In this episode, we sit down with Ripan Dutta to unpack a practical path to Financial Independence. At 31, he has built ₹5 crore in 6 years and is halfway to his FI target.
He breaks down –
1️⃣How he set a ₹3.5 lakh per month passive income goal.
2️⃣The simple math to back-calculate corpus needs using risk-free post-tax returns.
3️⃣Why focusing on income growth beats chasing an extra 2 to 3 percent returns?
We cover his –
1️⃣Shift from tax-saving only investments to aggressive SIPs.
2️⃣Current SIPs of ₹2.5–3 lakh a month.
3️⃣Diversified mutual funds with global exposure, direct stocks, a measured crypto sleeve, and ample emergency liquidity.
He also shares hard-won lessons on ESOP documentation, why he rents and does not own a car or a house, and how he spends guilt-free on health, fitness and slow travel while still compounding toward freedom.

Yaar hindi me bolo. Kuch samajh nhi aa raha😊
Great Content 💯
Tough to believe his numbers, specially investing 2.5 lakhs with 60L salary.
Seems fishy.
Excellent storytelling.
5 crore in 6 years with whatever job he has done, is impossible. Straight bluff.
…..his maths isn't adding up…at 60lacs in hand, one gets about 3.3 to 3.4 lacs, if he is investing 3lacs then not sure how is he managing everything else in 30-40k…
