Compounding means your returns start generating their own returns. Left undisturbed, a disciplined investment doesn't just grow — it grows faster the longer it stays invested.

This is why time in the market tends to matter more than timing the market: an investor who starts small but starts early gives compounding far more room to work than one who waits for the 'right moment' to invest a larger amount later.

Market up or down, the discipline of investing consistently and staying invested is what lets compounding do its job. Aaj plan kare, kal ka fayda — the earlier you start, the more time is on your side.
