Coffee Can Investing

by Saurabh Mukherjea, Rakshit Ranjan & Pranab Uniyal

★★★★★ 4/5 · Poornadnyan rating

The big idea

Buy a small group of high-quality Indian companies with a long record of steady growth, then leave them alone for years – patience does the heavy lifting.

Read it if…

Indian investors who understand the basics and want a disciplined way to own good companies.

Skip it if…

You are just starting out – read a beginner money book first.

Key ideas in 2 minutes

  1. Look for companies that have grown steadily and earned high returns on capital for many years.
  2. Trading often usually hurts returns; holding great businesses for long periods helps.
  3. Simple, strict rules protect you from your own emotions.

Our review

One of the best investing books written for the Indian market. It explains why a handful of consistent, well-run companies can build wealth quietly over a decade.

Read it after you understand index funds, so you can judge for yourself whether picking companies suits you. As always, this is education, not advice.
