What if, we invest in Bharti Airtel/Reliance/Jio Financial.
Probably they will give more than 15% cagr for next few years.

Instead of giving them 3-4 years recharge amount today, we can see which kinds plans are coming in future and adopt them.
The more they loot people, they will make more profit and share price will go up.
Thus, we can minimize our loses , I think.

(Disclaimer: don't buy vi share to apply this trick, It may make more financial damage)

Welcome to investing 101 🙂

Jokes aside, in case you didn't know, this is exactly how some long term investors operate - buying shares of the companies they use frequently. It gives good returns in some cases.

This can go wrong in one possible way (there are more) - if the company fails to make profit. Then they raise prices of their products AND their stock price doesn't go up.
Which means you'll pay more for plans + you're making a loss on shares. 🥲

Then mutual funds could be more safer option than buying their shares directly, less chances of losing the capital

Yes.. It will eventually ... not sure if it is in thenext 2 years or 5 years..
My prediction, it will happen...
Govt also got major stake in this VI now...
VI can't survive for long..

It all depends on how Govt wants to handle this..

Agreed. In case of Mutual Funds, if a stock (Jio/Airtel/whatever) doesn't perform, it get replaced by a different stock that is performing well.

This exercise is called 'rebalancing' if I remember correct, and is done every 3-6 months by the Mutual Fund Manager.

My take...Adani will take over...Adani enterprises bought telecom spectrum in last round so it's like they bought blade without razor...aage app Samaja jao
 
im confused with my airtel plan.

my current plan is 455 (expiring in July), and id just done a recharge for the 1799 plan.

i thought it gets queued. but it seems not. how can both packs be active anyways?

is it ? for me VI always overridden the validity even for the same plan. i.e., 479 plan

yes, my current vi plan was 459. i did 2 times 1799 (365 days) recharge, and my current validity is a little over 2yrs.
