10 Reasons Mother Sparsh has the best baby wash for sensitive skin

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 29, 2020 12

Mother Sparsh Baby wash is “as gentle as a mother’s touch. Who doesn’t like kissing and cuddling babies? Their skin is soft, smooth, and has the typical baby feel to it. But why is baby skincare so important?

As times pass, the baby’s skin improves in immunity but with less softness smoothness. As a mother, you can keep the softness and smoothness by using baby-friendly natural products. The Outermost layer of skin that is the stratum corneum is 30% thinner in infants than adults. The epidermis and dermis are also not tightly bound. This makes babies lose moisture or absorb toxins and germs through their skin.

Good baby skincare will preserve skin integrity, avoiding risk factors for infection and injuries. It also keeps baby’s skin soft and smooth. Using the right kind of baby product helps you protect your baby’s skin, with confidence.

Water or Baby Wash?

10 Reasons Mother Sparsh plant-powered baby wash is the best Natural baby wash for sensitive Baby skin

1. It uses certified organic ingredients. Its Plant powered and enriched the goodness of plant oils.

2. It uses a natural preservative and a natural fragrance orange oil.

3. It effectively uses mild surfactant to clean skin without drying it down and harming skin barrier. Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is a coconut-derived cleanser. It’s gentle and produced from coconut fatty acids. It has a mild foaming action, is hypoallergic and cleanses without stripping natural oils.

4. Contains a mix of emollients which improves skin barrier

5. It cleans poop, urine, and food residues without disturbing the skin pH. An effective skin barrier with an optimal pH is essential for useful barrier function. That’s why the baby wash product must be pH balanced. Mother Sparsh has food-grade Citric acid as a pH adjuster.

6. Mother’s Sparsh natural Baby wash’ is PH buffered. This helps preserve the natural skin barrier colony of microbes and immunity

7. It contains no silicone parabens, dyes, phthalate, formaldehyde PEG, SLS/SLES or harsh chemicals

8. The plant extracts used are nontoxic and are tear-free.

9. Mother Sparsh is readily available online.

10. It’s pocket friendly.

Mother Sparsh has the perfect organic baby wash. It’s enriched with Coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, calendula oil, grape seed extract, chamomile oil. Orange oil makes its fragrance natural, and aloe vera extract make this Plant powered in the real sense. Its tear-free making the child is happy, and the mother is content.

Proper skincare means the baby has a happy, healthy skin. Whatever we put on a baby’s skin should also avoid any allergic reaction. During the first year of life, the most common skin disease is diaper nappy rash dermatitis, infections, atopic dermatitis (AD). AD occurs due to an interaction between environment and genetics. This is where the baby wash product has a significant role to play.

Harsh chemicals lower the protective skin barrier causing breakdown. Atopic dermatitis is then triggered in susceptible infants. That’s why baby washes need to have a pH of around 5.5. Plain water is often not PH buffered and doesn’t remove poop and sebum the way mild cleansers do.

10 reasons Mother Sparsh is the best Natural Baby Body Wash

What about baby #Bathtime?????

Baby bathtime is a beautiful way for mommy and baby to bond. Enjoy these special moments, with safety—a few things to remember during your daily #tubtime.

A daily #bathing or not? Depends on the external environment and the baby’s condition

Always prepare a #relaxingbath in a warm room. The room temperature feels just uncomfortable for the caregiver. Water temperature at 37 degrees Celsius is perfect for #bath.

Have a shallow #bathtub, and never leave the baby alone in it.

Keep all your bathing products, warm towels within reach.

Take care of your hand nails. They should always be cut, buffed. Avoid wearing any bangles, earrings, necklaces, or ring, during bath time. These can abrade the baby’s skin.

Use plain water while cleaning the face. Be careful and avoid water entry in the ears. Use a ball of thick cotton wool covered in Vaseline to occlude ear canal and prevent water entry.

While cleaning the genital areas, for little girls, clean front to back and never the other way. The poop area needs to be washed separately. For boys, never use force to pull back the foreskin.

After washing with the Mother Sparsh Plant-based baby wash, rinse till the baby is soap-free.

Wrap dry in a warm, soft cotton towel/cloth. After the baby is dried, apply baby lotion keeping baby warm in your lap and wrapped up in a dry cloth. Apply baby lotion within a few minutes of a warm bath for best absorption. Enjoy bath times, and your baby will enjoy it too.

The baby’s skin has several essential functions like:

• Prevention of infection-It is the first line of defense from outside germs

• Reduce the penetration of allergens, toxins, and irritants

• Maintenance of stable skin water content level

It’s not easy to get quality baby skincare products. Mothers want products that keeps the promise of taking care of their babies. The skin is the largest organ of our body, and skin health is a good reflection of your baby’s health. In babies, their skin barrier function is still developing and is weaker than adults. The infant’s skin is different from adult skin. They absorb water and toxins through the skin more quickly than adults. Also, their drug metabolism and toxin removal system are weaker, so they are more prone to toxicity. All substances used in baby skincare needs careful vetting. It’s essential to choose the products we use with care.

But it’s also challenging to separate the grain from the chaff. That’s why I use a natural baby wash that has certified organic products. A Made in India brand like Mother Sparsh, which always has a full ingredient list and uses certified organic ingredients, is the kind that has my vote.

Important Note:

Products that cause hormone disruption include PABA (octyl dimethyl para-aminobenzoic acid) MBC( 4 Methyl benzylidene camphor) octyl methoxycinnamate all show estrogenicity . Essential oils in products are not recommended for use in babies younger than three months. This product contains grape seed oil, calendula oil, orange oil, and chamomile oil.

White Hat JR Live online Coding for kids: Is it worth it? #Causeachatter

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 28, 2020 11

My daughter and I have been trying to learn coding together for some time. We tried two online coding classes.

I first tried the Avishkar India platform. I wrote about it later in the post. Then I found White Hat jr,cute name, right?

Featured post

How is the Health of the Nation: The report is an eye-opener!

My journey with White Hat Junior

White Hat jr is giving away free introductory classes. They do a lot of advertising with a free class for grabs. This one is a great marketing plan to get people enrolled. You don’t need a credit card to join. We had a lovely teacher and a fun time.

Video review of White Hat Jr

After the introductory level, they sent a report with many complimentary words. COVID season means you want children to enjoy something new. That’s what I thought too. I signed up first for eight classes and then again 8 classes—a total of 16 sessions over 16 weeks or 4 months.

But now we are taking a break and waiting for the certificate we were promised after each level of class.

Also, I heard they offer a certificate, once after the first class, then after 8 sessions, again only after 48 lessons. Not explained anywhere. I found out after inquiry for the certificate after 16 experiences.

Approximate price for classes: they have varying discounts at different times, so the price may not match.

8 Classes -Rs6299

44 Classes -Rs35999

144 classes -Rs107999

I opted for two sets of 8 classses according to the curriculum.

What do you need for White Hat Jr class?

A laptop

High speed internet connection

The pros of White Hat Jr

The platform is innovative,designed with an eye to what kids will love.

The teacher we had was well experienced, encouraging the Child and making her enjoy classes.

We loved the homework after each assignment.

We loved the hats they award for punctuality, etc.

We loved the dashboard showing how far they have come.

Homework is checked by the teacher and the feedback provided.
Easily choose dates and time slots to set up your classes and choose your teachers.

In the first few classes, I had to supervise her and help,when she did her homework. After 4 classes, she did it by herself. My daughter definitely enjoys some version of coding now! Whether its useful, in the real world, is something I will only know later.

They have several competitions for coders. Most of the time, anyone can participate, you don’t need to pay. But you have to create an account. That is, a parent has to.

What I didn’t like-Cons of Whitehat Jr

If the Whitehat jr faces server issues, they will not compensate the time lost.
They encourage Facebook and WhatsApp sharing of competition, results, certificates, and the shares count towards children winning.

Now Facebook is not a children’s platform, so you have to do social sharing. Again much like online gaming. Then again, the winners are given points according to their score plus social shares. So results are not entirely merit-based.

Update 04/07/2020: I found that for the current championship going on, they have changed rules.It includes two categories of winners.Only merit based and another based on merit plus social shares.Definitely works better on multiple levels.

The hackathon however is open to VIP members only.

How to reschedule or cancel classes?

This something you will find out when you actually cancel a class. I will make it easy . You forfeit the class. If it is less than 24 hours notice. Not explained by the people who call you up to get you on board. Lack of transparency is a big problem. They go on about visiting Silicon valley though.

If the teacher is running late, no one will inform you about it. I had to phone the teacher and find out. If you call the helpline, no one knows anything, and you end up talking to at least 3 people who will tell you they will call back. They don’t.

They have relationship managers and someone who will call you up when your subscription is due. But no real help otherwise.

The dashboard showing scores of other students has a look of online gaming to it. It makes kids obsess about the next class and their rating. Not really needed.

I was told by a representative that the certificate doesn’t matter because your child is learning something.I was very clear about this.If I am paying a premium price, the lessons, learning, and certificate plus service all matter.

Very steeply-priced with no sure shot benefit. I was told about a scholarship my daughter won after she finished 8 classes. This could only be redeemed if I booked her for the full 144 classes. That was almost a lakh! It didn’t make sense.

The hard sell about chance if a visit to silicon valley etc, and show you the dream. But that happens after you spend around a lakh. You have no real idea about what they are teaching because they provide end goals and rough lesson plans.

All classes are game-based and don’t teach coding independent of the White Hat Jr platform. Not helpful in the real-world then. It is not a customized teaching plan and has nothing to do with actually teaching kids to code on open-source platform.No obvious study material or
knowledge bank is shared, for further self-learning.

Will the child learns to code independently after 16 classses ?Not really.

Takeaway

Your money and your decision. But the dream about selling an internet bubble to kids’ parents is not a long term good marketing plan.

Bad service.
Good teachers.
I am still looking for the right platforms for coding for kids. Not into buying fake dreams, though.

My daughter finally got her certificate in August.

I heard about Byjus buying out White hat and the current TV ad made me cringe with dismay. Coding just became a recipe for parents buying into the one-app-millionaire dream!

Did you now Byjus has offline tuition classes and coaching for NEET ?Homework is checked by the teacher and the feedback provided. Easily choose dates and time slots to set up your classes and choose your teachers or academic writing services online for other work related to academic writing.

Review of my experience with Avishkar India coding

The first platform for live online coding for kids was the Avishkar India platform.Not customized for new coders and beginners. I attended a series of paid webinars. Not very useful for my daughter’s age. We had 3/4classes (forgot the number). Not useful as kids of different ages and levels were together. Imagine trying to teach in a classroom with age group 7 to 15yrs. Who learns what?

Still looking for coding that works in real life.Let me know, if you find one.

We are using several other resources. Will update as things get clearer. The Google Summer Camp 2020 was fun though.

10 Reasons Why I Publish #WhyIPublish #Ingramspark

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 26, 2020 3

When #Ingramspark asked writers to write on #whyIpublish, I knew this is a topic I never shared.

I have been writing since 2014. Before that, I wrote only prescriptions. Writing, blogging all this, was not a part of my dream growing up. I liked to draw and once got a prize for the only poetry I wrote in school. It was in Moral science class, and I can honestly say, I have no memory of what I wrote.

But now I know why I write. It calms the incessant chattering in my brain. Don’t worry, the chatter is not something scary. The chatter is the thoughts, stories, ideas that help me write every day when I have no time to wait for the elusive muse. I even wrote a book about How to walk, write, garden, your way to a healthy life.

But publishing?

What exactly is publishing?

When you make your writing or creative content available for people to read online offline for free or paid in any form, that’s sort of publishing

So #WhyIpublish is a post I need to write, right?

10 Reasons #WhyIpublish

#1 If I wrote just for me, I would not publish. I started publishing because it was a way to give back. Maybe make a difference without the constraint of time-space, geographies. Share what I know and experience both personal and professional life.

Many teachers helped me reach where I am today. Circumstances often challenge even the faint-hearted. Online publishing allows me to help more people every day than I could do in person. A salute to the world wide web and the creators who made it available to the world.

#2 Fight misinformation and disinformation

In Seth Godin’s This is marketing, he talks about why it’s important to share real stories and market it well. Because if I don’t, someone with misinformation is causing chaos. To share the truth as I know it, from my experience and expertise, is the driving force that keeps me publishing. It’s an ethical obligation that I must share awareness about the right information. Sometimes even one lone voice of dissent is all it takes to make a difference. Other times it may not be enough. My goal is to try. What happens is destiny.

Karma, that’s what Krishna says too in Geeta.

The meaning of Karma is in the intention. The intention behind the action is what matters.
Lord Krishn quote

#3 Education is the greatest gift of all

In the Corona times, education and health are the biggest losers. A whole generation of kids and young adults are now studying online. When I share what I know, I am educating. That’s another reason I started.

#4 My laptop is my publishing friend

Self-publishing has broken barriers, and in COVID times, it shows a strange power. Even when every other industry is adapting. Online self-publishing goes on. I write, publish, share on social media this part of my life is unchanged in all this drama.

Every other part is now unrecognizable, but desktop publishing found new wings.

#5 It helped me earn in many ways—none of which I had any idea about before I started. So getting started is half the battle won. Self-publishing has given me the confidence to try more new things as an early adapter. I realized I like trying stuff if it’s creative and makes a difference to someone like me.

#6 I am doing this for my daughter.

My daughter is young, and she enjoys playing, drawing, crafting, reading, and writing. Every day she makes up new stories, songs, and poems to tell me. I want her to one day know I wrote too. I want to one day write stories that she will read! I want her to find little bits of me in everything I am writing, and she will find them one day.

#7 It gives me a sense of purpose in these trying times.

That I wrote even during COVID2020 when the world was falling to its knees. When things look gloomy, and it seems there’s no end to the Corona misery, writing and publishing help me. Staying hopeful and keeping the thread of sanity clutched firmly in my hands. The turmoil of 2020 is tolerable because of what I do with the words on my screen.

# 8 It’s my chance of recording what’s happening in our times. 2020 is going to be etched in stone in everyone’s memory in different ways. Publishing allows me to share my version of it.

#9 It helps me stay focussed on getting better. Writing is a journey. It’s done in solitude but on publishing , it’s shared with everyone.

#10 Then there’s one more reason. It makes me happy. That is my rocket fuel. Who doesn’t like feeling happy? In Corona times, thats the stuff which boosts endorphins, and you can never have too much of that.

Depression, not a stigma (But this is what you must know)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 16, 2020 28

Why does talking about depression in our society, is still a stigma? From my personal knowledge and professional experience, I have seen discussion about any disease with random people, often makes it worse. Sounds weird, but your mindset has a lot to do with your cure.

You should talk about it, but with the right people. Discussing with the right people means you will get help and feel better. If talking to someone makes you feel worse, then that person is not the right help.

Featured post

How is the Health of the Nation: The report is an eye-opener!

Talking about depression is still a stigma because many have faced the worsening of symptoms after talking to the wrong people.It’s difficult to talk about it because it makes us sad.Its difficult to talk about it because people are scared. It’s difficult to know who is right and who is wrong. So when in doubt talk to someone you trust. Simple rule. If you follow it, you will avoid needless stress about many things.

There’s a reason doctors have doctor-patient confidentiality. Medical conditions need understanding. Both the medical part of the disease and the psychological part of the person.Because it’s the second part which rules almost all diseases. I have seen depression from very close up. You can say I had a ringside view of it. What I saw, I hated. It was also something which changed my life. Since the events involve real people and their privacy I will just tell you how it affected me. As a child I got to know this word from the age I was six.

I knew I wanted to be a doctor and cure it. When I was doing my MBBS I knew the cure for depression like most diseases is a balance of multiple factors. A big one being genetics and environment. Mental diseases have a strong genetic component and can be expressed in various ways. So if you have a family history, you must take care. The genetics is not in control. The good news is a good environment will help in many cases. Smoking, alcoholism, substance abuse, abusive relationship, excessive work stress, sleeplessness, diseases, can all precipitate depression, in a genetically susceptible person.

The spectrum of depression: Ringside view

Saw a close family member suffering.
Two of my friends committed suicide one during our final exams and the second one afterward.
Both of them were brilliant and good students. Quiet but never appeared to be suffering.
Two cousins suffered.
I struggled with mood swings when I shifted to a new place with a new job and a ten-month-old baby. For me writing, walking and gardening helped. My husband was extraordinarily supportive and nonjudgemental. I fought it, survived and promised to never let self-pity, disillusionment push me over. Its a choice you have to make every day when you get up in the morning.

All the experiences showed me the spectrum this word covers. If I didn’t go through that time I would lack the insight. One thing I can tell you, the struggle is real. The medicines will help. Your family will support you. But your mind and soul have to do the hard work.

I am a doctor and I avoid talking casually about it. Because the word is serious. If you focus on it, the thing grows and can swamp you. Clinical diagnosis of depression is a serious issue and the word should be used carefully. Since its a neurotic disease, you retain insight. In the early stages, you can still think and ask for help.

What is Clinical depression? (Source reference)

Depression is also known as a major depressive disorder or clinical depression. It is a common condition. It’s also a serious mood disorder affecting the quality of life. It affects how you feel, think, act, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. You may consider seeking help if you have any of these symptoms for most of the day, almost every day, for at least two weeks: (Source reference)

Persistent feeling of morbidity, sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, pessimism or “empty” mood
Easily irritated
Excessive feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
Unexpected disinterest in pleasurable activities and hobbies.
Easily fatigued
Moving or talking more slowly an with disinterest.
Feeling restless or having trouble sitting still
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
Appetite and/or weight changes
Suicidal thoughts and attempts. A failed attempt is often a cry for help.
Undiagnosed multiple aches.Multiple problems with no definite cause being found.

I have only one piece of advice to give. When you think you need to talk to someone you must get help. Professional help. Talking to a supportive partner or parent is great. But random discussions with all and sundry will make matters worse. The world rarely understands. That expectation of understanding and the feeling of betrayal makes things worse. But more importantly, your brain may be giving you signal for something wrong with your body. Depression will affect how you think, sleep, work and feel about yourself.

Talking about Depression

Ask for help early
Get the right help.
May include treatment of an underlying medical condition
Medicines and long-term psychological therapy
Exercise
Creative Hobbies are important
Gardening improves mental health

You may or may not agree, but talking to the right people will help. Must get help early wherever you are. It’s not easy but don’t make it harder. Comment below to let me know your thoughts about this important issue.

The 10 Most Effective Tips for Unlockdown India

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 11, 2020 14

Prevention is the best policy when it comes to getting the better of COVID troubles. When India’s Unlockdown is starting slowly, offices, shops restaurants are opening. You must go to work, stay safe, and do your part to sustain economic growth. But wait. Do you know the right precautions to take?

Featured post

How is the Health of the Nation: The report is an eye-opener!

The day when liquor shops were open, Indians showed where the economy really stands. The serpentine queues in front of shops selling nonessential, C2H5OH inspired memes, jokes, and constant updates by News channel.

We were bingeing on the news then. Hoping for a miracle. Men showed us the miracle. People were queuing up at those liquor stores. The mismatch of the pictures shown made me wonder. It was sad. A man said

“I am buying for a friend.”

Another refused to take off the helmet to avoid identity being revealed. Classic case seen on a TV channel when asked why he was buying alcohol said,

“What to do, I am a drunkard,I need a drink!

Unloockdown India:Effective Tips for safety

The 10 Most Effective Tips for Unlock down

1 ) Social distancing is a myth if you are using public transport if you are going out for work. Plastic or plexiglass dividers will work only when they are cleaned with every change of passengers.So stay alert and don’t touch those partitions.

2)Wearing a mask covering the nose and mouth and not for hanging below the chin. Don’t reuse disposable masks. Use clothes mask if you are not a healthcare worker and wash them thoroughly with soap and water.

3)Handwashing with soap and water works best, otherwise use a sanitizer with at least 60-70% alcohol content.

4)Wear gloves, disposable or made of clothes. The thing is, don’t touch your nose, mouth, eyes, or face.

5)Sneeze while turning your mouth in the crook of your elbow.

6)Definitely maintain social distancing at your workplace. Skip the chai pe chit chat. Six feet of distance is a must for safety.

7)According to an update in the CDC, the virus seems to be mostly transmitted through direct contact. Less often through surfaces. But the risk remains. That means, in crowded places where there’s central AC and limited recycling of air ,its a big problem. Shopping malls, restaurants, pubs, movie halls, gyms are not the right place to visit now. Remember, the duration of exposure to the virus and the viral load are both important for infection.

How are they sanitizing these places? Is it possible to ensure that they are sanitizing adequately after every footfall? Unlikely.

Is it open air? Cold air settles down and warm air rises. So, the colder a crowded room is, the higher the risk.

8)Government and private offices have introduced shift duties, alternate day rosters, separate transportation. Work from home options continues for all those who are not required to visit the office daily. These are all required, but proper sanitization of theses places, proper ventilation has to be ensured.

The main problem is it’s hot in most places in India. In sweltering summer, wearing gloves and masks is close to torture. Plus, no Air conditioner, sparse public transport can all be grueling. But you have to do what you need to do.

What happens is God’s will.

9)Avoid talking on the phone or using a phone when traveling outside for work. It’s difficult to thoroughly sanitize electronic items.

10)Stay positive, eat healthy, exercise, and don’t forget your beauty sleep to get those immune cells working well.

Conclusion

Social distancing, mask usage, wearing gloves, hand washing cannot be stressed enough.

Skip nonessential shopping.

If you are getting outside food, you need to. Microwave it for atleast 60 seconds to ensure germ-free status. Other issues with microwaving food can’t be discussed if you are ordering a takeaway.

Shop locally as far as possible.

Whether you want your house help or not, is a decision best taken depending on your comfort level. Right now, we are still going the Aatmanirbhar Bharat way.

What’s happening with the Franklin Templeton Debt Fund Mystery? #Update

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 9, 2020 0

Franklin Templeton was having trouble with six of its debt funds. Then these six debt funds were wound up in April 2020. Many investors are worried about what’s going to happen with their money. I wrote a post about it you can read it here.

Franklin Templeton has 25 years history of working in India. They understand that if they don’t work through this, and get back the investor confidence, then there’s going to be a problem. Trust is the most significant equity when it comes to any business.

That’s why they are trying to move quickly to resolve this issue as soon as possible. As a first step, Franklin Templeton announced an E-voting for the unitholders and a virtual meeting. The voting was to commence from June 9th to June 11th and unitholders virtual meeting on 12th June 2020

But twist in the story.

The Gujrat high court in an order dated 8th June has suspended voting and any action forward until the next hearing scheduled for June 11th.

According to SEBI guidelines, the Unitholders need to vote before funds can be formally wound up. The majority vote decides the next course of action. In case there is no majority, the trustees then take it forward.

The question here is, what now?

The courts are involved, so we must wait and see.

With so many financial troubles everywhere, something like this is making investors jittery. Why do things like this happen, and how can we protect ourselves?

I like reading Jagoinvestor, money control, and valueresearchonline when it comes to many financial decisions. But at the end of the day, it’s my money and my risk. So, when you invest, it’s your money, take care to read all offer documents carefully. Check whether there are troubled bonds or shares from companies who are not doing well.

I am not into short term investing at all, so that’s for experts to discuss. But when it comes to long term investing, I check the funds and always prefer direct funds over anything else. Don’t ask me why it’s just me, I guess!

Now, what happens when the process of e-voting starts?

In a briefing by the President of Franklin Templeton, Mr.Sanjay Sapre, it was clarified, that the link for joining this e-voting will be sent to the unitholder’s registered email ID. In case you haven’t informed Franklin Templeton about your registered email ID. It will be sent to your registered mobile number. If you want to register your email ID with Franklin Templeton(that’s where most of the information will be sent), you can do that.

This video was made before the Gujrat high court stay order

You should check their website for further updates. Once the voting process is over, Franklin Templeton will be going forward with the active monetization of these debt funds. That will start the process of giving back investors their money.

Until the voting is completed, the next course of action cannot be taken. The first phase of returning money to the investor should start four to six weeks from that time. According to SEBI regulations, until the E-voting by the unitholders is done, the active monetization for getting back the money of the investors is delayed. But between that and getting the money is a long road for investors.

Until then, the funds are locked in.

When Sanjay Sapre,President of Franklin Templeton was asked the lesson that Franklin Templeton learned,

He said they planned to make the process more transparent.

The upside of all this is now the fund houses are working round the clock to fix the problems inherent in high credit risk funds. Especially the short and ultra-short duration funds seem to fall in the no man’s land. The credit quality specifications for many debt category funds seem to be a grey area where no one is shedding light.

3 things I want as an Investor going forward

I want more transparency about where the money is being invested

I want to know who the big investors in a fund are?

What is their redemption pattern?

If SEBI doesn’t step up with more checks and balances, there’s no turning back.

I am not an expert on financial asset management. This is an opinion piece. I am not a qualified Financial Advisor and this is not to be taken as professional financial advice. Mutual funds are subject to market risk, read all scheme-related documents carefully. All investments should be done after consultation with a financial suitable expert, according to own financial risk appetite.
