A social media post by a Bengaluru-based founder claiming to invest between ₹5 lakh and ₹15 lakh every month has triggered widespread discussion around salaries, savings and job opportunities in India’s tech sector.

Shobhit Bakliwal, founder of Indusbit, shared that he regularly invests large sums monthly, though he did not disclose his total income.

His comments quickly went viral, with many users questioning what kind of earnings would allow such investments in the current economic climate.

Mother’s reaction goes viral

Bakliwal also highlighted a personal contrast in spending habits, noting how families often react differently to expenses versus investments.

The discussion grew further when entrepreneur Ravi Handa referred to another viral example involving a Bengaluru tech professional reportedly saving ₹15 lakh a month.

He said when the same person spent ₹7 lakh on buying a car, the family celebrated the purchase with rituals, photos and gatherings.

AI jobs debate returns

Handa used the example to argue that artificial intelligence is not eliminating all jobs in the technology sector.

He remarked online that if professionals are still saving such large amounts monthly, claims that AI is taking away every job may be exaggerated.

The statement sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing that skilled tech roles remain lucrative, while others said such incomes represent only a small percentage of workers.

Founder clarifies reality

The original poster later added context, stating he does not currently have that level of income and had been converting previous debt into equity investments.

That clarification shifted the conversation towards wealth creation, debt repayment and long-term financial planning rather than monthly salary alone.

Bigger money conversation

The viral post reflects growing fascination around Bengaluru’s startup ecosystem, where discussions on income, stock wealth and financial independence often dominate online spaces.

For many readers, the real takeaway was not income envy, but the importance of disciplined investing.
