our cover story, Should You Go
Direct?, provides extensive coverage.
It was a timely read as I have been toying
with the idea of going direct. I am a
millennial investor and have been using
various digital channels to understand
and compare everything on offer for
someone with my level of risk appetite. It
is true that disintermediation is catching
up among investors of my age group,
as we have access to information at our
fingertips. I have also been following
the Morningstar Fund Review section in
the last two issues of the magazine. The
story on tax planning was a treat to read.
It offered some practical solutions, and I
found it exceptionally relatable because
I do find the annual tax-saving season
rather tedious. Please do cover more on
millennial spenders as well as investors.
I found the coverage limited to a few
financial aspects. Therefore, I would like
to read more on financial issues that
affect millennials.

y letter is concerning the famous
French actor (actress as I would
like to call her), Kalki Koechlin, whose
profile you have published, rightly so, in
the March 2018 issue of Outlook Money
in the Women’s edition that coincided
with International Women’s Day. I
would like to ask what mistake or sin we
men have committed that we should be
disregarded, as if we men have not done
anything worthwhile or done anything
worth mentioning?
However, I was impressed with
Kalki Koechlin and what she said in
the interview, which I am reproducing
verbatim from your own publication:
Koechlin says: “I had to work really hard
after I left Anurag (Kashyap). That part
of my life was all about cutting ribbons.
It was so disorienting.” And, “This is
going to be a really funny interview. I
don’t know anything about money. I
take advice on how to invest from
my neighbour.”

I am an avid reader of Outlook Money and love each bit and byte of
the magazine. In the February issue, Sonu Sood’s Money Wisdom
was excellent. The best part is that he’s inculcating savings habit in
his son too. That’s something very unique and different. I really feel
that diversification is the real essence of investment. One should
stick to this golden mantra.

My knowledge of Kalki (Koechlin) was just from her films. But after
reading your Women’s Special edition, it was clear that she was the right
choice. How she struggled in her initial days in the film industry, not
getting financial aid from her parents, leading often to crashing at friends’
places, is a lot more than inspiring. Besides facing obstacles throughout
her journey, she has become a brand and let her work speak for herself.
