From 20 lacs losses until now for the last 3 years, finally made some good profit this year and earned more than 50 lacs this financial year. Super excited for the future.

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Asking from people who consider that one should strive towards owning a house (or an even stronger stance that not owning a house is not an option for them).

Really want to understand their POV. 

Why are you comfortable taking 15-20 year loans for the dream of owning a house?

Owning a house, what's the appeal?

How and what was the incident that made you first realize your boss knew nothing about what he/she was doing and was just coasting along sprouting corporate mumbo jumbo and everybody just zoning out or nodding along


An excellent one of mine, integrate clubhouse voice group chat system within our app, not the voice/audio group stream api or anything but entire clubhouse app within our app :)

How did you realise your boss knew shit ?

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

Hi everyone,

The year end is here. It was a great year for my FIRE journey and I thought I'll share an update with you all.

With few days left in 2023, I've crossed 2.65 CR in net worth after touching 2 CR in May this year.

Here's the breakup:

Direct shares: 1.7 CR (this was the major driver of growth),
ELSS: 0.06 CR,
Company shares: 0.06 CR,
Real Estate: 0.4 CR (while it is between 42-45 now, keeping this unchanged from May),
EPF: 0.34 CR (interest for last year kicked in),
NPS: 0.06 CR (investing because I'm in 30% bracket, getting 14.8% xirr here),
SGB: 0.03 CR

The driver for growth has been a high saving rate.

In 2023, i've added 29.5 lakhs in equity, about 2.5 lakhs every month. 6 lakhs in company shares (US listed). The EPF and NPS savings are on top of this. My target was to save 36 lakhs in equity overall, and it's done! Targeting the same for next year. I'm aiming to cross 2 CR in equity before July 24.

Another change I did this year is that I've moved away from active advisory. I get the stock ideas from Twitter discussions, analyse them fundamentally and take bets based on the charts. I'm quite confident of my charting skills with max drawdown of 25-30% but upside of multiple x. I could capture 2-3 2x this year with sizable investment in them. I got this confidence after i could take my wife's account from 11 lakhs to 20 lakhs in about 2 years.

While the next year can be a huge bull run if BJP wins, I'm still trying to diversify. I'm planning to add a real estate of about 75 lakhs by paying 10%. This will help me leverage as well. The rental yield is the property is approx 5% and calculations show that I'll have to only pay 40-45% of the EMI and rest will be covered through rent. This should bring my equity exposure down from the current 65% to less than 50%. In this I'm trying to diversify and leverage while not denting my current equity corpus.

Suggestions welcome to make this FIRE journey better!

Thanks!
