Ravi Shah shares how the Great Investments Programme has shaped his investing journey, from learning stock selection to accessing global investment opportunities and receiving personalised mentorship from Alpesh Patel OBE.


For many investors, learning to identify opportunities in the stock market is only one part of the journey. Having access to structured education, research resources and ongoing guidance can also play an important role in developing an investment approach.

For Ravi Shah, the Great Investments Programme (GIP) has been a rewarding experience, combining stock-picking education, access to a global stock list and direct mentorship from Alpesh Patel OBE.

In his own words, Ravi describes his experience, the resources he has found valuable and the support he has received throughout his time in the programme.


A Profitable Start To His Investing Journey

Ravi opens his testimonial by reflecting on the progress he has made since joining the programme. He describes his experience as both rewarding and financially encouraging.

"The Great Investment Programme has been a wonderful journey for me so far. I've become highly profitable in such a short period of time."

For Ravi, the programme has been a positive experience in a relatively short period. His comments highlight the progress he feels he has made and the value he places on his participation.

Investment returns, however, vary from person to person and depend on market conditions, investment decisions and individual circumstances. Ravi's experience is his own and should not be taken as an indication of the returns other members may achieve.

Learning The Art Of Stock Picking

A key part of Ravi's experience has been the education provided through the Great Investments Programme. Understanding how to identify and evaluate stocks is an important part of developing an informed investment approach.

Ravi specifically highlights the stock-picking education and the research resources available to programme members.

"Alpesh provides great education on stock picking. You have access to his own approved stock list, which is about 8,000 global stocks, and also his own private Telegram channel."

Access to a global stock list gives members a broad universe of companies to research across different markets and sectors. For investors seeking to develop their own understanding of stock selection, learning how to assess companies and consider investment opportunities can be an important part of the process.

The programme's private Telegram channel also provides an additional avenue for members to access investment-related updates and educational content.

The value of these resources lies not simply in having access to a list of stocks, but in developing the knowledge to understand the opportunities and risks associated with individual investments.

The Value Of Having A Personal Mentor

While educational resources and research tools have been important to Ravi, he identifies personal mentorship as the most valuable aspect of his experience.

Having someone to turn to for guidance, ask questions and discuss investing concerns can make a difference to an investor's learning journey. Ravi particularly appreciates the direct access and personalised support he receives from Alpesh.

"The greatest gift for me is having Alpesh, the main man himself, as my mentor."

He goes on to explain how that mentorship translates into practical, ongoing communication and individual attention.

"He's always supportive, whether it's by WhatsApp messages, emails, or even personalised Zoom calls."

Ravi's comments highlight the importance he places on having access to a mentor beyond formal educational sessions. The ability to communicate through different channels and have personalised Zoom calls is an aspect of the programme that he particularly values.

For investors who are still developing their knowledge, being able to raise questions and seek guidance can form an important part of the learning process. Mentorship can help members think through their decisions, although investment decisions and responsibility for them ultimately remain with each individual.

Why Ravi Recommends The Great Investments Programme

Reflecting on his overall experience, Ravi expresses his appreciation for Alpesh's support and the education he has received.

"He's simply the best. I'd highly recommend Alpesh to anyone that's looking to invest."

His recommendation brings together the elements he has highlighted throughout his testimonial: stock-picking education, access to a broad global stock list, a private Telegram channel and, above all, personalised mentorship.

For Ravi, the programme has been more than access to investment resources. It has been a learning experience supported by direct engagement with a mentor.
