Few months back I wrote, post about MPROFIT, a product for personalized portfolio management which is desktop based. In simple terms, this is solution for retail investors to manage/track their transactions across many different types of asset class. It simplifies many of the mundane tasks of portfolio tracking. Some of the highlights are:
- Manage an unlimited number of individual and group portfolios: This is good for all do-it-yourself investors. Almost all of us tend to manage different types of assets/buckets/type of portfolio.

- Track income received from investments – I love this one
- Annualised Returns (XIRR) report – My favorite feature because I believe this has much more relevance in personal investing. CAGRs are nothing but mathematical jugglery.

Many entrepreneurs are in fact attempting to develop solutions for Indian consumers.
Social Media is a new buzz in business circles and marketing machinery. If you have an email address and read popular news articles on internet, then it is hard for you to avoid the talk of social media. It is the new in-thing in today’s World Wide Web. There are many different connotations of social media such as social is influence marketing, social is conversation, social is inbound marketing, social is permission marketing, social is community, and many more. At a fundamental level, it is nothing but organization of social groups. I think of it as similar to group of people in our building, our society, our group of colleagues in work place, etc albeit much larger now.
