THE ART OF GROWING RICH WITHOUT INVESTORS

Why do you think that some of India’s best businesses, such as Zerodha, Zoho, and even Amul, have never taken any external investments or funding? The answer lies in a simple yet powerful philosophy driving such bootstrapped startups, family-run enterprises, and legacy conglomerates, which can be termed—Tijori Economics. At its core, this approach is about building businesses that generate revenue from day one, reinvesting profits for organic growth, and maintaining full ownership—of the business as well as success.

“Tijori economics” ensures that companies remain independent, resilient, and free from investor-driven pressures, allowing them to make decisions that align with long-term success rather than short-term valuations. Though scaling takes longer this way and requires patience, this model is about wealth built not by avoiding risk but by taking the right risks in a world driven by unsustainable valuations. 

A ‘tijori’ isn’t just for storing wealth—it’s a smart business strategy to make money work for you.
