Gen Z fuels India's trading boom, but most young traders are losing money
India's younger generation is reshaping the country's trading landscape. According to SEBI, investors under the age of 30 now account for 43% of derivatives market participants, highlighting Gen Z's growing appetite for financial markets. However, the regulator's data also reveals a stark reality: 89% of traders below 30 incurred losses in FY26. The trend has sparked debate over financial literacy, risk-taking behaviour and the growing influence of social media-driven investing among young Indians.
