Deepak Shenoy, founder and CEO of Capitalmind Financial Services, wants to play the cricket ball with a straight bat. If the ball comes on the off stump, he wants to play the cover drive and if the ball is on the leg, he prefers a flick. He believes that if one plays by the book, over time, they will make money.
Shenoy admits there are more entertaining ways to make money in the markets or runs in cricket.
"Surya Kumar Yadav hits leg-side balls on the off-side and makes a lot of runs. Dravid plays by the book and also scores centuries. We (Capitalmind) use quantitative strategies and want to play by the book," he explains.
