Shashank, who now manages over \u20b9150 crore, joins The 1% Club to break down the geopolitics behind the latest escalation and connect it directly to the stock market, mutual funds and personal finance decisions Indian investors face today.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation begins with a simple question: who is winning? Shashank explains how the United States has moved from exporting mainly defence and dollars to becoming a major exporter of oil, LNG and helium, why energy infrastructure has become a primary target in this war, and how Russia has used discounted oil and gas to fund its military efforts. He also covers why Europe&#8217;s reduced dependence on Russian energy changes its willingness to go to war, how China has prepared with strategic oil reserves, and why India increasingly finds itself as a proxy caught between the US, Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the episode offers clear, practical perspective. Shashank shares why he believes mutual fund investors should continue their SIPs and even increase them during a market correction, how low the Nifty could go in a worst-case scenario, why market fear creates opportunity for stock pickers, and the one trigger that would make him move to cash. He also discusses innovation gaps at India&#8217;s largest companies, the defence sector, India&#8217;s position in AI and semiconductors, and why global capability centres (GCCs) could reshape real estate in cities like Hyderabad, Pune and Bangalore.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Shashank walks through his own research process, from the news sources he reads daily to a real example of how connecting global memory price trends with a company&#8217;s earnings led to a 60% return. This is an essential listen for anyone trying to understand how geopolitics, the economy and investor psychology come together in a volatile market.<\/p>\n<p>Guest Social Handles<\/p>\n<p>LinkedIn: https:\/\/in.linkedin.com\/in\/shashankudupa1<br \/>\nTwitter\/X: https:\/\/x.com\/ShashankUdupa1<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shashank_udupa\/<br \/>\nWebsite: https:\/\/www.shashankudupa.co.in<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe:<\/p>\n<p>The 1% Club<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/onepercentclub<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/the-1-clubfws<\/p>\n<p>Sharan Hegde<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/financewithsharan<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sharanhegde95<br \/>\nTwitter\/X: https:\/\/x.com\/financewsharan<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Sharan Hegde is a personal finance creator &amp; founder of the 1% Club, simplifying money, markets, and mindset for India&#8217;s next generation of wealth builders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Timeline<\/p>\n<p>00:00 &#8211; Introduction<br \/>\n03:09 &#8211; Europe, Russia and the Fear of World War 3<br \/>\n05:11 &#8211; How the US Exports Dollars and Why It Matters<br \/>\n06:50 &#8211; The US as a Leading Exporter of Oil, LNG and Helium<br \/>\n08:53 &#8211; How Russia Funds the War With Discounted Energy<br \/>\n09:11 &#8211; India&#8217;s Russian Oil Arbitrage<br \/>\n10:06 &#8211; Why Europe Is Preparing for War<br \/>\n11:19 &#8211; Greenland and America&#8217;s Strategic Plan<br \/>\n13:06 &#8211; How China Benefits With Strategic Oil Reserves<br \/>\n14:13 &#8211; What This Means for India<br \/>\n16:10 &#8211; India&#8217;s Diplomatic Balancing Act<br \/>\n16:53 &#8211; Ethanol, UPI Charges and the Policy Narrative<br \/>\n19:14 &#8211; The Safest Countries for Global Investors<br \/>\n19:32 &#8211; Advice for Investors Fully Invested in India<br \/>\n21:20 &#8211; Indian Companies That Are Innovating<br \/>\n22:08 &#8211; Are India&#8217;s Largest Companies Innovating Enough?<br \/>\n23:38 &#8211; The Defence Sector and India&#8217;s Two-Front Risk<br \/>\n25:03 &#8211; How Low Can the Nifty Go?<br \/>\n26:10 &#8211; Why Citizens of Singapore and Switzerland Seem Happier<br \/>\n28:11 &#8211; Corruption, Efficiency and Infrastructure<br \/>\n29:24 &#8211; Can Democracy Deliver Speed of Progress?<br \/>\n32:45 &#8211; BlackRock, REITs and Global Capital in India<br \/>\n33:19 &#8211; India&#8217;s Gap in AI and Semiconductors<br \/>\n34:14 &#8211; How Shashank Cuts Through Market Noise<br \/>\n35:08 &#8211; His Daily News and Research Sources<br \/>\n36:43 &#8211; Case Study: A 60% Gain From Rising Memory Prices<br \/>\n38:34 &#8211; Why Bad Markets Create Opportunities<br \/>\n39:15 &#8211; Real Estate and the GCC Opportunity<br \/>\n40:55 &#8211; Where the Next Conflict Could Emerge<br \/>\n41:23 &#8211; When He Would Take a Cash Call<br \/>\n41:55 &#8211; Closing Thoughts<\/p>\n<p>#financewithsharan<br \/>\n#geopolitics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download 1% Club App Now! https:\/\/dl.onepc.io\/2Hh8\/fws-yt-su As talk of a wider conflict between Europe and Russia dominates headlines, Sharan Hegde [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/kensmartips.com\/finance\/?p=2271\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Where Should Your Money Go in a Crisis?
