Engagement farming 101

Software Engineer

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have around 4-5cr worth of ancestral land, it’s in a village in UP and the value hasn’t been appreciating much. 

I’m thinking of selling it and investing the money to create a regular monthly income, has someone who has done something similar share any advice?

Investment advice

Product Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Now imagine, we did not have Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, Zepto, Dunzo (its pretty much there)
What would your next bet be?
Well 
1. You have some of your local grocery stores who would deliver for you, but it might take a bit of time 1-2 hrs etc. and you need to build a relation, and only some stores do that
2. Restaurants need to have delivery available who if anyone remembers, it was a pain to coordinate, sometimes they dont do beyond 3 kms. You will have to go on your own. Which will also cost you money. Restaurant deliveries usually have a delivery fee, plus the cost of food. There is still a lot of coordination involved to get what you want. Brochures, phone number etc. 
3. Having a full time person who will do all of these for you, Building tends to have someone who also delivers ( like a chotu or someone )

So lets take the cost of 3 for now if you needed full time
1. Monthly cost - ~ Rs. 10,000 - 15,000 if you needed full time
2. What are you spending on swiggy etc?
 1. No of times you are ordering: lets say twice a day
  1. 2 * 30 * 20 = Rs. 1200
  2. Lets say total amount you are paying is 10000 in amount
  3. Some folks might even argue that you restaurenters are charging 30% extra. ( lets say 30% on 10,000 ). 
  4. So lets factor in 3000 Rs more, so we have total sum, 4200 now.
  5. Time saved = 20 * 15 minutes = 5 hrs a month

So we saw three choices
You can do things on your own
5 hrs of your own time ( which does not cover your cost to move around, so if anyone does not have a vehicle, they have to either walk more, or pay for auto etc )
Spending on convenience Rs. 4200 
Spending if you had a chotu - Rs.10,000. This is debatable, you can argue, this person can also will end up cleaning and doing 3-4 other things.

Some will also say restaurants mark to and sell. My request to you is, even with all the markup how much extra are you paying. And then compare to your alternatives before them.
If someone has a better math or see any flaws in this. share input

For the folks who complain about charges by Swiggy/Zomato etc

I'll go first: I would love to teach kids and write books in my free time :")

Hypothetical: If money wasn't a real problem, what low-paying job do you see yourself comfortably and happily doing?

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. 

Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. 

Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. 

Any suggestions???

Post tax 7 lac a month. Double income no kids, but not sure what do with all the money.

Hey - we are also similar to you. Would strongly suggest finding something you’re passionate about. 
  
 For us (primarily me) - got a dog, took a 6 month sabbatical, travelled to 30+ countries in this time, left job to pursue startup idea, spend time with parents, learn language, improve fitness, learnt some coding, etc 
  
 It’s a pretty good position to be in - just explore I’d say

Strategy & Operations

Holi hai? Diwali hai? So what, nothing to enjoy. Lets spend the day laying on the bed, watching stuff over phone. Feeling less and less disconnected with friends, to the point where I feel I don't even have friends. College friends are based in another city. Didn't even try to make friends at workplace. Stuck alone in my homecity as past 6 years I was based somewhere else completing my grad and preparing for jee. Prior to that focused a lot on studies. So had little to no interaction with people during academics. And now when I have time and money to spend, there is noone with whom I can have fun with.

The older I get, the lesser my excitement becomes for festivals

Moved to a city from a Village. I felt the same. The reason is that cities are culturally and morally bankrupt.  Except mindless consumerism and inflated egos , cities teach you nothing. 
 The longer one lives in cities, people just become animals in fine clothes.

Consultant

Always had a fascination for flying objects as a kid. 

If this held true, I would really love to work in the aerospace domain. Building insane drones or UAVs would be awesome, especially after a decent stint in software.

Was reading about this company called Zipline which works in autonomous aerial delivery. Quite insane how they supply medical supplies in Rwanda using gliding drones that are launched across the country.

Stories like these inspire an entire generation to take up engineering and change the world.

What about you all?

IT is losing its Shine in India 

Earning and fully saving full  25-35k at home town is better than making 65 k in some Popular  Ultra Rich Indian  City 

Where Future Looks Bleak 
Where Farming, Fishing , Green Energy Giving Bootstrapped Startup and 💰 Minting Opportunities

With It it's even difficult to reach 1 Cr 
Over Farming seen people reach there easily with Exports or Just Normal Indian Market 

What's ya all planning?

I know it’s a very common question, and impossible to know or answer.
But curious how you folks here rationalize the meaning of life.

Add your age if that’s okay, for good measure

For me: I’m 27, my life’s purpose (or so I think) is to build something that helps a whole lot of people have a better life. And it is to make the people around me - family, friends, strangers happier (the scale of which depends on how successfully I pull this off).

Whats yours? Would love to engage on this :)

Thread: What do you feel is your life’s purpose?

Do you really need one? 
 Existence is a gift, just enjoying it should be enough.

I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be -
1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday
2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it
3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing
4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on

Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts!

Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything

What's the one thing you love doing without intention of making money out of it?

What new skill you think will flourish and pay off so much in future? I wanna learn new hobby/skill

Any ideas on secondary source of income?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Hey everyone,

I had this random thought - what if you could invest directly in farm harvests? Like, instead of buying stocks in big agriculture companies, you actually bought a share of a farm's crops and made money when they sell.

I'm curious - if this was a real thing, what kind of returns would you expect to make it worth your while?

Just a quirky idea that popped into my head. Interested to hear what you all think - cool concept or totally crazy?

Weird investment idea - farming returns?

Be more brief, if its part time, full time, how are you managing time, do you earn from it, hobby or responsibility, etc

Folks doing side gigs, what are you doing?

Google map reviews. Have earned 500 so far. About to invest about 4L for a 8L return. 🥸

Hi guys, I'm very keen to explore this space, non-techie here, grew up in the farming family so know the ground realities.
I have 1-2 ideas in my mind but before I take that plunge would like to hear from you guys how is this space going to evolve in next 10-15 years (I'm committing long term).
If anyone has any ideas do share it here.

Imploding after investors turned off the taps a year so ago.. investors spoilt the ecosystem chasing growth with weak business models.. disintermediation doesn’t always work.. neither does setting up models that impose costs and ignore risks …
the chickens come home to roost..
