Rise to the 1%: The Smart Indian's Playbook to Wealth and Early Retirement

What separates the 1% isn’t luck, timing, or inheritance. It’s mindset, planning, and execution. In Rise to the 1%, Sharan Hegde, one of India’s most trusted voices in personal finance, pulls back the curtain on the money myths we inherit, the mistakes we repeat, and the mindset shifts that quietly create wealth over time. This isn’t just a book about saving or investing. It’s a full rewire. From early retirement and health planning to insurance, loans, credit cards, cars, taxes, and even giving back, Sharan breaks down life’s biggest financial decisions with clarity, honesty, and real-world examples you’ll actually relate to. With a voice that is equal parts expert and friend, he dismantles toxic money beliefs, simplifies complex ideas, and most importantly, shows you that financial freedom isn’t reserved for the ultra-rich. It’s for the intentional. This book won’t just change how you handle money. It’ll change how you see yourself.
