Safest way I believe is via your own bank. Open an account and get to understand the staff, work culture of the bank when you visit your India town locally. Then do it via them. Other non-retail banks%u2026like brokers have least regulation and so they can scam you off easily. They might even take your order and place his equivalent order, in case he feels he can make money...if he looses, he might upload it onto you; never know the various tricks. Via retail banks, you can tell them when and what to invest. Also spread across multiple stocks or funds. That will reduce your risk exposure.
