Harsh Gahlaut, Co-founder and CEO of FinEdge, in conversation with Sonia Shenoy on CNBC-TV18, on how families should approach the child education goal.

What this discussion covers

The conversation makes the case that education costs in India have been rising faster than general inflation, and that this makes the timing of the decision matter as much as the amount. It also draws the distinction between funding an education in India and funding one abroad, which are different goals with different requirements rather than the same goal at two price points.

This is a recorded television discussion from February 2024 and is published here as it was broadcast. Figures, market conditions and regulatory details mentioned in it reflect that date.

Where this sits in the child education architecture

The video is an orientation to the goal rather than a working plan. If it prompts you to act, the decisions themselves are set out elsewhere on the site.

The child education planning page works through the decisions the goal actually requires, in the order they need to be made. From there, the India education planning guide and the guide to planning for education abroad turn the pathway you are actually funding into a requirement range you can plan against. If you want to know what a specific monthly contribution can realistically build towards it, what a ₹5,000 SIP can achieve for this goal works that through.
