It can, even if you start small (Rs 10,000 each month)!

The Numbers Tell the Tale

[{"selector":"#anim-bf7890888443d5e693d6d851e6dc755d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-315181b8cc6ea68e8845e400ae21c1af","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.48548%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Say at 25, you started a monthly SIP of Rs 10,000. Assuming 12% returns, your Rs 30 lakh investment would grow to Rs 1.7 crore by age 50!

The Power of Compounding

[{"selector":"#anim-eda09b786ffedae9b2699510b95ee118","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f7f04ca262ba41436eddeb0f1a48f3e0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-104.48548%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Giving your investment enough time can swell your investment, thanks to compounding. In the previous example, the Rs 30 lakh investment ballooned almost 500% in just 25 years.
