[ 05 ] THE THESIS
Why Indians are going global.
Access to compounding giants
Own slices of Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet — companies whose earnings power is unmatched in India.
Geographic diversification
De-risk a portfolio heavily concentrated in Indian equities, real estate and the rupee economy.
USD hedge against INR
The rupee has depreciated ~3–4% CAGR against the dollar. Global assets quietly protect purchasing power.
Wealth sovereignty
Multi-jurisdictional holdings offer resilience in worst-case scenarios — estate planning, children studying abroad, relocation.
