What Changed? Key Educational Takeaway

Over your 25-year career journey, compounding does the heavy lifting: 72% of your final ₹6.35 Cr corpus is pure market growth (₹4.58 Cr), while your actual out-of-pocket contributions account for only ₹1.77 Cr. Notice how stepping up your monthly SIP by 10% each year aligned with promotions allows you to reach the ₹1 Crore mark early without feeling financial strain.
