Behind the Journey - Biswa Kalyan Rath

November 27, 2018 1538
After uploading snippets of his routines on YouTube, performing hour-long specials on the road and creating his own web series, Biswa Kalyan Rath has become a household name. But the mast aadmi didn’t always intend to be the comedian you know and love today. Once he graduated from IIT, he took on a series of somewhat random jobs. He worked as a graphic designer and also worked in advertising and software before finally building up the courage to take his jokes to the masses on open mic nights. When he tasted real success at his first-ever live show, he decided to quit his day job and concentrate on making people laugh.

But, being creativeisn’t something you can always count on. Content that is relevant today may not be quite as gripping tomorrow. Even though Biswa insists that he isn’t a celebrity and doesn’t worry about the future of his comedy, he had the good sense to start making a few investments to secure his financial future. He claims that he is tight-fisted with his funds and only spends whatever is leftover after he invests a fixed portion of his earnings on a consistent basis.

Apart from saving habits, there’s one other thing that Biswa got absolutely right – that there’s a serious and concerning lack of financial education in our schools. Once our salary is credited into our account every month, we are often clueless about how to save or where to invest for future rewards. Biswa was rather lucky in this regard, and a couple of his risky investments really paid off – but not everyone is quite as fortunate. That’s why HDFC Life has come up with a range of investment and insurance plans that you can purchase to safeguard your financial future. With HDFC Life Click 2 Invest ULIP , you can opt to make investments that suit your personal monthly savings, risk appetite, and future financial goals.

So, what are you waiting for? Listen to Biswa and plan your finances so you’ll always have a safety net to fall back on, even in the face of life’s most poetic ironies.
