Most investors spend their time searching for the best mutual fund. Gajendra Kothari believes the bigger advantage is having the patience to leave a good investment alone.

In this episode of Paisa Vaisa, Anupam Gupta speaks with Gajendra of Etica Wealth about his attempt to build a ₹100 crore corpus entirely through mutual funds. He shares how he started with a ₹10,000 SIP, continued investing through years of poor returns and built the temperament required to stay invested across multiple market cycles.

The conversation explores why investors chase recent winners, why too many funds can weaken a portfolio and why market declines may benefit people investing for the next 10–20 years.

Gajendra also discusses his approach to Nifty 500 index funds, asset allocation, debt for short-term goals, large-, mid- and small-cap funds, and current opportunities he sees in Indian IT, banks and China.

At its core, this episode is about simplifying wealth creation: start early, automate your SIP, avoid unnecessary interference and give compounding enough time to work.

The views expressed are personal and should not be considered investment advice.

From decoding your personal finances to demystifying business models, Paisa Vaisa delivers candid, insightful, and jargon-free conversations.
