Did Anand Mahindra Say Stock Market Trading Should Be Taught In Schools?

The quote purportedly contains some "life changing advice" from Anand Mahindra.

Anand Mahindra, one of the most Twitter-savvy businessmen today, has harnessed the power of social media to reach millions of people. However, there is a drawback to social media too, as the 66-year-old found when he came across a post with a quote wrongly attributed to him. According to the post, Mr Mahindra said stock market trading should be taught in schools. Mr Mahindra said he was "flattered" to be seen as someone whose words were worthy enough to be quoted, but that the popular quote, which has been widely shared online, is not actually his.  I'm flattered that some believe my statements are quotable & I've always believed in the power of social media to democratise information & share knowledge. But the downside is wrongly attributed quotes! I'll do my best to call them out whenever possible… pic.twitter.com/2D3XrD4GpH Love it. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/P0LJDhU9fj 😀 https://t.co/bPrOkHUXR6 A great initiative and step - a lot of so called quotes are spread over social media. The quote purportedly contains some "life changing advice" from Anand Mahindra. "Anand Mahindra recently said in a speech 'Stock market trading should be made compulsory in middle school education'," it reads.  "I'm flattered that some believe my statements are quotable and I've always believed in the power of social media to democratise information and share knowledge," wrote Anand Mahindra while sharing the quote last night. "But the downside is wrongly attributed quotes! I'll do my best to call them out whenever possible..." he added.
