Reliance Capital - Bloggers Meet for #LambiInningkiTaiyari

Few pictures from event

Recently I was invited for bloggers meet in association with Reliance Capital Asset Management Ltd. & Blogadda. Few selected bloggers from Mumbai have participated in this meet to understand the requirement of retirement planning for our golden days of life.

As an IT professional working in private sector, we are never assured about our future. When I graduated from college after completing  engineering degree the whole IT market was down & the whole world was suffering from recession, whereas when I joined the engineering, Computer Science /IT was the most popular and highest paying stream. It means no one knows what is gonna happen in future. It might be possible you are earning good & feel that currently you are  financially strong. But have you ever given a second thought when you will retire from your job or work, what will be the source of your income. Those who were working in government jobs had a privilege of getting the pension, but as far as I know the government has stopped giving pension in recent years or new people who are joining their jobs.

So now it's a very important question to ask "Why we need to plan for Retirement". I certainly got the answer after attending the Reliance bloggers meet. So let me share my experience & what I understood about #LambiinningKiTaiyari after attending the event.

The event started with the introduction of bloggers & officials from RCAM: Mr. Sundeep Sikka (CEO), Mr. Himanshu Vyapak (Deputy CEO), Mr.Sharad Goel(CCO) & Mr. Ajay Jethi(CMO). After the brief introduction on agenda of the meet, the officials have played some presentation on the screen. The initial slide were consist of some facts & figures on Retirement planning.
