Investment options for daughter esp. a baby girl.

Put everything in Bitcoin.

The mughals had a saying about the war for succession after a king died. "Takht ya taboot" (throne or a coffin). Live like that. XD
Bitcoin also has a similar problem. Pull the plug out of the server and you get to realise that you mined your whole life for nothing . Share markets , currencies are like gambling . When you cannot control the game , better to not get into it . A lot of new investors on the share market always have high hopes of making profits . The ones who know how to rig make the money and the small gullible lose and keep trying to recover their money by investing more .

Just buy gold . Do not trust anything else . They can crumble any day , any time . Make sure you buy physical gold and not bonds . Gold coins and bars are legally sold in banks . In case of any liquidity emergency you can pledge the gold . Gold appreciates as well .
Have to second that as someone who's been in the financial markets space for a long while. This advice is pure gold. Also - INR multi-period rolling returns of gold and stock indices are usually similar on average to gold, with gold often doing better than indices. On a risk-adjusted basis, gold is a clear winner and with physical gold, you can avoid the taxman.
