can calculate your profits and losses and buy and sell your shares whenever you like.

No intermediary:

A trading app confines interactions with brokers. Investors can choose from a range of portfolio recommendations made in the app based on the brokerage that conducts the app’s meticulous research. Also, you can buy or sell without depending on the availability of your broker because trading is literally at your fingertips. You have more control over investments because you can make decisions without interference from others.

Enhanced understanding:

Online trading apps force you to make important decisions and help you get acquainted with your money and the specifics of the financial industry. For aspiring investors, this could be a helpful path of self-learning.

Quicker transactions:

Orders for the purchase and sale of shares can be placed using trading apps, and the payment and collection processes for such transactions are also quick. These apps offer several convenient online payment options.

Conclusion

Previously, only those with the financial means to hire a stockbroker and an understanding of the advantages of wealth accumulation could trade. But today, with technology ruling the world, the market has opened up for a larger audience. Today, trading apps back confident investors who do not need constant guidance, feel in control and freely think through suitable options at their own pace.

The growth of mobile apps is unavoidable and unstoppable. Even as we discuss, new features are being added to some apps that are attempting to incorporate artificial intelligence. While it might take some time to fully incorporate such features into a mobile app, the future of trading may be entirely mobile.

New Delhi (India), March 29: In our daily lives, there are many factors that contribute towards unhealthy lifestyle and stressful days. They may lead you to the early risk of having heart attack. However, prevention of heart failure or heart attack can help you lead a long life. Here are some top cardiologists sharing their experiences and knowledge in suggestions on how you can predict the heart attack and prevent it from occurring.

Dr.  Manoj Bansal, MBBS, MD, DM Cardiology (Gold Medalist), FCSI, Lead Cardiologist, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Indore & Secretary, Cardiological Society of India, Indore

Heart diseases, together with high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus, are lifestyle diseases. We need to change our lifestyle and follow 10 golden rules: – Say no to the 6 S: salt, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, sugar, saturated fats, and stress. Walk for at least 45 minutes daily. Eat a well-balanced diet that includes fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, lentils, whole grains, and pulses. Remember to exercise daily. Do yoga and pranayama. Maintain a healthy weight. Get good-quality sleep. Get regular health screenings done, especially for blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Manage stress and drink a lot of water.

Healthy habits have to be started early. Families with a history of heart disease need to be very careful.

Dr. G V P Rao, MBBS, DNB (Med), FICC(Card), PhD(Card), DSc (Card), MCSI, MACC, PhD ( Heart Failure), Sr. Consultant Cardiologist & Philanthropist, Specialist in Interventional Heart  Failure, & Rehabilitation, Founder & CEO – Hridhayam Heart Clinic & Medi Heart Care Foundation, Nashik, Maharashtra

Heart attacks are one of the major causes of death worldwide, irrespective of age and gender. It is always better to know how to predict heart attacks for every individual and these are the few simple predictors for Heart attacks are characterized by sudden, profuse sweating associated with nausea and vomiting. Pain in the arms and chest are the most common indicators. Diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, tobacco use, excessive body fat, and the size of the waist measurement play an important role. High LDL cholesterol (Bad cholesterol) or very Low HDL cholesterol (Good cholesterol) are the best predictors of the risk of heart attack. Some of the major A-typical predictors are shortness of breath with exertion and better with rest, sudden throat pain, back chest pain, right hand radiating pain, A blood test for high-sensitivity Troponin T indicates damage to the heart muscle.

Dr. Lal Daga, MBBS, DNB (Med.), DNB (Card) MNAMS, FESC (International), FEAC, Advanced Cardiology Training Programme (Seoul), Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Apollo Hospital, Ahmedabad

Early predictor of heart diseases and the most common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, which can be excruciating or cause choking sensations. It can be breathlessness, sweating, palpitations, or early fatigue. 10% of patients can have upper abdominal discomfort or a burning sensation in the low chest as well. If these symptoms or signs are caught at a young age, many lives can be saved with earlier cardiac workup. These symptoms should work as an alarm to seek cardiologist assistance.

The patient with particularly in a high-risk group like diabetes, hypertension, family disease, kidney disease, or smokers, one should be highly cautious.

Some patients, e.g., the elderly, diabetics, cancer patients, and those with chronic diseases, may have mild or silent symptoms. These all patients can be benefited by early cardiac risk evaluation at onset by LpA,HsCRP, a lipid profile, homocysteine, and cardiac markers with an ECG, 2D ECHO, TMT, AND ANGIOGRAPHY. As patient-tailored management by a cardiologist. The earlier you start, the better your chances are of avoiding complications.

Dr. S. S. Murthy, MBBS, DNB, MNAMS, Director & HOD – Ayushman Hospital, Dwarka, New Delhi

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide. Typical symptoms like tightness in the chest are more obvious. Identifying the signs of a heart attack and seeking early medical help can make a lot of difference. Here are some symptoms to look out for: Heaviness in the center of the chest, which can radiate to the left arm or to both arms, Excessive sweating, shortness of breath, or ghabrahat, or palpitations, can indicate complications of a heart attack, which can be dangerous to life. Pain in the upper half of the body, a choking sensation in the throat, or dizziness or lightheadedness may be a sign of an impending heart attack.

It may also occur due to other conditions like cervical spondylosis, ear problems, dehydration,low BP, or a gastric problem. If it doesn’t subside, medical help with an ECG should be sought immediately as it may indicate an impending heart attack.

Dr. Puneet K Verma, Interventional Cardiologist & Structural Heart Specialist, ACE HEART AND VASCULAR INSTITUTE, Mohali, Punjab

The common risk factors are absent in the majority of these patients, while sedentary lifestyles, substance abuse, faulty diets, and abnormal body fat distribution abound in them. Atypical symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, breathlessness, and fatigue can be some of the leading symptoms that may precede a heart attack. Early on, getting a blood sample tested for high-sensitivity troponin protein may help us diagnose and prevent a major heart attack. Recently, doctors have been out to validate the utility of troponin watches. Such a watch worn around the wrist can pick up the earliest trace of troponin in the bloodstream well before detection by conventional blood tests.
Premature heart attacks can also occur in those with elevated blood levels of lipoprotein (a), high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), and homocysteine. A simple CT scan assessment of the coronary arteries, either by the calcium score or by CT angiography, can also help us pick up the blockages early on and can help in the prediction and prevention of heart attacks.

Dr. Upendra Bhalerao, MS, MCh, DNB FIACS   Consultant Cardiothoracic and Transplant Surgeon Jaslok hospital and Research centre, Mumbai

Coronary artery disease in the Indian population occurs at a much younger age than its prevalent age in the western world. Presentation in younger individuals can be chest pain, acute myocardial infarction, or severe cardiovascular collapse leading to sudden death. With awareness, lifestyle modification, and adequate care, coronary artery disease is preventable, predictable, and curable. Some major risk factors that lead to heart attacks include smoking, unhealthy food, stress, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and a lack of physical activity.

Do proper health check-ups—at least once a year. Consume a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, high-fiber foods, lean meats, and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. Minimize beverages and foods with added sugars. Regular exercise helps to lower blood pressure and combat other cardiovascular disease risk factors. Mindful meditation and deep breathing can help manage stress.

Dr. Abhinit Gupta, MD, DM (AIIMS, Delhi) Gold Medalist, FIACM, FSCAI Senior Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Regency Health, Kanpur

A heart attack is a medical emergency when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart. Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back, or arms, as well as fatigue, an abnormal heartbeat, and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men. A heart attack is best suspected on clinical grounds in the presence of typical symptoms against the background of risk factors for CAD. Usually, serial ECGs and cardiac enzymes on blood samples, known as troponin tests, are sufficient in most cases to diagnose a heart attack.

Dr. Abhinit Gupta said that if you can treat someone much earlier, before they have symptoms, you will be far more effective in preventing cardiac events. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation to medication, stents, and bypass surgery.

Dr. Salve Jaysing, MD Med. (Mumbai) Director & Physician, Cardiologist, Dietologist, Mumbai

The Heart Attack is a leading cause of deaths all over the world.  It’s very common in the population who has modifiable RISK Factors such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension high cholesterol, obesity and a sedentary life style.  HEART ATTACK ARE CAUSE BY THE OCCULUSION OF CORONARY ARTERIES because of sudden rupture of inner layers of arteries and formation of blood clot within it. Modifiable risk factors account for 90% heart attack in men and 94% in females.

Patients with pain in the center of chest with profuse sweating must rush to the doctor or hospital for an urgent ECG and if require, cardiac ENYMES investigation. After the with confirmation of diagnosis patient must chew and consume 300 mg of aspirin and rush to an ICCU Hospital Preferably with CATH LAB without any exertion where he either goes directly for coronary angiography and primary angioplasty within n9 minutes of chest pain or second option is to dissolve the clot by THROMBOLYTIC drugs.

Dr. Mohit M Bhagwati, DrNB Cardiology, Interventional Cardiologist and Incharge – Acute Cardiac Care, Holy Family Hospital, New Delhi

While predicting a heart attack may not be foolproof, taking proactive steps to reduce risk factors and monitor one’s health can greatly improve the chances of preventing a heart attack. There are several factors that can increase the risk of a heart attack, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes, obesity and a family history of heart disease. To predict the likelihood of a heart attack, we often use a combination of investigations. These may include an electrocardiogram (ECG), a stress test (Treadmill Test or Stress Echocardiogram), and few blood tests. Additionally, there are several warning signs that may indicate a heart attack is imminent like chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweats. If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.

Dr. Kshitij R. Dadhe, MBBS, MD General Medicine, D.M. Cardiology (Gold Medalist), Consultant & Interventional Cardiologist – Asha Hospital, Nagpur

Cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately one-third of all deaths worldwide. Prevention of CVD requires timely identification of people at increased risk. Several prediction models have been developed, like QRISK, ASCVD Risk Score, etc., which calculate an individual’s 10-year risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. They consider various modifiable risk factors like high BP, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes mellitus, obesity, physical inactivity (and other factors like stress, excess alcohol, lack of sleep, and a lack of a balanced diet) and non-modifiable risk factors like old age, male gender, and family history of premature CAD, race, postmenopausal status, and preeclampsia.

Those who are at increased risk should aggressively target control of modifiable risk factors through effective dietary, lifestyle, or drug interventions. Various AI tools are under development to further refine risk predictions.

By Yash Vardhan Swami, Health Coach, Business Coach, Founder, Trained by YVS

New Delhi (India), March 29: Learn what to keep in mind ! So many of us ‘almost reach our fat loss goal’ but never completely reach our ‘end goal’. Let’s talk about why:  Losing the final Kgs is hard and how to work around it.  We will be discussing multiple aspects as to ‘Why’ Losing the Final Kgs is the ‘Hardest’.

Let’s start with Psychological Aspects: most of us, when we move close to our ‘goal weight’, start looking good in clothes, so that weight stops bothering us that much. Only motivational bouts we get are before a week’s vacation and it’s very temporary.

So, step #1 should be reinstating a stronger ‘Why’ which should be much more than the way we look and should be extended to being a better and more disciplined version of self. Having a goal, a definitive plan and accountability with a coach/mentor who you trust can help a lot with this.

Now, the motivation is a little low. Let’s understand how a bit of our body works and how we can work around it. Evolutionarily speaking, our body is designed to survive and store excess energy so that if someday we run out of food our body can use these stores for survival (like early man could).

So, when aiming to lose the final kilo’s our craving levels are higher, food focus increases, we become lazier and we have bouts of questioning the process and our goals. That’s your body wanting you to not lose fat (as when we are dieting i.e. eating fewer calories than what we are burning, our body suspects ‘famine’).

A lot of this is mediated through hormones such as: Downregulation of thyroid (regulates our metabolism) and leptin (signals satiety) and up regulation of ghrelin (which signals hunger) That’s simply our body getting ‘efficient’ for survival.

Tracking food intake, daily activity (i.e. daily steps) and progress regularly and updating stuff as and when required can be a game changer in this situation.

Another thing which might happen during this process(esp. when we have been dieting for a while) is that we get impatient. Like I mentioned, the body becomes efficient, results might get slower and that becomes mentally challenging.

Along with these, if stress and sleep are not managed, that can wreak havoc on our energy levels (and even hunger).
So, special prioritization should be given to mindfulness routine, managing stress (aiming to be in a parasympathetic mode i.e. calm mode for the most part) and having a pre-sleep and morning routine is a must.

Another aspect to take care of while aiming to lose this final bit of fat: We need to ensure that we are in a caloric deficit, not a nutrient deficit. Ensuring that we are having macronutrients(protein, carbs and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) is a must.

Yes, we need to eat fewer calories than what we burn but the deficit should not be messing up our health or relationship with food.

Coupling that with 3-5 weight training sessions/week and enough daily activity is a must to retain lean body mass, so that when we lose the final kgs, we look: LEAN, not skinny.

Huge focus on health and reinstating our ‘Why’ and why we are doing it is a game changer for most of us.

Coupling that up with trust in process, a plan we trust, being accountable to a coach we trust and working on our psychology around our short term and long term goals is a surefire way of increasing our chances of success.

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 29: Dr. Polaris, a medical e-Learning startup, has launched the Medical PG Entrance Prep space, with their latest study programme Study-a-thon. It is an Internal/Semester based Study marathon series with scheduled pre-recorded MBBS theory based videos, Live PG Entrance Sessions, Live Practical Videos, Practical Mocks, Qbanks & Test Series, to make sure that the aspirants are theory-ready, practical-ready & PG-entrance ready for the present Internal/Semester topics.

According to Dr. Sharook Mubarak, Founder & CEO, Dr. Polaris, “Medical PG entrance is one of the most competitive exams in India. Every year, approximately 2 lakh aspirants attend the exam and only 15% to 20% get into the PG seat. One of the best solutions for grasping a seat is to start the preparation early and be consistent, but without losing focus on MBBS itself. However, that’s easier said than done.

In reality, MBBS students from day one tend to focus more on PG Entrance prep, which targets objective question patterns, which may make the student compromise their foundation & conceptual part of medical learning. We’ve been working a lot to come up with a solution where a student achieves a good foundation along with PG Entrance prep – all aligned in a single line. After months of research & preparation, the platform is launching PG prep with an aim to introduce a new culture of MBBS to PG Entrance learning and study-a-thon series is a perfect starter for that.

PG Entrance Prep is a marathon for sure & to finish that, the edtech platform is introducing some Short High-Intensity systematic sprints like Study-a-thon. During each academic year of MBBS life, the students will have 3 Semesters/Internal exams and Study-a-thon will primarily focus on preparing them for PG Entrance based on their current Semester/Internal topics, along with giving them resources to make them university exam ready as well. This way they can focus on their MBBS & PG Entrance simultaneously”.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], March 29: Amid challenging economic conditions, startups and businesses must relook at their business models and adopt more frugal business practices to attract investor interest, experts said at the GVFL Annual Investors Meet 2023.

“The times are challenging. Money is there, but funds are going to be choosy in the startups they invest in. Startups will have to relook at their revenue models, adopt more frugal business practices, reduce expenses, and focus on profitability to tide over the crisis,” Kamal Bansal, MD, GVFL said in his welcome address. Bansal also shared GVFL’s future plans saying it will launch its 10th fund very shortly. He said that with the ‘Gujarat Young Entrepreneurs Venture Fund’ announced by the Government of Gujarat in the budget, GVFL hopes to catalyse investment of more than Rs. 3,000 crores in startups in Gujarat in three to five years.

The GVFL Annual Investors Meet brought together more than 250 startup founders, investors, incubators, institutional investors, funds, and other stakeholders to discuss investing trends and other relevant topics. The day-long meet saw panel discussions on upcoming sectors and investing trends, lessons learnt in startup investment & way forward, and risks and rewards of seed-stage investments. Representatives of Speciale Invest, Jupiter Capital, JSW Ventures, Omnivore Partners, Carpediem Advisors, IVY Cap Ventures, Blume Ventures, Mumbai Angels, CIIE.co, Venture Garage, and Iroller Capital participated in the panel discussions.

During the meet, experts stressed on finding business models that will cater to the middle and the bottom of the pyramid and not just the top of the pyramid. They also emphasised the need for innovation, ideas that help in solving real-world problems, and the right execution. Delivering the keynote address, Piruz Khambatta, CMD, Rasna Group, urged startups to find innovative solutions that reach the grassroots level and help in promoting inclusive growth and nation-building.

In his address, Sunil Parekh, who is advisor to leading corporates and works extensively in promoting startups, said, “Indian startups have had an enormous impact on us as consumers and citizens, but have tech startups and unicorns developed any innovative technologies, done some foundational technological research? The answer is a big no.” He also said that India is home to 91,000 registered startups, 108 unicorns, and the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world. He, however, noted that almost no unicorn in India has been formally incubated in an incubator, and called upon the audience to deliberate why the most successful ventures are outside the formal incubation ecosystem.

In his remarks, Mihir Joshi, President, GVFL said, “There is certainly a cash crunch. Investors are being cautious. But is this the funding winter? No, we are back to normal from the unsustainable, high startup valuations had touched.”

Nine startups, in which GVFL is an investor, also made presentations about their business, their growth, and their plans. The startups include Zero Cow Factory, Video SDK, Saarthi Pedagogy, Zoivane, Pivoting, PetPooja, All that Dips, Qarmatek and Eronkan.
