The Tax-Free Wealth Opportunity Employees Are Missing | Dhirendra Kumar

Retirement planning remains one of the most overlooked parts of financial planning in India. But is the real problem the lack of investment options — or simply the way we think about retirement? In this episode of Retire Rich, Dhirendra Kumar, Founder & CEO, Value Research, explains why retirement planning is fundamentally a behavioural challenge and why starting early can make a significant difference to long-term wealth. The conversation explores why NPS could be an underutilised wealth-building opportunity, the benefits of disciplined and systematic investing, the growing relevance of Corporate NPS, and why delaying retirement planning can come with a double cost lost time and greater financial anxiety later.
