From the Founder's desk
I was the proverbial gadha as described in the movie “3 Idiots” – someone who studies engineering, then goes on to pursue an MBA only to go work for a bank.
We are all caricatures, one way or the other.
I’ve been a techie, tech salesman and wealth manager in my previous avatars before turning full time investment manager. Investing is the by far the most enjoyable and meaningful non leisure activity I have indulged in.
Running a rat race can feel very meaningful, so long as that rat race is something you enjoy and is aligned with who you are. My life started looking much more meaningful after I decided to center it around making more money for others and for myself (in that order); life is never short of irony. Not everyone needs to become a philanthropist or a social worker to see meaning in the daily grind.
