The Equity Quest, a virtual trading competition, was successfully organized by Finance and Investment Club of Sri Aurobindo College from October 10 to October 25, 2024. The event was held in collaboration with StockGro, which provided a virtual trading platform for the participants. This 16-day competition aimed to enhance students’ financial literacy and strategic thinking by giving them hands-on experience in stock trading with virtual funds. Participants engaged in equity trading in a simulated, risk-free environment, striving to achieve the highest portfolio value by the end of the competition.
The event followed a structured format with several key milestones. Each of the 322 participants received virtual capital to begin trading on October 10. Throughout the competition, participants benefited from daily market recaps, progress updates, and a live leaderboard to track their performance. The final trading session concluded on October 25, after which the winners were announced. Ansh Goyal emerged as the 1st place winner, Ishpreet Singh secured 2nd place, and Akshat Basandrai finished in 3rd place.
The success of Equity Quest highlights the potential for future finance competitions and advanced learning opportunities. Principal Prof. (Dr.) Vishal Kumar and Secretary, Sh. R.K. Rewari, commended the Finance Club’s efforts and encouraged the continuation of such initiatives to further enrich students’ financial knowledge and skills.
