Comment ‘CAR’ and I’ll send you the link straight into your DMs!

🚗💡 Why buying second-hand cars often makes way more sense than going new.

If you’re making ₹20L a year (₹1.25L/month), you shouldn’t be spending more than ₹12K–15K/month on EMIs. That means you’re looking at a new car worth around ₹8–10L.

But step into the used car market 👉 and the same budget gets you way better value.
Example: Instead of a brand-new Celerio, you could buy a 2015 Honda City for just ₹3L — and enjoy 5 more years of solid driving.

Even if you’re making ₹1 crore a year, the math doesn’t change. Cars are depreciating assets. A shiny ₹70L Mercedes may look tempting, but financially? A smartly picked second-hand car still wins.

💡 Bottom line: Second-hand lets you punch above your weight without burning cash on depreciation.

Would you go second-hand over new? Comment below 👇

Comment “AI” and I’ll send you a free masterclass on how to start building and earning with AI today

🚨 The AI gold rush is real — and people are cashing in BIG.

One guy makes $1M/year building 30-second video ads — fully AI-generated, end-to-end.
Another created a tiny app that just adds realistic skin texture to photos… and he pulls in $30K/month from it.

What does this show?
💡 You don’t need massive teams, expensive studios, or years of coding anymore.
💡 All you need is a small problem + the right AI tool = a business that prints money.

The same work that once took production houses and big budgets is now being done solo, in a fraction of the time. ⚡

This isn’t the future — it’s happening right now. The only question is — will you be the one building these businesses… or just watching from the sidelines?

Comment “AI” and I’ll send you a free masterclass on how to stay in the top 20% in the AI era

🚨 India’s “safest” tech company just laid off 12,000 employees.

At first, everyone blamed AI 🤖. But the CEO said it was due to a skill gap.
👉 A gap that didn’t exist for 20–30 years… suddenly shows up now?

Here’s the truth:
– AI can now write 50% of code (Sam Altman, OpenAI)
– Mark Zuckerberg says companies don’t need “middle engineers” anymore
– Coding agents are replacing humans at scale

When the Big Daddy makes a move, others will follow. This isn’t about a “skill gap.”
It’s about AI reshaping the entire coding industry.

Do you think this is just the beginning of a domino effect?

What if you could actually profit from a car loan instead of losing money to interest?

Sounds fake — but here’s how savvy buyers are doing it 👇

Instead of taking a used car loan at 14–16% interest, some buyers create a ₹20 lakh Fixed Deposit under a senior citizen parent’s name (to earn higher FD rates).

They then take a loan against that FD at ~8.5% and use it to buy a ₹17L second-hand car (like a Honda City).

Over 3 years:
▪️ Interest paid on the loan ≈ ₹2.5 lakh
▪️ Interest earned on the FD ≈ ₹4 lakh+

Net result → ₹1.5 lakh profit while driving the car.

Bonus Hack:
After ~1.5 years, once credit score & income have improved, refinance the loan to a cheaper bank (via platforms like PolicyBazaar), pay foreclosure + processing, and drop the interest rate even further.

This is not just buying a car.
It’s financial engineering on wheels.

Comment CAR to get link to the full video 

🚗 Buying a New Car? Don’t Fall for This ₹1 Lakh Scam 💸

When you buy a new car, the dealer will push their insurance — sometimes quoting ₹1.5–₹1.8 lakh for a Mahindra XUV700.

Here’s the catch: the same top-tier policy with all add-ons can cost only ₹40k–₹60k online 🤯.

✅ Fact: As per Govt. of India rules, you are NOT required to buy insurance from the dealership.

💡 Compare prices on platforms like PolicyBazaar, get better coverage, and save up to ₹1 lakh instantly.

And don’t fall for the “better service” promise — it’s just sales talk. You can buy your car from the dealer and your insurance from anywhere you like.

Share this with anyone booking a new car — you might save them a fortune before they sign!

#ad POV: You passed the Mausi Check… but your business didn’t 😬

In India, there are many ways to prove you’re legit —

“Tu janta hai mera baap kaun hai” works at 🚨 traffic stops, 🕺 clubs, even 📚 college exams.

But when it comes to business?
None of that helps if your Instagram page screams scam alert 🚩

A legit business needs more than a good Insta bio.

It needs a 🌐 proper domain name, 📦 reliable hosting, and 📧 professional email — the stuff real businesses are made of.

That’s where BigRock comes in.
✅ Claim your domain
✅ Set up your hosting
✅ Build your website
✅ Look like someone Mausi would trust 🧕🏻

👉 Link in bio – time to get serious.

Lenskart just filed for a ₹8,000 crore IPO — and here’s why it’s more than just another D2C success story. 👇

Back in 2010, Lenskart was a scrappy online startup trying to sell glasses on the internet — something most Indians weren’t used to.
Fast forward to 2025:

₹6,415 crore in annual revenue

2,700+ stores (656 international)

Over 40 million customers

100M+ app downloads

40% of its revenue now comes from outside India

Lenskart now owns 41% of India’s organized eyewear market.
And here’s the kicker: 80% of the market is still unorganized — that’s a huge runway ahead.

🔍 But let’s talk business...
Growth slowed from 43% to 17% YoY. That’s a red flag.

But FY25 was their first profitable year: ₹297 crore net profit

EBITDA margins are strong at ~20%

They’re sitting on ₹1,700 crore in cash

And international expansion is clearly working — Japan, Singapore, MEA are all scaling

💸 The valuation debate:
Lenskart is asking for a 13× revenue multiple.
For context:

Titan Eye+ trades at 3–5×

Zomato & Swiggy are also in the 10–14× range

It’s not cheap, but it’s not unprecedented — especially for a company with strong brand equity, tech-led ops (robotic lens manufacturing, virtual try-on), and omnichannel muscle.

Out of the ₹8,000 crore IPO:

₹2,150 Cr = Fresh capital (store expansion, tech, infra, marketing)

₹5,850 Cr = Offer for sale (early investors cashing out)

👓 Peyush Bansal’s move:
He’s selling ~₹700 crore worth of shares…
But he also bought ₹222 crore worth before the IPO at a lower valuation.
Post-IPO, he’ll still own 9% — making him one of India’s newest public billionaires.

🏘️ India’s real estate boom is pricing Indians out of homes.
What we’re building today isn’t housing — it’s speculation.

Let me explain:

1️⃣ Mumbai
– Flats in Worli & Bandra now sell for ₹80,000–₹2.5 lakh per sq. ft.
– But most remain vacant.
– Owned by investors who never live there.
– Supply exists, but it’s locked away from real people.

2️⃣ Gurgaon
– Super-luxury towers like DLF Camellias are selling at ₹100 Cr+.
– These are 2nd, 3rd, even 4th homes.
– Local incomes can’t keep up = locals pushed out.
– Empty towers dominate the skyline.

3️⃣ Hyderabad
– Was once affordable. But FOMO & easy credit inflated prices.
– Builders overbuilt. Demand collapsed.
– Resale prices dropped 15–30% in parts.
– Govt had to freeze new permissions.

Across metros, the pattern is the same:
🏢 High prices, low occupancy, distorted demand.

But here’s the twist…

🧠 Monaco — one of the richest places in the world — doesn’t allow this nonsense.

✅ You need to live in your house at least 6 months/year.
✅ Utilities & taxes are tracked to prevent idle assets.
✅ No proof of residency = no ownership.
✅ Wealth is filtered via deposits in Monaco banks.

Result?
– No ghost towers.
– No speculative frenzy.
– Locals aren’t priced out of their own city.

📜 Policy India needs (inspired by Monaco & others):
	1.	Vacancy Tax – Tax unused homes after 12 months.
	2.	Occupancy Declaration – Yearly audit of home use.
	3.	Higher Stamp Duty for Investors – Like in Hong Kong.
	4.	Builder Licensing Caps – Stop approvals in oversupplied markets.
	5.	Minimum Holding Periods – Higher tax if you flip in <3 years.

🏙️ India’s goal should be to build homes, not hollow assets.
Otherwise, we’ll keep creating wealth traps, not wealth creators. 2025-07-29 23:04:51 .. 12,505 -32% 119 -76%

I’m saving crores in taxes legally. 😮‍💨

Section 80-IAC is a legit tax exemption for Indian startups.
If your startup is DPIIT-recognized, you can pay ZERO taxes on profits for 3 years.

And it’s shockingly underused. Only ~4,500 startups have claimed it.

More cashflow. More breathing room. More money to build.
Companies like Meesho and Razorpay used it. We did too & it was a game-changer.

🚀 Founders, don’t miss this.

Tesla just opened its first showroom in India — with a ₹69L Model Y.

But can Elon really win here? 🤔

Here’s the problem:
🚗 EVs = <5% of Indian car sales
💎 Luxury cars = just 1%
And Tesla is both.

To compete, they need to go Made in India — like Apple. Govt even offered them a 15% duty (instead of 70%) if they invest $500M locally.

But Elon said no. Why?

Because Trump doesn’t want jobs leaving 🇺🇸 — and Tesla wants to test demand first.

So that new BKC showroom?
It’s an experiment, not a full launch.

Meanwhile…
⚡ BYD is going all in.
💥 Tata owns 70% of the EV market.
🚀 Mahindra & MG are launching EVs way below Tesla’s price point.

Tesla now has to compete with BMW, Mercedes, Volvo — but without the price or service edge.

So… will Elon go all in, or get left out?

👇 If you had ₹60L to spend, would you buy a Tesla?

Let me know in the comments.

🚨 This one mistake could cost him ₹50 Crores!

Andy Byron, a tech CEO, got caught on the kiss cam with his chief people officer and that become viral 

Now? He could owe ₹50 Cr in alimony 😬

That’s 35% of his income difference over 10 years — and he didn’t have a prenup.

Meanwhile in India, there’s no prenup protection at all.

One guy was ordered to pay ₹50K/month and hand over his house a decade after the divorce 🏚️

💔 Everyone talks about what the man loses.

It’s financial.

Bitcoin just crossed ₹1 crore, but is this the top or just the beginning? 👇

This isn’t just a random milestone.
Bitcoin’s market cap is now $2.3 trillion which is more than Google.

Here’s what’s driving the surge:
- 📈 147 US companies now hold BTC, with 40 more expected
- 🏦 BlackRock, Fidelity & others seeing major ETF inflows
- 🧾 3 new pro-Bitcoin bills are about to hit the US Senate
- 💰 BTC is now seen as digital gold — countries are building reserves
- 🌍 Big players like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal & Emirates are accepting crypto

Meanwhile, inflation is high, the US 🇺🇸 trade deficit hit $316B, & global confidence in the dollar is slipping. People want an off-system hedge - and Bitcoin is that hedge.

And despite all the noise, the numbers speak:
Bitcoin has outperformed Indian stocks, gold, and global indices over the last 5 years.

Add to that:
⚒️ Mining cost = $50K
🛒 Buying cost = $120K
🪙 Halving is coming = less supply, more demand
📊 Altcoins waking up = possible new momentum cycle

But here’s the twist:
New money is still low. Early sellers are done. Buyers are holding. And the chart? It’s entered a new zone.

So yeah, ₹1 crore is a milestone.

But now the real question is: Is this the top…or just the start of something much bigger?
