In the past year, the Sensex has been down from its highs.

First it was tariffs... and now, we have tensions in the Middle-East playing out in full force.

For India, developments in that region matter.

India relies heavily on oil and gas imports from the Middle East. The region is also an important trading partner.

When tensions rise there, the implications can ripple through our economy.

At a time like this, you may be wondering:

Should I stay out of the market? Or is there opportunity hidden in the chaos, like it was during the covid crash?

On 23rd March, Equitymaster’s Small Cap Analyst, Richa Agarwal will answer these questions...

And guide you on what she believes to be the most compelling way to invest in small caps this 2026.

As per her research, this approach – called proxy investing – allows regular investors to tap into major multi-crore economic and developmental trends unfolding in India.

What People Say About Richa’s Research

 

Before joining Richa’s research, my major concern was building conviction on the stocks one identifies, especially since these are small cap stocks with very high risks and chances of going wrong are very high.

So Richa's research helps in building that conviction. The way she is connected to the ground, sharing her research of what is actually transpiring in reality , that helps. She is neither limited in sectors nor in doing diligent research.

The way she shares the in-depth analyses is really commendable and she has been one of the Equity research analysts I have been following from a while, even before taking the service.

Prior to subscribing to Richa's research, my main concerns were how to value a company, assess its future perspectives and how long one should stay invested for getting optimum return.

Richa's research provides detailed analysis on a fundamental basis. The analysis is quite extensive and gives deep insights about the company and its future in light of emerging scenarios and macro development at country as well as global level.

It indicates clearly that patience and time must be given to get desired results by an investor. I will highly recommend the service to investors.

Richa is probably the best analyst on your team and I have immensely benefited from her recommendations, particularly because I had to take some drastic decisions about my career due to personal circumstances and my investments based on Richa's recommendations came to me and our family as a saviour.

Earlier on, I didn't have enough time to do research myself nor did I have specific experience and insights. Most recommendations available were based on shallow and flawed research.

I found Richa's recommendations were based on solid research and suitable for an aggressive investor (I didn't have a choice though I have become relatively more conservative now) like me. I particularly like her "boots on the ground" approach and assessment of the management quality.

I would absolutely recommend her <service name hidden as per regulatory requirements> services to anyone looking to invest in small caps or early stage companies.
