Wrapping up 2008, Onwards & upwards in 2009
Well, 2008 was certainly an eventful year - those of us involved in the markets got an experience of a life-time. On the personal front, this was the first full year of entrepreneurial & trading experience for me, and it was fantastic in terms of learning - though not as much on the moolah side. 
At Moneyoga, we went from a round of VC visits and website updates early on in the year to a focus on system development starting April, and full-time trading all the way till October. Since then, we’ve decided to discontinue further efforts on the Moneyoga.com site itself, and instead figure out a way to better utilize our analytics & systems for wealth management.
Looking to the future, 2009 is going to be a year of many new beginnings from me, including:
- Relocation to Pune - yup, it’s bye bye to Navi Mumbai and back to the place where I grew up.
- An Adjunct Faculty position at SIBM - this is something completely new for me, and it’s going to be fun talking about capital markets with MBA students.
- 2 new intiatives at GalaTime: 5 Lakh Virtual Portfolios & the Gujarati site. (I intend to expand the latter into print media as well).
As for investing / trading / money management, the new direction for 2009 will certainly build upon my data/analytics driven approach to markets and the urgent need for better (cost effective, client friendly, systematic) investment management solutions for retail investors in India.
