TIPBlog.in focuses on Indian stock markets. This is perhaps the first Indian blog which is dedicated to Dividend Investing. In addition to dividend investing, many articles also  discuss and provide value-based thoughts in the context of Indian stocks, businesses, and different opportunities.  It is likely that US based readers may feel that TIPBlog.in is not relevant to them.

This blog is for all US readers and do-it-yourself investors looking for personalized journey of a do-it-yourself Indian investor. It attempts to separate media hype and looks are realistic and pragmatic opportunities.
