Economically Yours

In a world where personal finance in India is like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, we're out with a Podcast that aims to guide you through the maze with wit and wisdom! 🌟

In this episode, we unravel the complexities of money matters with the one and only CA Dhruv Bhatia, a finance maverick who's been through it all - from articling at Grant Thornton to co-founding India's trailblazing electric vehicle supply chain, ZEVO, to being a Personal Finance Coach for many!

We’ve dived deep into the financial ocean, exploring the ebb and flow of personal finance in India. From the rise of fin-fluencers to middle-class dilemmas on investing, we’ve gone all in on this one!

Personal finance is essential yet eerily intimidating. India hungers for wealth creation, but the societal hush-hush around money and our penchant for short-term gains are culprits in this financial thriller. The solution? Cultivating the art of consistent, disciplined investing and bidding adieu to impulsive choices.

But that's just the tip of the Personal Finance iceberg!

And Stock Markets - they're like the weather – ever-changing but rewarding if you weather the storm.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your financial empire. Time, patience, and a sprinkle of compounding magic can work wonders. Keep those investments flowing, whether it's stocks, mutual funds, or that shiny gold bar, and ride the market's seasonal rollercoaster to financial glory!

So, if you're ready to make your money work as hard as you do, tune in to the episode now!

Akshat 'AI' Bahety is a top-notch generalist trying to solve the most difficult problems, upskilling at regular intervals and has been telling himself that his job could be automated in the near future. Being a project manager at The Adecco group, he remains apprehensive that an AI model could soon take over his job or a robot could fly him to places, or to say the least he could have the best returns from a fund that is driven completely by artificial intelligence.

Safe to say that THAT 'intelligence' barely remains 'artificial' as we can sense and feel each and every tremor that it creates.

However, OpenAI has brought to the table that scares, excites, worries, and confuses us. We believe OpenAI has cracked all interviews even before applying for them.

Truthfully, it is a double-edged sword in the hands of your employer who has the power to swing it at his/her own will. Applications & Programs like Humane & Neuralink are here solving 3rd world problems but compiling of data and its dissemination is not harmful to society. Or is it now? It's increased productivity is creating a dystopian future which Akshat visualizes to the smallest of its crystal.

And hence, he exclaims that privacy is a myth as well as a privilege.

This episode is not about predicting the future nor is it about artificial vs physical. It delves deeper into your job prospects, explains why being the jack of all trades is viable and the need of the hour to land into a future that only a generative AI model could take you.

Tune in before you are run over by an AI model!

Disclaimer: This was just a healthy discussion, with purely no intention to disregard any profession, any position, any institution, or any company/app/software. We value human talent much highly & all we've discussed is about upskilling the same.

India’s macro story has never been dissected to this detail and it is always a privilege to have a conversation about the same with someone who has been featured on Forbes’ 40 under 40. A value investor & a venture capitalist, Mr. Nevil Shah is full of positivity, optimism and places his bet on India’s long term story.

A proprietary investor, he started his journey in 2006, witnessing the 2008 Global Financial Crisis at close quarters and his vast experience concludes that the market is the driver, not an individual.

He exclaims we (India) are in Amrit-kaal as far as the fortunes are concerned. Infrastructure, technology, green energy budget, GIFT city, UPA linkage with Singapore, and so on are some of the key milestones that one will look back to once India is at the pinnacle.

‘Move to understand, study the market and then invest for the long term’ is the Nevil Shah mantra for longevity in the financial market. He further mentions that the macroeconomic fundamentals of our country are very strong at the moment.

Tune in to understand the ‘chicken and egg’ situation currently ongoing in the world of startups, and explore the the macroeconomic fundamentals of our country that are all set to play out!

You get a glimpse of India’s growth story when the guest speaker opens up the episode by stating that ‘I’ve had the lucky fortune of building digital companies in India for the last 10+years.’ (Let that sink in!)

(Disney) Hotstar in the entertainment space, CouponDunia in the intial phase of his career, then onto co-founding PharmEasy in the healthcare sector, and now as the Co-founder, CEO & MD at Apollo Finvest- a BSE listed NBFC, makes it a diversified portfolio in terms of experiences for Mikhil Innani. Loud & clear, Apollo Finvest, that’s not another Bajaj Finance, is the “AWS of lending.”

From discussing entrepreneurship as a need or trend to throwing light on why chasing VC money is equivalent to securing a home loan and how embedded lending could change the dynamics of finance inclusion in the country, Mikhil played around with the words ‘Integration’ & ‘Technology’ that helped him sail through different sectors.

Mikhil is on a bringing-a-change spree via technology, financial inclusion, and building the right team for the best of the times ahead!

Tune in to this episode as we discuss the growth of FinTech in India & how Financial Inclusion is going to play a pivotal role in this growth story, that’s just begun!

The digital learning space is in a new tangent altogether nowadays but who would have thought about eLearning in 2008? Kolkata-based Vivek Bajaj and Vineet Patawari, the co-founders of elearnmarkets, pursued their vision of creating a platform that would make financial education accessible to all. Today, with over 3.5 million users, elearnmarkets has become a go-to destination for anyone looking to learn about markets and investing.

But they didn't stop at elearnmarkets. They recognized the need for a tool that would help investors make more informed decisions, and that's how StockEdge, a "Bloomberg for individuals,” was born, offering a wealth of data and analysis to help investors navigate the complexities of the stock market.

For Vineet, the goal was always to make investing easier and more accessible to everyone. 

To that end, he has brought his own money to the table, building a platform filled with market experts, live interactive sessions, and a wide variety of courses designed to help investors up their game before they enter the markets. It's this commitment to innovation and accessibility that led him to win the award for "Innovation Leadership."

If you're a retail investor who’s looking to learn more about the world of finance and investing, elearnmarkets and StockEdge are two platforms that should definitely be on your radar. With their focus on education and empowerment, they're helping to make India a more financially inclusive place. And with Vineet at the helm, you can be sure that they'll continue to innovate and push boundaries in the years to come.

Economically Yours S02E08

Speaker: Prince Jain, Founding Team, CheQ

Host: Charmi Shah

'Fascinated by Fintech and jotting down points around lending and finance, alongside working on lending products,' is how Prince Jain introduces himself on this episode of Economically Yours. It is indeed fascinating to dive deep into the FinTech Lending & Payments space, in India.

Currently building CheQ, Prince discusses the battlefield against Kunal Shah's CRED. Credit card repayments have taken a unique turn with CRED but CheQ takes you a notch above with its business model and asli rewards!

The discussions circle around what has given a major boost to the finance sector - be it restructuring pre-approved credit lines, the emergence of Rupay Credit card on the UPI platform, or the increase in Credit Card users in India.

Conversations over finance or money barely end without talking about a different chapter in cryptocurrency and its best use. However, Prince firmly disagrees to the idea of cryptocurrency playing a potential role in the future of payments in India.

Tune in to this podcast for insights on finance, money and all the chatter about what's going in and out of your wallet!

Speaker: Aprajita Sharma, Financial Journalist

One of the best ways to start your investment journey is via reading, researching and keeping your theory rejuvenated. It takes time and effort to build that growth story, just like India, but it is worth it in the end. Ms. Aprajita Sharma’s journey has been quite rejuvenating and bountiful of returns.

She spoke at length about the recent covid related retail euphoria in the markets, outside noise that one needs to maneuver and the nuances between trading and investing.

Observing basic parameters like ROE, ROCE, debt levels, and strong conviction levels is necessary for retail investors to start their journey in the market.

She strongly believes that IT, digital public infrastructure and consumption theories will continue to pan out in favour of India. Quite a few policies coming in and going out but one needs to stick to their own policy and continue playing the long term game.

These days conversations barely end without AI coming into the picture and how it has already left its mark. However, our guest speaker is of the opinion that one needs to upskill, innovate and keep growing. Tune in now to understand the remarkable journey of a finance-enthusiast woman and how she manages her relationship with money.
