About the Book: What sets the top 1% apart isn’t sheer luck, perfect timing or a wind-fall inheritance—it’s the right mindset, rigorous planning and consistent execution. In Rise to the 1%, Sharan Hegde—one of India’s most trusted voices in personal finance—unpacks the money-myths we inherit, the costly mistakes we repeat, and the quiet mindset shifts that compound into lasting wealth. This isn’t simply a guide to saving or investing, but a complete personal-finance reboot. With topics ranging from early retirement, health and insurance to loans, credit cards, taxes and giving back, Sharan speaks like a friend-advisor, showing that financial freedom isn’t just for the ultra-rich—it’s for the intentional. The book won’t just change how you handle money. It’ll change how you see yourself.
