A decade of UPI 🇮🇳. National Payments Corporation of India introduced Unified Payments Interface on April 11, 2016. Ten years later, it serves over 500 million active users across India, connecting 650+ banks and 65 million merchants. Today, UPI has become the backbone of the country’s digital payments ecosystem.

During COVID, markets fell from 12,500 to around 7,000. Those who bought around 8,000 forgot the fall and enjoyed the rally, while many waited and entered late at 26K due to FOMO.

Today, markets look attractive. It may fall to 20K, I don’t know. But those who invest now likely won’t worry about 20K after 3 years.

An Encounter with a Disciplined Investor… an Auto Driver

I recently came across an interesting story in an article about an auto driver who had been investing in the stock market for over 20 years. He followed a simple strategy. He never sold his shares and consistently invested in strong companies like Reliance, HDFC, ICICI, SBI, and some good mid-cap stocks. Slowly and patiently, year after year, he built his portfolio, which is now worth more than ₹3 crore. What stood out the most was that he still lives in his old house and continues to drive his auto for long hours, not out of necessity, but because he enjoys his work. There is no luxury lifestyle and no need to show off, just discipline, patience, and simplicity. It is a reminder that the best investors are not always in the spotlight, and sometimes they are quietly building wealth through consistency and patience.

Usually, the apartment flats we buy today come with many modern features based on current trends. However, these trends often last only for a decade or even less. The practical life cycle of an apartment’s design and features is around 30–35 years, after which people start looking for newer homes that match the latest lifestyle.

In India, nearly 50–60% of flats are purchased through EMI, and many young buyers choose home loans with a tenure of around 30 years. By the time they finish paying the EMI, the apartment’s design and facilities may already feel outdated compared to newer developments.

This is one of the realities of modern urban housing. By the time you fully own the house, the trend has already changed.
