Why Sector Picking Is the Next Big Skill for Investors
Every investor dreams of growing portfolios faster than in the market. However, how do top performers perform it?
They do not just pick stocks; they identify the right sectors before the rest of the market.
Sectors move in cycles, and if they can catch the right one early, the chances of outperforming the market grow exponentially
This is why the Smart Disha Academy, under the guidance of Dr. Subhransu Sekhar Jena hosts a first-of-its-kind Sector Identification Competitionto help learners develop the mindset and tools used by the top 10% of investors
What Is a Sector?

- Energy – Oil & gas, renewables, electric utilities
Understanding which sectors are on the rise is like knowing which road will lead to success before traffic even begins

In 2025, tech, energy, and healthcare are among the top contenders for strong returns due to innovation, government support, and rising demand
Identifying the next performing sector (Dr. Jena’s Method)
