OUR TESTIMONIAL

Review By Reader

Must read book for all the people. It gives a beautiful insight of all the financial aspects available in india.

Ankit

Superb book - gives you all investment options with its pros & cons. Importantly, anybody with less financial knowledge can understand it.

Ramki Sitaraman

The book goes through all the investment instruments that are available in India. A lot of options such as NPS, PPF, EPF etc could be covered entirely while options such as Stocks and mutual funds are covered in brief as they are very vast topics. Highly recommended read for personal finance.

Himanshu Sawhney

This is one of the best financial, self-help book I have read till now for Indians. It covers the most important tooic that not many books cover for each investment strategy: Tax impact. Using the information provided for each investment option, each reader can make an informed financial plan. Quick tip: Keep a note pad with you when you read this and note down the action items and complete it after each chapter.

Arya Goswami

Changed the way I used to manage my finances. A must-read. A very powerful tool for the new earners.

RAJEEV SHARMA

As the title says, it's a book full of financial wisdom in the Indian context. It's not an investment wisdom book, it's a proper financial planning guide. We have poor financial literacy in India and this is the kind of book which must be included in the high school curriculum. In some topics, more details would be better as it arises the curiosity in you but then, we have plenty of other resources to read after this.This is written in very basic english and with a lot of examples so almost everyone can understand each topic. A must read not only for investors but for every earning individual.

Nilesh Suthar

I think this is an extremely well structured book with good depth of the traditional investment options available in Indian markets. This book covers tax implications, liquidity issues and any caveats which one should be mindful of when considering these options. Never having a formal education in personal finance, I highly recommend this to anyone getting started with building some good and relatively safe investment options.

Mansi Jain

Really really great eye-opening book for an investor! The details are crisp clear with proper practical examples and explanation! Just Wow!

Sandy

If you are reading this comment, then after reading just go and BUY. You will not regret it. Must read for people who started earning. Life is incomplete if you don't have the knowledge provided in the book.

Sahil Butani

It's a wonderful read . The author has given a very intelligent view on investment in India. The Indian scenario is a typical one and the author has unfolded it layer by layer in a very understandable manner.

Gaurav Bansal

This book should be bought by every Indian. It gives a general idea of what investment options are available in India. Its tax details for every investment option is given as well. Happy reading 🙂

Shubam

Best book for teenagers to know about investing options in India.

Raghavendra

Must read for a person who is looking for financial literacy . All the different financial instruments are explained in easy language and its implications are also mentioned.

Swati Sood

A great primer in investing in the Indian scenario. A classy and well edited book worth the buy.

Sanjivi

Every investment fundamentals summarised at one place. No need to surf different websites to educate yourself and clear basic concepts. Excellent book for beginners.

Avanish
