Lots of noise increase in Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) to 12.5%. But what this means is that Private investments will now attract only 12.5% LTCG as compared to 20% earlier. This, plus the abolishment of #Angeltax , is brilliant for the startup ecosystem. Much needed.

A lot more of this must happen across other states in India. Kudos to @governmentofkar ♥️ (P.s Unaware if other states also have enabled this, if they have, then even better)

With every passing year, it gets more and more apparent that it will be a long time before we see as fearless an Indian test cricket team as the one led by Kohli. Monster mentality. 💪

My phone has become unusable due to telemarketing and is always silent. Guess what goes around comes around. I spent four years at a call center, making unsolicited calls to people in the US. I guess Karma has a way of biting back. 😬

There are so many WhatsApp groups filled with experts predicting what's to happen next—but before that, check out this long-horizon Nifty chart. And see that slight dip at the end? Yeah, that is the 'end-of-the-world' stuff everyone's talking about.

Misconception - personal finance is about picking stocks or accessing exotic investments. Truth - personal finance is about doing simple things. As @Nithin0dha says one of the simplest things is to add nominees to your broking accounts, bank accounts, and insurance. ♥️ (1/3)

Between 50,000 and 80,000 crores of assets are unclaimed across demat accounts, mutual funds, insurance, etc. This is because most investors don't add nominees to their investors. In fact, 72% of Individual investors don't have a nominee for their demat accounts and mutual fund

India is second-largest steel-producing country. And steel sector in India is highly emissions-intensive and contributes almost a third of direct industrial CO2 emissions. With demand for steel only increasing, we certainly need alternate source of energy. (1/n)

Agree. Most VC's have not built enough companies to have earned the right to advise founders. Making the wrong choice of VC is the founders fault. Just getting a "VC job" doesn't qualify you to advise founders. Whose opinion to trust on what topic is the most important thing

Equity investors @zerodhaonline have realized a profit of Rs 50,000 crores over the last 4+ years and are sitting on unrealized profits of Rs 1,00,000 crores on an AUM of Rs 4,50,000 crores. By the way, most of the AUM was added in the last four years.

Something I picked up from conversations with private and public investors. If you are a founder looking to build in India or are in the early stages of your company, be mindful that having processes replicating a public company is tons of brownie points with any investor. ❤️
