R. Madhavan On Wealth Wisdom

During a candid chat with Kamiya Jani, Maddy opened up about his evolving approach to wealth management, reflecting on his journey from a lower-middle-class background to becoming a high-net-worth individual. He shared how his early financial habits, shaped by a middle-class mindset, initially influenced his investment decisions.

However, as his financial situation changed, he realised the importance of seeking advice from those who understand and manage significant wealth. “Sometimes, having the wrong approach — because the way of thinking is very middle class—can end up having a big adverse effect on someone who suddenly comes into money and doesn’t know how to manage it,” he admitted.

Neil and Kirti chimed in, agreeing that financial literacy plays a crucial role in wealth preservation. Neil highlighted the value of consulting financial experts, revealing that he started working with one four years ago to ensure smarter, more sustainable investments.

Neil and Kirti On Money Mindsets

Maddy, Neil, and Kirti also chatted about money mindsets, where the conversation drifted between caution and confidence. “Yeh aur ek dusri ideology yeh bhi hai ki chadar se zyada pair phailaao aur jitna zyada spend karoge utna zyada aap earn karoge,” Kamiya remarked, and Kirti highlighted that money, like energy, flows when it’s in motion.

While some agreed that spending fuels earning, Neil pointed out that such a mindset is often easier for those with financial security. Ultimately, the discussion circled back to perspective—whether money is approached with a sense of lack or abundance matters more than just the numbers in one’s account.
