India being the most competitive country in the 21st century is exposed to several challenges in terms of transition stance on the global outlook. However, the recognition of its inherited distinctiveness and demographic profile is crafting its future progression and inculcating positivity in the financial markets and the overall economy. But despite this, in the swift transformation no wonder at times certain macroeconomic news instill shocks in the stock market send thousands of investors in the murky of investment collapse. Hence, on this focal point this paper aims to study the investors’ perspective towards selected shocks and the impact of these shocks on their investment decisions. The empirical findings of the paper shows that though stock markets are prone to various shocks but shocks in the stock markets are not all the time harmful for market instead they are part of it. The majority of investors were of the view that a number of macroeconomic news can bring positive and negative shifts in the market as well as in their investment decisions. The results of ANOVA exhibit that there exists no significant difference between the mean scores of responses of investor groups among and within age, qualification and occupation categories.
