Hello good people of grapevine,

I have recently started my full-time job as a software engineer, and wanted to start my journey into investing.

After doing a bit of research, I feel SIPs in mutual funds is the way to go forward at this point. For now I want to start putting 20k into MF SIPs every month. I took a look at a few MFs which were very high risk but over a period of 3-5 years yielded great returns (50%) as well. While the low to moderate risk MFs yielded low returns (5%).

Though the risk is high, but seeing stable returns over a large period of time, how safe is it to invest in very high risk MFs and not incur losses?

Any other advice is also thoroughly appreciated
Thanks fellow grapeviners.

risk appetite: moderate to high
investment horizon: 5-10 years

What are some of the best liquor/alcohol drinks that you have tasted? I am looking to stock up as some onsite trips are coming up. I don't drink much but like to have a collection for special occasions. Please suggest something that you have personally tried and tasted. Also, if possible, include the price range.

Hi Viners, today I am here for a not so professional ask.

So my husband's birthday is coming in a month and I am already freaking out about what to gift him. It's been 3 years since we have been married, dated for 5 years before that.

I have already given him materialistic things like clothes, accessories, etc. etc. But at this point, I believe that we have surpassed that phase.

To all the male viewers, pls start shooting your ideas below. Also, he is 30+, just so you know😅

Hey Folks, the goal with Grapes was for you to get a small token of appreciation from other members of the community when they like something you’ve done. 

But today you only get Grapes when you receive likes on your posts/comments and when you verify your company. 

How can we expand the definition of Grapes to reward all the awesome things you do on Grapevine? All ideas welcome

How can we improve Grapes for you?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi all, I recently received an offer from a startup. They have included esops in that but the strike price will be the current price. Is that a common practice? I though the esops granted have a strike price of 0 or very close to that. 

If i take them at current price then I only make money from the next upwards valuation only.

Need your advice Viners!

Esops strike price?

Hello gviners,
I've recently joined this company and my team is pretty fun, they've organized secret santa for Christmas. I'm the secret santa for my manager and I have to give him a nice gift. It should be around 2k.

Something about this manager : Wears everything branded, sneakerhead, can sketch, can sing, can get high.

People who are experts in gift giving or if you've received a gift you thought was nice, please help out 🥹  Drop your ideas in the comments!

I'm at that age where is tremendous pressure to get married. Can't even put in words the kind of torture I go through every day. I'm a woman. I have met people mostly through AM set up. I didn't click with anyone. I don't have faith that I'll be anyone compatible through AM route. Tried dating app, quickly realised it's not for me, the compatibility is even worse there. I go to events and such, didn't really meet anyone. Idk if it's just the Kannada culture, everyone is just so shy! I enjoy being by myself but would prefer being with a partner. I realise the importance of having a companion. At the same time, I also don't want to just get married to someone for the sake of it. 

So Bengalurians, especially Kannadigas, where did you meet your partner/SO/spouse? 

What is something I should be doing that I'm not doing?

On the work front, I'm doing quite well. Looks wise too, I don't think I'm ugly.
