The First Crore: Why It Matters [8:23]
Shailendra Singh explains why earning the first crore is crucial for achieving financial freedom.

Shailendra Singh explains SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) as the opposite of SIP (Systematic Investment Plan). With SWP, instead of investing money regularly, you withdraw a fixed amount regularly from a lump sum investment.
