In order to achieve financial independence. In today’s scenario, the trivial ways of investments like bank fixed deposit, bonds, saving accounts are not enough for fulfilling future goals and dreams since they do not yield good returns. 

We all want a better lifestyle, tension free future, but are our investments sufficient enough to provide a high ROI in a good way? Are our traditional investment methods earning good returns?  Are all these questions bothering you? That means you need to have a more balanced investment portfolio by investing in the latest trends of investments. Let me help you about that, you probably have most of your money in a bank savings account and your biggest investment may be your home.

Investors can sell their shares as per their convenience. 

Recently I got an exclusive invite for an investor education initiative by Reliance Mutual Fund at their Mumbai office to better understand the investment opportunities related to Mutual Funds along with few other initiatives from Reliance mutual fund.

The event started with the introduction session & keynote by Mr. Himanshu Vyapak (Deputy CEO ) of Reliance  Mutual Fund. The agenda of the session was what is the mindset of the mutual fund investment in common people? The session was very interactive & we all were briefed about the various initiatives by Reliance Mutual Fund. I will just share some insights on the two major initiatives for investor awareness started by Reliance Mutual Fund.

By login into this, you can actually help your friend for right investment options in a fun way of simply answering few questions on behalf of your besties, loved ones or relatives and as a result app will recommend the best appropriate investment plan based on the results category.

Overall we can say that the mutual fund is ideal for all first-time as well as seasoned. So start investing on a monthly basis & see your money grow.

Caliente Launch In India - 100% Organic Super Drink...

Who says?? Only alcohol as an option for all night drinking and party drinking. !!!! 

Caliente has chili, which releases endorphins in the body, makes you happy or creates a feeling of happiness just like alcohol, but unlike alcohol does nothing but good to the body and for the first time something else than sugar drives a non-alcoholic drink.

The flavors are the mix of fruits and herbs. Not too sweet… fresh fruit flavor hits the taste buds first and the delicate herb flavor is the aftertaste, which perfectly pairs with the food made with similar herb. Voila! so for example in one of the flavors, we use Blueberry and Lemongrass, so blueberry is the first taste you feel on the tongue and at the after taste is that of Lemongrass. Now with lemongrass taste in the mouth pairs with the food which has lemongrass in it like, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. Similarly, another flavor is lime ginger so the after taste if ginger in the mouth pairs with Indian, Chinese, and Sushi etc.
