The national stock exchange and all banks keep sending emails to be wary of anyone promising a return on your investment. I often wondered why they send such emails so often. 
  
 It’s a scam. Report them to the police cybercrime website and block them on everything.

I was recently approached by two companies named Shreya marketing and Thanvitha ayurvedic, they both have pitched this investment scheme that it would give me a return of 12% or something. They specified that they have 1500 acres and have turn over of 1000s of crores.
But don't know what their business is.
Here is the link: https://www.shreyainframkt.com/
Comment if you have been approached by them or any sort of this people.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I randomly met a girl at a co-working space. I initiated the first conversation by asking, 'What do you do for a living?' She replied, 'I’m not working, I’m doing business in cost reduction and cost management for some companies. Once they gain profit, we get a share of that profit.' I was very interested in the topic and told her that I wanted to get involved. Now, I’m getting a call from her, saying that I need to invest up to 3 lakhs for a membership or dealership card. This will give me access to a team that can guide companies on cost management, helping them gain profit. Out of that profit, this group may get a share. How true is it?

Senior Engineer

Okay, so this happened to me last year. I was approached by a college alumni (got my number from college alumni group) who told me he had a side business going on which was leading him to earn more money than his corporate job and that he was going to leave the corporate for his “business”.

I was initially not interested but he was insistent and also I was looking to explore some options (may be my naïveté) that I asked him more and so he setup a call with his senior to explain more about this “business”.

Now this senior gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how to reach financial independence and picking up on the general mindset of how to make more money. They asked to create a list of 10 things that I desired the most at the point of time which could be solved with more money. I complied thinking it was a good exercise (again, I was a big fool). Now I was connected with another senior who gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how I could make more money and lead to financial independence.

Please note, during all this time I was constantly asking what the business idea was and how it would be achieved but got no response on the details and only white washing regarding how I should be prepared to do anything to achieve my dreams.

Now, it was revealed that I would need to put in 5L as investment to get bigger returns. Since I did not have that money in handy, I was suggested to get a personal loan through their agents. Also not to inform this to parents because they won’t understand this stuff and get “worried”. Luckily I did went with their suggestion and informed my parent about it. Thinking it was a startup idea, I got the investment from my father through an OD in my name.

Now we get onto a call two days later, where they reveal the company QNet and makes me purchase 5L of stuff from their website and explained the business model which was to get other people from your knowing to buy products from this company and get commissions on the sale.

Pyramid scheme scam

Bruh... what even?! It's a well known scam. I don't understand how you were ready to put in 5L of your money without going for a simple google search.  
  
 All these IIT/NIT/IIM/AIIMS means they cracked a certain exam. It has nothing to do with guaranteed moral values or even basic common sense. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.

Supply Chain Manager

Thow me any relevant information about raising angel investment from him. The communication is in place and I am sceptical. I wish I could do it bootstrap. The freebie team is not good to build, and looking to raise to hire developers to build fast and iterate.

Does anyone know him? 
What kind of person is he in real life?
Is he really supportive?
Could you help me with other Angel names, incase needed?

Customer Success

Hello everyone,

I have been working for around 13 years now. I started my investment journey around 11 years ago. Over 11 years have seen 3 market corrections. 1 major and 2 minor. Seen demonetisation, GST, covid, Russia war, middle east war.

Inspite of all this was able to create a 8 digit portfolio. Hit my first 1 Cr 2 years back.

I have been able to consistently able to hit 35% CAGR in my investments from past 11 years which includes equity, mutual funds, ppf, FD, etc.

At my work everyone asks me for financial advice and I also have helped more than 100 of my colleagues in starting their financial journey. People are quite happy with my advice.

But now I want to get your advice on how I can productize my advice so that I am able to reach people at mass who could benefit and also start their investment journey.

Happy to get your suggestions and advice. Please note I don't want to start a financial advisory firm as then I can only reach or cater to max maybe 200 people.

My thought is to reach 3-5 lakhs individuals.

Welcome to any ideas and collaborations. Let me know.

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?

Demat account will be yours, no upfront fee; no fee up to 10% profits annually. Above 10% charges are 10% of profits e.g. if Rs 100 invested and it becomes 140 at the end of year 1, you pay Rs 3 as fee i.e. 10% of Rs 30. Only criteria- you need minimum capital in your demat account of Rs. 50 lakh

If you have minimum 50lakh, I can help you grow it to 5 crore plus in ~7yrs

Finance Consultant

I had some commitments previously, so didn’t focus on saving. Now that I have completed that, I have started to gain savings to invest. To someone who has not started investing in anything except ppf, can anyone suggest where should I start?

How's HDFC endowment policy? They're claiming a >30% return on the principal amount. 
Are there any risks involved with such a policy? Anyone invested in such policies?

When you look at this market, everyone seems to be sharing PMS services for 50+ Lakhs

Any suggestions for companies that do this but for below 50, common people. Expecting somewhere around 5+.

Started a company in 2023 and already valued at $1.1Bn 🚀
Company is called Zyber365. Never heard of it? Have a better GK.
Raised Series A from Sram & Mram Group of $100Mn. Sram & Mram is a Tier 0.5 investor. Remember 5ire? That random Web 3 company that had become a unicorn out of nowhere? Same investor.

The company currently has zero products to offer and claims to build a suite of products in the next three years. Long term thinking 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Is this some kind of money laundering scheme? Smells like a scam!

Pearl Kapur has a net worth of $1.1 billion (approximately Rs 9,129 crore) and commands a majority share of the 90 per cent in Zyber 365, which he established in May 2023.

Who is Pearl Kapur, the 27-year-old who built company worth Rs 9,800 crore?
