24-Year-Old Bengaluru Techie Buys Rs 1.9 Crore Flat, Internet Asks For Tips

Last Updated: A 24-year-old Bengaluru techie shared on Reddit that he bought a 2BHK flat after spotting it on Instagram. A 24-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru has gone viral on Reddit after sharing that he bought a 2BHK flat. In his post, he said it has been two months since he started paying his home loan. Surprisingly, the flat, which his father found on Instagram, cost Rs 1.9 crore. The young engineer explained that he paid 35 per cent of the cost in cash, while the remaining 65 per cent was financed through a home loan. He also mentioned that his parents helped a little with the initial payment, but now he is fully responsible for the rest and the monthly EMIs. 'My dad found this on Instagram. Brokers and real estate agencies have moved onto Instagram as well. There are quite a few good listings out there," he said in the comment section. The Redditor also shared two pictures—one of a bedroom in the high-rise and another showing a screenshot of his loan account, with a sanctioned loan amount of over Rs 1.22 crore. Check the post here: Posted on July 13, the story got over 4,300 upvotes and many comments. It quickly went viral, sparking a lot of reactions from Reddit users. Many people congratulated him for buying a home at 24. Some praised his money management, while others were curious about his loan and EMI details. However, a few users raised concerns about taking on such a large loan at a young age. 'I used to pay a lot as rent, from an investment perspective, buying a flat made more sense. The location is near a tech park, so even if I don't live there, I could rent it out and cover half of the EMI through that easily," the young engineer replied to a user asking why he bought a home at 24. A person commented, 'Bhai, it is so beautiful. So good! I'd definitely wanna live in a house like that. Looks so cosy as well. Congratulations, OP!" Another added, 'Congratulations, Bro, it looks so beautiful at just 24, you bought your own home, that too in Bangalore. Something you should be proud of." 'EMI, huh? Everyone seems to advise against it. People say you become a slave to banks if you buy stuff on EMI," a user said. The post also led to a bigger discussion about rising housing costs and the difficulty of owning a home in cities like Bengaluru. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sculptors of TN's Tiruppur seek dedicated industrial cluster to preserve heritage craft

Sculptors from Thirumuruganpoondi, a town renowned for its traditional stone sculpture industry in Tiruppur district, have urged the Tamil Nadu government to establish a dedicated industrial cluster to safeguard and revive their age-old craft. K. Radhakrishnan, a temple architect and president of the Thirumuruganpoondi Sculptors Association, emphasised the town's historical significance. "After Mahabalipuram, Thirumuruganpoondi is the most important hub for stone sculptures in Tamil Nadu. For six generations, our town has been home to skilled artisans who produce high-quality stone sculptures, which are shipped across states and cities,' he said. According to Radhakrishnan, raw materials are primarily sourced from Uthukuli in Tiruppur and Rasipuram in Namakkal. However, restrictions on quarry operations in Uthukuli have led to a severe shortage of quality stone, escalating prices from Rs 600 to Rs 900 per square foot in just a year. At the same time, the cost of machinery has increased, compelling sculptors to raise their prices and thereby reducing their order volumes. He warned that the industry is on a decline due to government apathy. 'There were more than 150 sculpture workshops in Thirumuruganpoondi five years ago. Now, only 112 remain. Skilled artisans are paid up to Rs 1,500 per day, and we offer Rs 500 to new trainees, but even so, young people are reluctant to enter the field. Families involved in this profession for generations are discouraging their children from continuing due to a lack of support.' He appealed to the government to either fully fund a separate cluster or provide land at a 50 per cent subsidy. Without such assistance, he said, the industry could gradually vanish. S. Yuvraj, secretary of the association, pointed out that access to credit remains a major hurdle. 'Last year, we trained 21 young people to become entrepreneurs. They applied for loans but have yet to receive them. This has led to disappointment and distrust. The government should step in to facilitate easier access to loans, machinery subsidies, and introduce a dedicated board to support workers in this sector.' Responding to the demands, a senior official from the District Industries Centre (DIC) said that the government's Micro Cluster Development Programme already offers up to 90 per cent subsidy, covering project costs up to Rs 7.5 crore. However, land acquisition remains the responsibility of the artisans. "If the sculptors want government-provided land, they can approach us directly. We are ready to guide them and help with the loan process,' the official said. The sculptors hope that timely intervention from the government will help preserve this traditional art form and rejuvenate the once-thriving industry.

Jane Street complies with Sebi order, deposits Rs 4,843.5 crore in escrow account

MUMBAI: The markets watchdog Sebi has said the New York based algo trader Jane Street, which was banned from the market on July 3 for alleged market manipulation, has complied with its directive to deposit Rs 4,843.5 crore in an escrow account. Following this the company has also made a request to lift certain conditional restrictions the regulator had slapped on it through the interim order. Jane Street's request for removal of certain conditional restrictions is under consideration, Sebi said in a statement which acknowledged the payment of Rs 4,843.5 crore by the company. The Sebi had directed impounding of Rs 4843.5 crore—the amount Sebi believes is illicitly made by the company--in an interim order on July 3 and restrained the Jane Street and its associates from trading in domestic markets. Sebi had found that Jane Street made a killing by manipulating Bank Nifty on expiry days. Between January 2023 and March 2025, just by gaming the market on 21 trading days it made a whopping Rs 36,503 crore of net profit by pumping up Bank Nifty component stocks in the morning and to ramp up volume and then dumping them at lower prices in the afternoon trades.
