About
Fifteen years in corporate life. Fifteen years investing my own money.
I spent fifteen years in corporate roles across operations, business development and customer service. Alongside that I have been investing my own money for more than fifteen years — learning, making mistakes, and finding out what actually holds up over a full market cycle.
I am passionate about personal finance and about helping people meet their life goals and build compounding wealth. That is why I registered as an Investment Adviser with SEBI rather than becoming a distributor: so the advice I give answers to you and to nobody else.
Some of my beliefs about money
- Most people don't need more financial products — they need fewer and simpler ones.
- Personal finance is more behavioural than mathematical — keeping calm during a market storm is easier said than done. A safe allocation bucket helps you be calmer. It is the safe lifeboat in your storm.
- Systems and habits become more crucial in long-term wealth building than chasing the hottest trend.
- FOMO often leads to unnecessary risk. Sensationalism in finance has rarely turned out well.
My other passion is Triathlon and endurance sports. I've done several Ironman 70.3 triathlons and still harbour hopes for my average amateur sports career. I also love thinking about parallels between investing and endurance sports.
What you can expect from me
-
I will tell you when to do nothing
A large part of good advice is protecting a working plan from unnecessary changes.
-
You keep control of your money
Everything stays in your accounts, in your name. I never hold or move your funds.
-
Plain language, always
If a recommendation cannot be explained in a sentence you would repeat to your spouse, it is not a good recommendation.
