Millennials are usually perceived to be careless with their money. However, this may not always be true. Shreyansh Patel, 25, a bartender in a soon-to-open upscale restaurant in Mumbai, currently assists his manager with deciding the beverages and wine menu, but is also meticulous about planning his finances.
Being a part of the hospitality industry isn’t easy. “There are days when I work for 16 hours straight,” said Patel. His first job too didn’t leave him with a lot of time to understand financial nuances, but he started on the money road even before he got a job. “My grandfather gifted me a some money which I wanted to invest right. Since my parents don’t invest in equities and prefer recurring and fixed deposits, I needed guidance from someone who understood mutual funds and markets,” said Patel.
