Lara Dutta reflects on her decision to get married, never wanting to depend on any man: ‘Not when I was a spring chicken’ | Lifestyle News

Lara Dutta, 47, once candidly admitted that her decision to marry former tennis champion Mahesh Bhupathi was well thought through. “I didn’t get married when I was a spring chicken. I took my time. I built my career out. I had a certain amount of financial stability, which was very important for me. Never ever wanted to be dependent on any man. Never will. I didn’t get married because I wanted to be financially taken care of for my life,” she told BeautybyBiE on YouTube. She added, “I think I had reached a stage in my career and my life that the only reason why I said, yes, I am ready for marriage is because I knew I wanted to start a family. So, when I had my daughter, she wasn’t a byproduct of something that just happened along the way. She was very much wanted. When something is that coveted, then you want to give it the time. I didn’t think there was any movie that was offered to me in the first 4-4.5 …

Accenture Employee Shares How He Went From “0 To Rs 5 Crore” In 11 Years

Gurgaon-based Accenture employee, Gurjot Ahluwalia, has revealed his remarkable financial journey, building a net worth of Rs 5 crore from scratch in just 11 years. Mr Ahluwalia, who aims to be financially independent in 2025, shared his milestone on social media, calling it his biggest achievement of 2024.  He also posted a screenshot of his financial tracking app, displaying a net worth of Rs 5 crore against liabilities of only Rs 2.7 lakh. Mr Ahluwalia credits his success to a three-pronged approach: career advancement for increased earnings, disciplined saving through delayed gratification, and strategic equity investments, which he says were instrumental in reaching his Rs 5 crore net worth in just 11 years. He noted that his transition from a salaried middle-class individual to a net worth of Rs 5 crore was largely due to two key factors: having no debt (as his parents funded his education) and not paying rent (since he lived with his parents). He also acknowledged that recent market corrections had led to an 8-10% decline in his net worth. The …

Financial independence of athletes as a driver of change in sports ecosystem

I have always seen sports to be a massive driver of capital and societal change which has been massively undervalued in India. Sports, if effectively governed and built, can contribute at least 7-10 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Whereas today, in the realm of global sports, the industry is flourishing with a valuation of approximately $488 billion as of 2022, the industry in India presents a contrasting picture. Despite the Indian sports industry’s promising growth, projected to reach over $10 billion by 2027, the reality for grassroots athletes is radically different. By writing this, I am looking to explore the role of financial independence in transforming the Indian sports landscape, drawing parallels and contrasts with global practices to examine the necessity for systemic change. The Indian sports sector, heavily skewed towards cricket, has seen remarkable commercial success, with entities like the Indian Premier League (IPL) contributing significantly. However, Dr. Ashish Karnavat would agree that this prosperity is not uniformly distributed. A 2021 survey by the Indian Athletes Commission revealed that 67% of …
