Teaching Financial Discipline Where Innovation Meets Education: Trading Seekho at INNOTEK 2024
INNOTEK 2024, the annual Innovation & Graduating Project Expo at Lovely Professional University (LPU), proved to be a landmark event once again — bringing together some of the most promising student innovations across engineering, technology, agriculture, management, and more. It was in this vibrant, future-focused environment that Trading Seekho had the opportunity to participate — and what a valuable experience it turned out to be.
Led by Vicky Mehta, Founder & CEO of Trading Seekho (MBA in Financial Markets from NSE Academy, 15+ NSE certifications, 24+ years market experience), our team introduced a concept not typically found in college expos: systematic financial education, risk management fundamentals, and the disciplined mindset required for informed market participation. And the response? Nothing short of eye-opening.
Why INNOTEK Was the Perfect Platform
For us at Trading Seekho, INNOTEK was more than just an event — it was an opportunity to engage directly with the next generation of working professionals, engineers, and business leaders. The multidisciplinary nature of the expo meant that we interacted with students from all academic backgrounds, each curious to understand how financial literacy could fit into their career planning.
From conversations about market analysis basics to live demonstrations of risk management principles and position sizing techniques, we witnessed firsthand how eager young minds are for practical, real-world knowledge that extends beyond theoretical textbooks.
What Trading Seekho Offered
At our interactive booth, students experienced:
✅ Introduction to systematic market analysis — Understanding how markets function beyond headlines and rumors
✅ Core concepts of risk management and trading discipline — The foundation most retail traders skip (and why 70% lose money initially)
✅ Real-world application of technical and fundamental principles — What indicators actually measure and when they fail
✅ Insights into developing analytical skills — Building confidence through structured learning, not tips or shortcuts
Many students admitted it was their first exposure to structured financial education that focused on discipline and risk management rather than “get rich quick” promises — and their genuine curiosity was evident.
“We talk about innovation and startups, but no one addresses personal financial literacy or how to approach markets systematically. This session filled a real gap,” shared one LPU engineering student.
The Bigger Picture: Why Financial Education Matters
Today’s graduates enter a world that demands smart financial decisions — yet financial literacy remains critically overlooked in formal education. According to SEBI research, approximately 7 out of 10 retail traders lose money in their first year, primarily due to lack of risk management knowledge and emotional discipline.
Trading Seekho exists to address this gap through honest, skill-focused education.
“INNOTEK gave us a platform to do more than demonstrate strategies — it allowed us to address common misconceptions and emphasize what successful market participation actually requires: patience, discipline, and systematic risk management,” explained Vicky Mehta. “That opportunity to shift mindsets from ‘quick profits’ to ‘long-term skill development’ is exactly what we value.”
By combining evidence-based education with practical frameworks, Trading Seekho helps students develop analytical thinking and disciplined decision-making habits — turning confusion and fear into informed confidence.
Building on the Momentum
This opportunity to connect with LPU’s accomplished student community has motivated us to expand our educational outreach. We’re building on the momentum from INNOTEK by offering:
- Free educational webinars on market fundamentals and risk psychology
- Structured learning programs emphasizing discipline before technical analysis
- Personalized mentorship for students ready to commit to systematic learning
- Paper trading frameworks that build confidence before capital deployment
Our goal isn’t to create traders overnight — it’s to develop analytical thinkers who understand that markets reward discipline and preparation, not luck or tips.
Looking Forward
INNOTEK 2024 was a meaningful opportunity — not just to showcase Trading Seekho’s educational philosophy, but to connect with curious minds, address misconceptions, and emphasize the importance of risk-aware thinking. We thank LPU for creating such a forward-thinking platform and look forward to future collaborations that promote financially informed, disciplined decision-making among students.
Because when students learn systematic risk management and analytical thinking, they don’t just prepare for markets — they prepare for life’s financial decisions with confidence and clarity.
