“Stop focusing on the rate of interest. Instead, focus on the rate of saving” - Malay Damania
Isn’t the latest buzzword INVESTING? But how many of you know how to invest and where to invest?
Feeling confused?
Then, join us in this insightful episode where the host Malay Damania is in conversation with Sharad Sharma to discuss investing in the Indian Stock Market, which is at an all-time HIGH.
Key Takeaways
- Investment risk comes from not knowing enough about what you are doing. Instead, research and then invest.

- When you invest money for the long term, even in the worst mutual funds, you get a return of 10%. The best one gives you a return of 18%.
- Start goal based investing by allocating assets, goal identification and linking your money to SIPs.
- Commit to the formula of Gross income - Expense= Investment. Living by the last formula is powerful.
Listen to the entire episode to understand how you can navigate your way through investing in Mutual Funds and grow your wealth to achieve your goals.

“The only differentiator between your dreams and you are your actions.” - Malay Damania
Most people just wait for the right time to begin anything. Are you also someone who waits for the right time to hit the gym, start a guitar class, learn investing or start your business?
If you answered yes to even one of those questions, then this episode is for you. In this episode, your host Malay Damania talks about why most of us cannot break the inertia and begin.
Key Takeaways
- If you wait for the right time, you will be waiting forever as there is nothing like the right time.
- Waiting is an excuse you give because of your own doubts, fear, anxiety or lack of resources. And that turns into procrastination but remember the key to break the pattern is to start.
- Don’t overwhelm yourself with a lot of things. Understand the big picture and keep your goals in mind but start small. See what you can do today.
- Remember small actions build momentum which turns into a flow and ultimately shows results in the future.
- You might not be 100% perfect but taking action will help you to understand your skill gaps and give you a scope to improve. Just planning or thinking won’t give you that luxury.
Listen to the entire episode to understand why waiting for the “right” time isn’t a good idea.
