While attending a mutual fund event recently, one thing really stayed with me.
I noticed beyond the discussions was the very low representation of women in the room.
I’ve been in this industry since 2008, and I have definitely seen things change over the years. There are more women today than when I started, but the number is still much lower than it should be.
Of course, meeting Radhika Gupta was one of the highlights for me. She has been such a strong and inspiring voice in the mutual fund industry, and seeing her journey is a reminder of what women can achieve when they step into this space and make their mark.
I genuinely hope more women take that first step and consider a career in this industry.

Recently, I was invited by BBC News Hindi BBC News Hindi for a short interview to share my views and advice on home loans.😊
And honestly, it felt like a proud moment.
It feels great to see women being recognised for their knowledge and expertise in areas like home loans, finance and money decisions.
These moments remind me that the work we do and the knowledge we share are reaching a much wider audience.
Grateful to BBC News Hindi for recognising our work and giving me the opportunity to share my perspective.

I created an email ID for my home and it actually makes so much sense.
Something like yourhome2026@gmail.com 👍
I use it to keep all my important home-related documents in one place:
• Property papers
• Property tax receipts
• Electricity & water bills
• Home insurance
• Home loan statements
• Renovation bills
• Appliance warranties
• Society/RWA communication
Earlier, these things would be scattered across WhatsApp, emails, physical files and different folders.
Now, if I need something 5 years from today, I know exactly where to look.
Selling the house? Need an old warranty?
Renovating? Looking for an old receipt?
Just search the home email ID.
I’ve also made sure a trusted family member knows about it.
Because important household information shouldn’t depend on just one person.
Of course, the account must be protected with a strong password, two-factor authentication and a secure backup.

Last week, I attended an NJ event that was both insightful and inspiring. 😊
The main focus was on AI and the changes it is bringing to our industry. It was a very interactive session, and it was great connecting with people from across the financial services industry.
We’ve been associated with NJ since 2008, so it was also special to be part of the event and see how the industry is evolving.
And the highlight of the evening was definitely meeting Abhinav A. Bindra . His journey and the way he spoke about discipline, consistency and excellence inspired everyone in the room.
A great evening of learning, conversations and inspiration. 😊

Yesterday, a client shared this message with us on WhatsApp.Their investment portfolio has crossed ₹1 Crore. 😊
Moments like these remind me why we do what we do.
This milestone isn’t about a number.
It’s about years of disciplined investing staying invested through market ups & downstrusting the process (and the advisor)
Thank you for believing in us and allowing Hareepatti to be part of your financial journey.
Here’s to many more goals achieved, calmly and consciously. ❤️

Back in 2013, we were just 2–3 people setting up a small office, with limited resources and a lot to figure out. ❤️
Those early years were all about learning, understanding clients, building trust, and navigating challenges along the way.
Fast forward to 2026, and we’re now a team of 11–12, working from a bigger office with better systems, resources, and processes.
But one thing hasn’t changed. The focus on improving, growing, and doing better every day.
Looking back at 2013 and seeing where we are today, it’s been quite a journey.
And honestly, it still feels like we’re just getting started.

Found this Gem from 2002 in my Fathers old documents- a newspaper clipping discussing Retirement Planning.
More than two decades later, the message still stands tall: Retirement planning isn’t optional, it’s essential.
📌 Whether it’s 2002, 2026, or 2050, planning for financial freedom in your later years is timeless advice.

Yesterday, my mother visited our new office for the first time.♥️
As she walked around, she kept looking at every corner with a smile. She didn’t say much, but I could see the pride in her eyes.
In that moment, I wasn’t thinking about the office. I was thinking about the journey.
She has seen it all. The uncertainty, the long days, the small wins that felt like big victories, and the moments when things didn’t go as planned.
People often ask me who my first team member was.
The answer has always been the same.
My mother.
I just hope I keep giving her many more reasons to be proud. 😊

People often ask me, “Gurleen, who is your mentor?”
My answer usually surprises them. It’s my husband, Tikku jee. Gurpreet Singh Tikku ♥️
After all these years of building Hareepatti together, I’ve realised that a lot of how I think about business has actually come from our everyday conversations, our debates, and those evening chai discussions.
Years ago, he told me something that stayed with me.
“Don’t chase business, Gurleen. Build genuine relationships. Business will naturally follow.”
At that time, I don’t think I fully understood what he meant.
Today, I see it everywhere at Hareepatti.
Three things he has quietly taught me over the years:
1. Listen more than you speak.
2. Never get too comfortable.
3. Choose relationships over transactions.
Looking back, I realise that Tikku jee hasn’t just helped me build Hareepatti.
He has influenced the way I think, lead, make decisions, and most importantly, serve people.
My strongest sounding board. My biggest critic.
And probably my most honest mentor. Thank you, Tikku jee.
I’m still taking notes. ❤️

Recently, I reviewed the financial documents of a client's 78-year-old mother. There were old insurance policies, fixed deposits, passbooks, and investment papers. Some were active, some outdated, and some completely forgotten. 😊
It made me realise how common this is.
This weekend, spend one hour with your parents:
• Check their insurance policies and nominees.
• Organise bank and investment documents.
• Keep everything in one place.
A simple conversation today can save your family from unnecessary stress tomorrow.
The best gift you can give your parents isn't another present. It's financial clarity.
