Hey there,
If you’ve read my articles on surviving Bangalore’s salary reality and building wealth, you know I focus on actionable, ground-level advice. This page is the natural extension of that.
Below, you’ll find every app, platform, and service I’ve personally used to navigate my own financial journey in this city—from my first SIP to planning for my home. I don’t just list these; I actively use and trust them.

📈 Where I Invest & Grow My Money
Platforms for SIPs, mutual funds, and stock market learning.
Zerodha Coin
What it’s for: Investing in direct mutual funds and ETFs with zero commission.My personal note & why I use it: This is where my oldest and largest SIP runs. After trying a few platforms, I switched to Coin because it cut out the middleman fees (the “regular” fund commissions). For a 20-year wealth plan, those saved fees compound into a significant amount. The interface is no-nonsense and built for long-term investors, not traders
Groww
What it’s for: A beginner-friendly gateway to start your first SIP, learn about stocks, and track your portfolio.
My personal note & why I use it: I recommend Groww to every friend who feels overwhelmed by finance. I used it for my first exploratory investments. Their explanations of financial terms and simple UI helped build my confidence before I moved to more advanced tools. It’s perfect for starting the “investment muscle memory” habit we talked about in the 5-year plan.
