Masters’ Union, a premier tech and business school based in Gurugram’s corporate district, has announced India’s first-ever ₹40 lakh student-managed trading fund. Launched under its Postgraduate Programme in Capital Markets & Trading (PGP-CMT), the fund offers learners hands-on experience in live markets across eight asset classes, including equities, derivatives, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and regulated digital assets. The inaugural cohort begins this August.
This fund, part of the Masters’ Union Investment Fund (MUIF), allows students to apply classroom theory to real-world trading, guided by over 50 market practitioners such as hedge fund managers, portfolio strategists, and high-frequency traders. Notable mentors include Sanjiv Bhasin (ex-IIFL), Siddhartha Rastogi (Ambit), and Aman Singhania (NSE Indices).
Learners will gain practical exposure in trading, risk management, and wealth advisory—preparing them for careers as proprietary traders, analysts, and capital market professionals. The initiative also features a simulated Wealth Management Challenge for advisory experience.
“Capital market literacy is now foundational to leadership in any field,” said Pratham Mittal, Founder, Masters’ Union. “This initiative bridges the gap between academic learning and practical trading experience.”
The ₹40 lakh fund is a pedagogical tool used solely for educational purposes and does not handle any third-party capital.
