    In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Saurabh Jain, the Founder of Stable Money, where he speaks with Raj Shamani about his journey from being an average student to an IIT Bombay graduate and a successful entrepreneur. Saurabh reflects on pivotal moments, such as working closely with renowned founders like Sachin Bansal, building India’s first low-cost index mutual fund, and his lessons from a failed agritech startup. These experiences shaped his understanding of entrepreneurship, team building, and the potential of untapped markets like Tier 2 cities in India. The conversation also explores Saurabh’s motivation behind launching Stable Money, a platform designed to revolutionize fixed-income investments for Indians. He shares insights into the financial behavior of Indians, highlighting how a significant portion of wealth lies in traditional options like fixed deposits, savings accounts, and gold. Stable Money aims to optimize these investments, offering innovative solutions such as 9% FD returns while ensuring financial security with strategies like emergency funds and portfolio diversification. Towards the end, Saurabh emphasizes the importance of long-term financial planning, patience in investments, and avoiding quick-gain schemes. He offers valuable advice for young investors, stressing the role of diversified portfolios and the definition of true wealth as investments that grow passively.
