iStock Want ₹25 Crore Before 40? Start This One Simple Habit at 25 If you're aiming to build wealth and reach millionaire status before the age of 40, starting early with Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) in your twenties could be a game-changing strategy. Chartered accountant Nitin Kaushik recently shared insights on X, encouraging young earners to begin investing as soon as possible, highlighting that the financial choices made in your mid-20s can significantly benefit you in your 30s and beyond.SIPs involve investing a fixed amount regularly, and when combined with a disciplined, long-term approach, they can lead to substantial financial growth. Kaushik emphasized the power of starting small and gradually increasing your contributions in line with income growth. This strategy not only builds a strong investment habit but also takes advantage of compounding over the long run.To illustrate the potential, he presented a simple calculation based on three assumptions: a 10 percent annual return on investment, a 10 percent yearly increase in SIP amount, and a 30-year investment period. The numbers clearly show how disciplined investing can lead to significant wealth creation over time.Starting with a modest Rs 2,000 per month can grow into approximately Rs 2 crore. Increasing it to Rs 5,000 per month could lead to around Rs 6.3 crore. A Rs 10,000 monthly SIP can potentially grow to Rs 12.6 crore, while a more aggressive investment of Rs 20,000 per month might yield close to Rs 25.3 crore over three decades. — Finance_Bareek (@Finance_Bareek) The key takeaways from Kaushik's post are simple but powerful: maintain consistency, increase your SIP amount annually as your income rises, and avoid getting distracted by short-term market volatility. This disciplined and scalable investment approach helps investors stay on track toward long-term financial goals without relying on timing the market or reacting to short-term trends.The message is clear: the earlier you start and the more consistent you are, the better your chances of building lasting wealth. Even a modest beginning, if nurtured with regular increases and a long-term perspective, can set you up for financial freedom well before you reach retirement.

Existing investor Xponentia Capital also participated in the round.

Unitus Capital was the exclusive advisor for the transaction, the company said in a statement. Zype received a non-banking finance company (NBFC) licence in 2023 and, since then, has been disbursing loans from its books. Its current assets under management (AUM) stands at Rs 400 crore, and since its inception, it has disbursed Rs 1,300 crore. Competing with the likes of Fibe and Kreditbee, Zype extends unsecured personal loans but only caters to young salaried consumers. Its borrowers have typically used Zype for wedding expenses, home repair, and health emergencies in their families. 'We have grown this business in a measured and profitable manner. With the new raise, we are good to grow for the next 12-18 months without the need for a fresh equity round,' said Yogi Sadana, founder, Zype.

This funding round comes at a time when consumer lending startups are trying to shake off the tough few months of November to February, when traditional lenders slowed down lending to fintech startups. With the interest rate cycle turning favourable and the festive season coming up, the sector is hopeful of good growth over the coming months. ET reported on August 5 that Fibe is looking to close a $35 million funding round from IFC. Sadana is also hopeful of good business over the festival season, when consumption trends pick up, and the holiday season, when people tend to spend more. 'We have a 250-member team already, with a special focus on technology and keeping collections in-house,' Sadana said. 'We have even built an AI lab internally to work on cutting-edge technologies,' he added.
