Stocks to invest

I'm a total newbie at investments, especially when it comes to the stock market (equity or mutual funds). I'm wanting to start my journey in this direction with mutual funds, so I can gradually understand the dynamics at work. I'd like to know which platform is good for a beginner to start their investment journey (with mutual funds as the starting point). I've come across multiple apps (Paytm money, upstox, growww etc.) as well as the regular bank/AMC apps. Which platform is advisable for ease and convenience, with things like ease of buying/selling, customer support, market insights and so forth?

Hello Grapeviners, Which one of them is overall good to have demat account for share investments? Asking for my younger cousin brother who is new to all these things. Please share your experiences, your inputs will be much appreciated.Thanks PS- I have been using zerodha was very much satisfied with the app ,till they change the details page for stock.Earlier it was ticker but now it is Tijori which is much harder to navigate the details as UI is not that good as earlier in Ticker.

Although I have a history trading in crypto and stocks. (loosing 8k at the covid time of bitcoin crash and without any prior knowlege of trading 🥲). Now I want to learn a new skill and distracting myself from the virtual world. So, I thought to give a try on trading again but this time with some knowledge. So, whats best crypto, stocks, Mutual fund, gold, etc?? and don't suggest real state I already invested in it 😉. and whats the best way to learn it? I tried searching some youtube channels but mostly feels like scam marketing some penny stocks for there pump and dump scheme. and whats the best platform to invest? I have an account of upstox with only 1k invested which is now 1.8k 🫣. but don't like upstox much there UI itself looks like a scam to me.
