How to Start Your First SIP in India — A 2025 Beginner’s Guide

Why Most People Delay Investing (and Why You Shouldn’t)

“I’ll start investing when I earn more.” Sound familiar?
But investing isn’t about how much — it’s about how early.


What Is a SIP? (For Absolute Beginners)

SIP = Systematic Investment Plan
It lets you invest a fixed amount monthly in a mutual fund.
Even ₹500/month builds long-term wealth.


Choosing the Right Mutual Fund

  • Start with large-cap or hybrid funds

  • Use trusted platforms like AssetPlus

  • Check for past performance, fund manager experience, expense ratio

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Investing without a goal

  • Choosing funds only based on returns

  • Skipping SIPs during market dips


Final Thoughts — Build the Habit First

Investing isn’t about luck. It’s about consistency.
A ₹500 SIP started today beats ₹5,000 started 6 months later.
