Acknowledgement This book is created out of my experience with all the blog readers and clients I have worked with. While I wrote this book, I received immense help and support from various people to design and create this book. I would like to start with a big thanks to thousands of our blog readers and hundreds of our clients who have given me insights on the issues they face in real life and the potential areas any investor would like to improve and solve in their financial life. I would like to thank my business partner and a great friend, Nandish Desai who brainstormed with me and helped in shaping to this book. He helped me with amazing insights on how the book can be of most value to the reader and how it can become a stronger book. I would like to thank my parents and wife who supported me in writing this book and gave me enough space and time to do my job in the best possible manner. I would like to thank Mahavir Chopra, Namrata and Narendra Ahuja who looked at my work and suggested me improvements at some places in the book. Finally, I would like to thank Network 18 who published this book and my editor who helped to give a polished look and language to my writing. Without the support of everyone, this book would not be created the way it is today. Thanks to all.
