I was 13 when I earned my first rupee.

Selling vegetables in the local market.

Not because I had to,
but because I wanted to know what it felt like to earn my own money.

That moment sparked something in me—
and it never faded.

Entrepreneurs aren’t made at 25 or 30.
The foundation is laid in the small, restless moments of childhood.

At 23, I stepped into broking.
At 25, I became a sub-broker—
Rented an office where the rent was double my salary.

I didn’t have the money,
but I took the risk and borrowed for the advance.

In 20 days, I generated enough business to cover it all.

That’s when I knew—
this wasn’t just a job.
This was my path.

I had a government job offer.
A safe, predictable future.

But I wanted more.

2013: I incorporated Enrich Money as a master sub-broker.
We had no safety net—
₹45,000 rent, ₹4,50,000 deposit.
But we took the leap anyway.

2015: At 30, we secured MCX membership—
and everything changed.

2017: We became a full-fledged broking firm.

Through it all, there were milestones that meant more than numbers:

🚵 2008: Bought a Splendor—my first ride.
🏍 2011: Bought a Bullet—because dreams grow.
🚘 2014: Got an XUV 500—my first real car.
🚗 2019: Bought a Mercedes-Benz—because hard work pays off.

In 2008, my first salary was ₹7,000 (₹6,400 after deductions).
But in entrepreneurship, there is no fixed salary—
Only the drive to keep going.

Today, we are building Orca—
a technology-driven broking platform
that isn’t just competing.
It’s rewriting the rules.

And recently, we raised $5 million from investors
who see the future the way we do.

From selling vegetables at 13
to leading a tech-driven brokerage firm—
Every step has been a risk.
Every risk has been worth it.

And the journey is far from over.

MCX Gold price has decisively broken above all key EMAs (20/50/100/200), confirming a strong shift in near-term momentum after weeks of consolidation. Bias stays positive above Rs 149,000, with a hold needed to extend gains toward Rs 150,000; a slip below Rs 149,000 would signal exhaustion after the sharp run-up.

Investors remain cautious amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, elevated crude oil prices, persistent FII selling and continued weakness in the rupee. The ongoing June-quarter earnings season is likely to drive stock-specific action, while broader market sentiment will remain sensitive to global developments, energy prices and capital flows until there is greater clarity on the geopolitical front.

Persistent Middle East tensions fuel concerns over Strait of Hormuz disruptions. Sustained oil strength and rupee weakness remain key headwinds for domestic sentiment.

On technicals, Nifty needs a sustained breakout above current resistance to target 24,300–24,400. The 24,000 level remains crucial support. A decisive break below could expose 23,900–23,800.
