Top Smallcap Stocks to Buy in India for 2024

Are you looking to invest in the next Amazon, Titan or Bajaj Finserv? Then you should definitely explore your options in small-cap stocks.

Most of the big and well-known companies started out as smallcap companies. For example, Berkshire Hathaway was once a struggling textile company. No moat. No rosy financials. Just a bleak future.

Or consider Apple, Microsoft, or Facebook. All these companies started out as smallcaps. With a proper management team and presence of economic moat, these companies made big bucks for investors and are among the top companies in the world today.

What makes small-cap stocks a good investment?

Historically, small-cap stocks have outperformed during times of economic recovery.

Small-cap stocks have been known to generate over 100x return on their original value in some cases. Investors with an appetite to take on some high risk and looking to make multibagger returns may consider investments in small-cap stocks.

But here’s the thing. Smallcaps also tend to be more volatile than largecaps, as they are more vulnerable to recessions, market crashes, and other shocks. They often have bigger swings on news like earnings reports.

If you pick the right smallcap stocks in India, you could be on the fastest road to generational wealth.
