Starting your investment journey doesn't have to be complicated. Priti Rathi Gupta, Founder, LXME, says even investing ₹1,000 a month can help build long-term wealth when done consistently. She recommends following a simple asset allocation strategy based on age and starting with index funds, large-cap funds, or multi-cap funds for equity exposure. Adding debt and gold funds can further diversify your portfolio. Regular SIPs and gradually increasing your investment amount as your income grows can help create a strong financial foundation over time.
