Mutual Funds before B-school - Aditya Birla MF way

Mutual Funds before B-school - Aditya Birla MF way

Savings is the most thought about thing for a common man. When I received my first salary I brought gifts for all my family members and did away with pending parties of joining as government employee in a Maharatna company. The presence of my first salary in my bank account was ephemeral. It was only in my second salary that I realized I have some disposable income at the end of month. While I was pondering over what to do with that money I came across various opinions and suggestions. Savings is the linchpin of any financial planning be it long term or short term and it presumes even bigger role when it involves a common middle class boy who has just joined his first job.  After going through all the investment options, I decided to invest in mutual funds. This was my first face off with biggest misnomer that everyone has regarding mutual funds, that all you need for investing in mutual funds is extra money. Nope. That is only half the truth. There is substantial amount of research that is required to decide among the plethora of options available out there. I did not have an iota of understanding how mutual fund functions, what is the meaning of various terminologies and what are the mutual funds that would fetch higher returns.

 Part 1 : When I wake up from my bed in the  morning, the bed sheet on the bed is made up of textile from  ABG.I freshen up and wear my favorite apparel from the brand 'Allen Solly'. I  leave my home in a cab and pay the Cab service via ABPB. I reach my office the building of which is made with Ultra Tech Cement and Hindalco rods. I return home and while coming back Imy cab passes through a bridge which is probably made of Ultra Tech cement. I come back home. Freshen up for some recreation and wear my casuals from Van Heusen and then leave to shop from from an ABG Fashion Outlet. Shop one of my favorites from Peter England and then return back home and sleep on my bed with the bed sheets made from ABG textile.

My life story - Avinash Thakur, IMT Ghaziabad

My first business venture: Ever since the commencement of my B.Tech degree in Civil Engineering, I had this constant urge to break out from the usual A drop-shipping business during the second year of my B. Tech course. Started with importing electronics from the US and selling them on Indian marketplaces such as eBay.in, facebook groups and Olx.

ABG - An integral part of every Indian's lives - IMT Ghaziabad

ABG, owing to its presence in 35 countries, has brought brands closer to us. Whether it's splurging on premium brands like Hackett or Ralph Lauren, buying a shirt for my dad from Allen Solly and taking my mom and sister to forever 21 and pantaloons where they can shop to their heart's content, ABG has offerings to suit all tastes and preferences.I still remember, back in 2004, when my mother bought her first cell phone, the salesperson suggested her to purchase an idea cellular (now vodafone-idea) sim card which she uses till date. Vodafone-idea's high speed 4G has made it possible for us to stay connected, wherever we are in this country.
