I worked in IT for 12 years — and still felt one email could change everything.
My name is Nikhil, I’m 36 and I work as a backend developer in Bangalore. Good salary, international clients, late calls with the US. From the outside, life looked stable. But last year, layoffs started in our company. Every week someone’s access stopped working overnight.
I started checking my phone every morning with anxiety.
Rent: ₹38,000
Car EMI: ₹18,000
Parents’ medicines: ₹12,000
If I lost my job — I had maybe three months.
One evening, while scrolling news after work, I read an article about a government-supported investment platform for citizens of India. I didn’t believe it. In tech, we question everything.
Still, I decided to try.
After registering, I received a call within minutes. They explained everything clearly. I started with ₹30,000 — money I had saved for emergencies.
Three months later, my account showed over ₹73.1 Lakhs
For the first time in years, I stopped fearing layoffs. I built a financial cushion and even reduced my work stress.
Now I still write code. But I don’t feel like my entire life depends on one paycheck.
