Overview                                                                                        

A compact, though provoking, interactive workshop on financial planing and its immense benefits. A workshop that shows you with real life examples:

(1) How an average Indian is being taken for a big ride by the financial system as it exists today and
(2) How Individuals and Families can generate a lot more Wealth than they currently are by having basic financial knowledge and using that knowledge to substantially enrich themselves.

 

Objective                                                                                        

To get the participants to evaluate their lives from a financial standpoint. The idea is for people to take advantage of the financial markets, make their money work hard and add to their & their families’ future prosperity. The workshop is highly thought provoking, serious AND entertaining - participate to really get the paradox!
 

Workshop Highlights

The workshop discusses amongst other things:

1. How Time is your best friend in creating Wealth - but we are not using to our advantage.
2. How 95% of us are loosing several lacs due to inadequate understanding of financial products - with a real life example that is applicable to almost every investing individual in India.
3. The concept of Inflation and how it very significantly affects ALL of us and what one needs to do about it.
4. Do you know how much it costs to bring up a child in middle class India and are you prepared for it?
5. How much does it cost to retire? Where will your retirement fund come from? What are your options?
6. That dream home you want? How much, how, when & where about it – all explained.
8. What is Risk? Is Risk & Risky the same? Are you pro or anti Risk?
9. How to have a fortune by actually working less and letting your money do the hard work!
10. And lots more …

Testimonials ...                                                                             


In simple terms you uncovered many aspects of managing one's finance that I had never given heed to. I am still amazed at your explanation on how time plays the most significant role in wealth creation & we neglect it most. Overall it was quite stimulating & thought provoking.
 
Thank you for the session.

Dhirendra



The FTD workshop was very good! For me it set a good direction of what needs to be done for financial security and success, plus a hint of how it can be achieved.

If I had to add a suggestion - a brief overview of how people like us can engage with the markets would be helpful - as investor, trader, short/ long term, part/full time, capital requirements, equities, MFs, derivatives, expected returns by asset class.

Would like to have a 1-1 session with you to talk about this, if your time
permits. Will send you a separate mail on that.

Thanks again,
Sandip



The session was real informative and an eye opener - thanks alot. Left me with a feeling of having missed the bus and felt that you need to incorporate suggestions for ppl who are 45+ or 50+  who need more encouragement and maybe need to still get into the financial planning  fray 'better late than never'. Incidentally, I am getting into the above age category very soon and felt maybe doing some equity courses maybe counter progressive. 

Just my view point ok don't really know if any others felt the same way.

Nakul
ps: your presentation really made me think hard.




"Free to Dream" session was really good, came to know about simple mistakes that we make in selecting insurance policy. Got to know how we waste our energy and time in earning money but not make money earn for us.


The fear of loosing money and to avoid tension on mind people (including me) don't invest in stocks. It is actually LACK of Knowledge that creates this fear. This was clearly explained in class.

Thanks a lot of the wonderful eye opener session.
Regards
Pawar
