Will the Indian Stock Market Crash in 2026? | Aashish Somaiyaa | Sanjay Kathuria Podcast EP27

In this episode of the Sanjay Kathuria Podcast, we host Ashish Somaiya, Equity Partner, Executive Director & CEO of WhiteOak Capital Group, one of India’s fastest-growing asset management firms. With 25+ years of experience in the Indian asset management industry, Ashish has played a pivotal role in building and managing ₹8,500+ Crores of AUM across market cycles.

Before WhiteOak Capital, he served as MD & CEO of Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company for nearly eight years. An engineer by qualification from Pune University and a finance postgraduate from NMIMS, Ashish is widely respected for his process-driven, long-term investing philosophy, focusing on fundamentals rather than short-term market noise.

In this deep-dive conversation, he breaks down why markets gave zero returns in 2025, whether gold & silver can continue their rally, how to build a strong portfolio, and answers the big questions every investor is asking — Will Nifty touch 4 lakhs? Is Parag Parikh still a good fund? Should retail investors do sector rotation or IPO investing?

This episode is a must-watch masterclass for serious investors looking to build wealth sensibly in 2026 and beyond.
