What truly separates the top 1% from the rest isn’t luck, timing, or inheritance — it’s mindset, planning, and execution. In his new book, Rise to the 1%, India’s leading personal finance creator and entrepreneur Sharan Hegde offers readers a powerful reframe on how to think about money, build long-term wealth, and live intentionally.
Written in Sharan’s signature conversational style, Rise to the 1% breaks down every major financial decision — from saving, investing, loans, and taxes to insurance, credit cards, real estate, and even giving back. The book is not just about earning or spending better — it’s about rewiring how we relate to money. Through practical frameworks, real-life examples, and easy-to-follow systems, Sharan empowers readers to make smarter financial choices and avoid the pitfalls that often derail wealth creation.
What makes this book stand out is its relevance to young Indians navigating their first paychecks, career transitions, or early investments. Drawing from his own transformation — from a consultant managing corporate finances to a creator teaching million how to manage their own — Sharan blends expertise with empathy. His lessons are rooted in lived experience, not jargon.
Rise to the 1% dismantles toxic money beliefs and exposes the myths that hold people back from financial independence. With a strong focus on mindset, clarity, and discipline, the book helps readers see that financial freedom isn’t reserved for the ultra-rich — it’s achievable for anyone who acts with intention.
Backed by a foreword from Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, the book speaks to a generation eager to understand money on their own terms. It will appeal to readers of The Psychology of Money and Let’s Talk Money, but with a distinct Indian lens — one that acknowledges the realities, aspirations, and opportunities of India’s emerging middle class.
With over 7 million followers across platforms, Sharan has become one of India’s most trusted voices in personal finance. His ability to simplify complex ideas into relatable, actionable insights has made him a mentor to millions — and now, through Rise to the 1%, he brings that same clarity and energy to the page.
