After the Budget - Founder to his Team in full excitement..!
Founder:

Nirmala ma'am has left a loophole to exploit and save all the income tax..!

Yes.. we can reset everyone's salary to 7 lac and we don't have to pay any tax..!!
Saturday Afternoon..!
Red Light is on - traffic is on halt.
Bike Rider jumps right out of Dhoom-2, navigating the small gaps between the cars in a high speed chase (in his own little head)
Boom..!! - crashes against the side mirror of my car.
Music Stops - chase Stops
Have you ever been deep in meditation - sensed the blissfulness and then when you wake up in the physical plane, you yearn to get back to the blissfulness state again.
Building StockGro feels exactly like that meditation.
Everything else is like a distraction.
1/ From spending half a month on flights to leaving home only for essentials in the lockdown, I'd perhaps forgotten how to travel.
So an adventure unfolded when a beloved investor invited me to Abu Dhabi for a Founder's meet.
I want to share a simple yet very profound experience with you today.
Think about this – when you squeeze an orange, what comes out?
Orange juice, right?
Why - Because that's what's inside.
Now, think of ourselves in stressful situations - when life squeezes us.
What comes
We often take pride in getting back at someone.
And we love to boast about it - it becomes a conversation point, our achievement that we adorn on our chest as a medal of honour.
"He did this to me, and I got back at him."
"I took my revenge."
📢The FM, in her recent announcement, proposed to withdraw such outstanding direct tax demands up to ₹25,000 pertaining to the period up to FY 2009-10 and up to ₹10,000 for financial years 2010-11 to 2014-15.

There is a new wave of Flu which is now hitting the nation.

So we all laugh at different situations, kisine joke crack kiya, kuch funny dekha, or kabhi kabhi toh we laugh at ourselves.😂
But how many times do we laugh khulke, like how kids laugh, without thinking what the other person might think, or where we are.

to introduce in college curriculum.
Start early, take up internships during college, initiate new projects.
Acquire experience by doing. Not only to have it on your Resume but to learn what is not being taught.
Startups are now poised to disrupt the Stock Market, quite literally. When I started my investment journey, tech startups did not find their exit path to IPO in Indian Stock Markets.
Tables have turned now. Signal to the tech world - India is now open for Business.
On a serious note:
Salute to the real heroes of Bangalore..!!

IMO, now is a good time to teach young folks, among other things, about the importance of saving money, and not discount emergencies, while making a personal financial plan.
Team members at StockGro have pledged their one month's salaries for helping with India's Covid situation.
We know it's nothing in front of what millions are doing. But here's hoping our small gesture to support Covid patients can make a difference.
1/ This month marks two years since we launched our app.
We have acquired more than 15 MILLION users on the platform since then.
With only a team of 42 people!
Here is how we work and how we did it:
Risk tasking should be taught as a subject in school from an early age.
So many of us require decades before we learn anything about assessing risks and deciding when to take risks and when not to.
Financial Independence for Women will not just come from working and earning.
Women need to take rein of their own investments.

Canva took about 6 years to become a unicorn, while Mensa Brands took 6 months.
Each startup’s journey & story is different. Don’t compare, take inspiration instead!
Spending money on health, fitness, books, hobbies & family activities is also an investment - which goes a long way in keeping your mental & physical health in good shape.
Looking at social media and thinking how "tough times don't last but tough people, do". 🙏
Massive respect for all those who are using all they have to help each other.
As of October 2021,
Number of Unicorns in India: 70 (32 new in 2021)
Number of Unicorns in the US: 439 (194 new in 2021)
There is an addition of about 44% new Unicorns in India and the US both, in 2021.
You need to give in the time to understand the market and the trends to successfully invest. As they say, there's no such thing as free meals. Especially in Investing.
FMCG conglomerate DABUR was founded in 1884. In 137 years, it has become one of the biggest in the country with a revenue of 9000 Crs in 2020 & its current market cap is 1.06 Lakh Crore.
Zomato, an internet startup founded in 2008, now has a market cap of almost equal to Dabur.

Young parents today have a huge responsibility of early introduction of Financial education for their kids.
What we learnt very late, shouldn’t be so for the next generation.
It is easier to converse freely with someone who has no preconceived notions about you, and this has made online communities easier for us all to feel comfortable in. It levels the field for all.
A lot of us are privileged enough to afford the medicines and care required in these times. A lot of others aren't. So, if you can, and if you want, do think about donating to someone who really needs some monetary help.
Your little donation can go a long way for them.
Driver and I get down from the car to halt the Biker.
Out of the mighty helmet comes out the timid guy..!!
Am still expecting a roaring voice - 'Who dared stop the chase'
When the biker squeaks - 'I am very stressed'

Investors should Buy more Equity and Founders should raise less Capital..

Still remains one of the best quotes in Investing:
“Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections than lost in the corrections themselves.” - Peter Lynch
Our education system not teaching us investment as a subject sure taught us that we don't have to rely only on the system to learn. There are countless people with real-life experience who can be great teachers.
39/ The adventure did not end here. We got ready and reached the meeting venue at 1 pm sharp. What happened in the meeting, and did we bag another investment? To be continued in the following thread.

Driver to the biker - Now you will have to pay fine for carrying passenger without helmet too.
Biker gets astounded at the turn of event and follows the cops instruction to park on the other side of the crossing.
God Bless

Another big day for Indian startups, with Nykaa getting listed on the Indian stock markets and Falguni Nayar becoming a billionaire.
We're going to remember 2021 as one of the most important years in the history of Indian startups.
I almost assumed that he will ask us for money to pause the dramatic sequence of breaking traffic signal he had planned in his head.
But he did not speak English and I did not speak Kannada..!!

“The best way to measure your investing success is not by whether you’re beating the market but by whether you’ve put in place a financial plan and a behavioral discipline that are likely to get you where you want to go.” - Benjamin Graham
I have learned that it is essential to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Because if you don’t disturb the balance, you will fall off before you realize it.
But my driver had a field time.
They got into a stare game - WHO BLINKS FIRST
Biker got impatient - called his friends
(I believe to bring a crane and swoop him out from middle of the road and park him on another highway to continue the chase)
