Brought a refrigerator, replaced a 30 year old one we have been using since my parents married. My mom broke down when service people were taking away our old fridge 🥹

Bought my Mom a Titan Raga watch and my Dad a wallet. Had noticed for a while that my mom's old watch wasnt working anymore and in those days we didn't have the money to afford one. One of the proudest moments of my life...

I purchased a Calvin Klein set for a vacation in Bali. It was ~15k for the set and I must say that I enjoyed being in them. So did someone special. 🤭

Software lead

Moengage is hosting a “flagship” event in their “home turf” and are asking employees not to come so they can save money on the number of plates served during lunch and the amount of beer bottles served. 

What’s the cheapest cost cutting measure your company has taken so far?

The irony is that Moengage called an investor to whitewash their financial condition in a recent town hall.

What’s the chindiest cost cutting measure your company has taken?

Me and my partner have been in bangalore for around 5-6 months now and we are not going back to our homes in Delhi this Diwali. 

But honestly, we are quite clueless as to how to celebrate Diwali here. We have a couple friends here but can't host a party either because there's no space in the house. 

Pls share how you have been celebrating Diwali. 

The last and worst option we could think of is watching a movie in theatre to keep ourselves engaged.🥲

Diwali in BLR, a sad story

Make your own Diwali! Two years ago, we were in the same situation. We both decided it would be OUR Diwali. We cleaned/prepped the house lovingly. Planned and decorated the house to our liking. Cooked the morning breakfast and Pooja together. Went for a drive to see lights. Just hung out and had a great time. We now try to do it every year. Just us two. No tension, no drama, only happiness and joy.

Product Marketing Manager

What's the best birthday gift YOU have given YOURSELF?

Not celebrating birthday with friends.  
 This is for saving my money. 
 I am broke 🥲

I am continuously getting emails wishing happy Diwali from partner, india head, global chairman , CEO but do I really need these wishes ? Instead stay silent or gift something 🤷🏻‍♂️

What Diwali gift are you expecting in the current Winter of startups?

I’ll go first. 

1. What kind of investor are you? 
I am an opportunity investor, and I do buy good stocks whenever they are in reasonable valuations. Below are my monthly numbers. 

2. Where’s the majority of your investment portfolio ?
I have three RE investments and one of them has loan. And I’m planning to buy a property in Goa or HP. 

3. What’s your monthly investment breakdown?

1.7L/ Month (approx) 

60k - SIP (mutual funds)
60k - stocks (smallcase, us stocks using vested) 
30k - as opportunity fund, this is transferred to a different bank account 
10-20k - for experimental investments in crypto, nfts, and some trading. This is a new segment and I don’t have much experience in this and that’s why starting small here. 

4. Anything else you want to share? 

I am learning to invest on a daily basis. Reading, videos and podcasts are my sources. Some of my tops picks are Whiteboard finance (Marko), My first Million and Smart Passive Income, finance with Saran, and Akshat Shrivastava.
