Introduction to Ethical Investing in India (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798377055723)

Ethical investing, also called Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainability investing, is growing recently. Investors, particularly younger investors, are getting more concerned over the wider social and other impact of their investments and wish to contribute to positive changes in the world, rather than contribute towards increasing suffering. The highs and lows of the stock markets in different countries further give a push towards ethical investing as a way to locate more stable companies that believe in ethical values and are more likely to be profitable in the long term.

In this book, we introduce the concept of ethical investing and consider the avenues by which investors can invest ethically within India today. We discuss green energy, various ESG and ethical mutual funds and social investing avenues.

This book blends timeless wisdom from world religions and philosophy with the latest insights in behavioral science, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, and practical financial tools available to Indian and global investors. Whether you're a beginner, a young professional, a retiree, or an NRI, you'll discover step-by-step strategies for aligning your investments with your deepest values-without sacrificing returns.

Inside you'll find:

• Simple explanations of ESG, SRI, green bonds, and impact investing

• Case studies and practical guides for Indian and global markets

• Ways to measure real-world impact and avoid greenwashing

• Expert tips on taxation, compliance, and portfolio building

• Separate advice for different investor profiles-beginners, families, women, NRIs, and more

• Reflections from ancient and modern thinkers on money, meaning, and abundance

It is hoped that this book will raise awareness towards ethical investing and inspire existing and prospective investors to invest in a way that uses their money towards the wider good in this world.
