How to become rich: To become a crorepati and attain wealth through Mutual Fund Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), one should start by setting clear financial goals and choosing SIPs aligned with your risk tolerance and investment horizon. Personal Finance experts suggest beginning early, staying consistent, and utilise features like SIP step-up to increase contributions over time. With discipline and commitment, SIPs offer a pathway to long-term wealth accumulation and the attainment of financial goals.

He underscored the compounding benefits of long-term SIPs, wherein investors earn interest on their interest, making the duration of investment crucial for maximizing these benefits.

Money experts suggest that investors who commit to a 15-year or longer investment horizon can anticipate returns of 15 percent or more on their investment.

To attain the desired outcome, maintaining a 15 percent annual SIP step-up rate is crucial. For instance, by initiating a monthly SIP of approximately 5,000 and maintaining an annual SIP step-up of 15 percent, coupled with a 15 percent annual mutual fund return, investors could potentially accumulate around 5.22 crore over 25 years.
