    The RBI kept rates unchanged in June 2026 — and most investors are reading that as a negative signal.

  • REITs vs Property: Which is Better In Terms of XIRR (Return)?

    ByMANI

    I ran the same Rs. 1 crore, 10-year investment model on three listed Indian REITs: Embassy, Mindspace, and Brookfield. I’ve used their actual financial data to estimate future returns. The results were surprising: two of the three REITs outperformed physical property on both absolute corpus and XIRR, while also carrying zero property tax, zero maintenance cost, and full liquidity. Here is the complete data, all assumptions explained, and my final verdict on which REIT gives the best return.

  • Home Loan vs Self-Funded Property: Which One Actually Makes You Richer?

    ByMANI

    Many investors assume that using a home loan will always create more wealth because it shows a higher ROI and here leverage is being used.

  • Why the P/E Ratio Lies About High-Growth Tech Stocks?

    ByMANI

    Most retail investors reject a tech stock the moment they see a high P/E ratio. We assume that it is overpriced. But for high-growth tech companies, a high P/E is often a deliberate choice, not a warning sign. Understanding why changes the way you evaluate these stocks completely, and it starts with questioning one assumption you have always taken for granted.

  • How Indian IT Companies Have Survived Every Tech Disruption. Why AI Will Be No Different

    ByMANI

    Indian IT companies like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro have already survived Y2K, the dot-com era, and the SaaS disruption. Each time, people predicted their decline. AI is genuinely more disruptive because it compresses the actual knowledge work these companies bill for, not just where software runs. But history suggests a familiar pattern is unfolding, and the companies that adapt fast will come out larger than before.

  • Understand Depreciation: What I Learned From the Rithala Power Plant Case

    ByMANI

    Depreciation is not just an accounting entry – it is a promise that a company will recover its invested capital over time. The Rithala case is the story of what happens when that promise gets cut short, leaving Rs. 94.59 crore stranded on a balance sheet.
