Who are India's best stock traders?

IF you write the same question on Google answer will come to Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Vijay Kedia, Porinju Veliyath,etc. while someone wrote also on Radhakishan Damani, Ramesh Damani, and Raamdeo Agrawal all are wrong because they are investors not traders.

Below are the top successful stock traders in India which I picked from reading many stories of traders.
1 Tasneem Mithaiwala

A single mother of two daughters who is pursuing professional courses, Tasneem picked up trading because that was the only thing she could do by sitting at home and taking care of her ailing mother.
The first woman successful trader in India is an example of what a strong mind can achieve. An Arts student who doesn’t have any financial knowledge and financial background, Tasneem today trade options successively for a living.
While Tasneem looking for opportunities to work from home one of her cousin said that he was doing trading in equity markets and he guided her explore equity trading opportunities. At that time her cousin would give her trades or leads and she does buy and sell according to his suggestions.
She was an art student so she won't have any financial background despite that her discipline and focus on trading given more success in trading. She started her ‘trading’ journey with a capital of Rs 5 lakh and by the end of 8 months, She found that the capital had come down to Rs 1.75 lakh. After that, she realizes that for trading need financial knowledge and she understates stock traders' behavior and become successful traders.
More than the strategy she trades, Tasneem’s story is about mental strength and discipline and is an inspiration to all those traders who are unable to find their moto.
What did we learn from Tasneem Mithaiwala?
Never depends blindly on someone else and before doing trading get some financial knowledge and trading knowledge.
2. Kirubakaran Rajendran

Kirubakaran Rajendran from Chennai developed Trading Bots which we can say automated trading system which generates trades automatically using a given set of rules to do his trading. His current lifestyle was achieved after years of hard work and learning from every possible mistake one can do and probably more.
His work is over by 10 am, after which he sits and reads a journal or a book or watches the TV series – Billions. At the end of the day, the trader goes to the gym. Fridays are compulsorily meant for friends, and he takes about 2-3 road trips with his family and friends in a year.
Kirubakaran Rajendran started his job in Infosys with a salary of Rs 15000 per month. A day before Infosys' results he had built a position of Rs. 1.5 lakh in Infosys strangles because of this he could not sleep that day with such a huge position. The next day, results were announced before market hours and when Infosys opened that morning, the value of his strangles had come down to Rs 20,000. He had lost more than 3 months of his salary in a single day. Lessons are never do trades in news base stocks because next day anything can happen we don’t know.
This was a big lesson for him in trading career and he understands that rather than running away from the market he started reading and researching what makes a successful trader click. This is when he decided to move from news-based trade to rule-based trade.
The second mistake he made in trading he borrowed money to trade in the market. Which most of the new traders doing currently.
Advice from Kirubakaran Rajendran for new Traders
For an aspiring trader, he would say always have a clear set of simple rules. Do not trade if you cannot explain in two lines. The more you complicate, the less likely the strategy would work.
People generally go for strategies that give higher returns without looking at the drawdowns. For example, if a strategy gives a return of 40 percent per annum with a drawdown of 15 percent, it is certainly better than a strategy giving 90 percent returns but having drawdowns of 40-45 percent. Chose the ones where risk is lower.
3. Abhinand Basavaraj

Abhinand Basavaraj, 29, hails from Mysuru and is almost a hermit in the trading world. A self-taught trader his first trade was at the age of 19. But it was only after seven years of agonising work that he found his mojo.
He entered into the stock market at the age of 19 with his cousin who was taken the franchise of broking. He borrowed money from the father to open a Demat account. He started trading the same way other trades do front line stocks like Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank and at that time he was not following any trading strategies and he made a loss. He was one of the traders who lost money in Satyam scam. After this, he turned stock to options for trading and he didn’t tell his father also that he was lost his money. For financial support, he took help from a brother who was a banker but again he made a huge loss and he decided to stop trading for some time. After some time he started learning about technical analysis and understand how trading works and financial knowledge. He borrowed money also for trading with the high cost and he decided to tell all stories to his father. At that time his father one of the major backbone to give the confidence to go forward.
After that, he joined his brother real estate startup and continue trading with business. He trades in the Nifty option and specifically more on buy-side. He using many technical strategies like trend line or MACD, etc.
Persistence, self-confidence and family support all played an important part in his success. Though he still claims to be an evolving trader, few can claim to have achieved the kind of success that Basavaraj has.
Lessons from Abhinand Basavaraj
First learn about stock market than create own strategy and never take loan for trading plus always shared to someone who knows you better.
4.Naresh Nambisan

Nambisan is from the old school of trading where he prefers putting in manual effort rather than automating it. Obsessed with charts, he can look at charts for hours without getting bored. And, when he is not looking at them, he likes to read and travel.
His wife was a software engineer in Bangalore and he had experience in both India and Gulf so he transferred from the gulf to India for the job. When he came to India he found that getting jobs in India was difficult and Gulf experience not worked in India. During this time he connected with his friends and he came to know about technical analysis so for that he Google a about technical analysis. For more knowledge, he joined the Yahoo group also for technical analysis but on that group, only trading calls are coming to no knowledge he getting from that. In 2008 he was also doing trading and lost 40000 Rs. So from that, he learned Never depends on other no doubt he earned a good amount from that group so to become independent traders he taking out information about technical analysis form Google and YouTube. After some time he understands price chart strategy and he liked it. Today also he working on the same strategy for trading.
Currently, Naresh Nambisan living in the village and doing trading.
Advice from Naresh Nambisan
Keep your trading as simple as possible. Do not complicate the charts with too many indicators. Try to eliminate what is not needed. Looking at every data point like open interest, FII and DII buying and selling data do not work.
Test the indicators yourself. Improve yourself one step at a time. Take up your system and sharpen it by looking inside the system and correcting it rather than jumping to a new one if the earlier one did not work on a few occasions. Trust your chart. Baaki sab is bakwaas (rest all is rubbish).
Lessons from Naresh Nambisan
Never depends on others and create own strategy

“He tells his friends who want to be traders that if they do not have a supportive spouse do not be a trader,” he says.
