From CTO to Financial Independence: The Real FIRE Strategy Explained

In this episode of The Long Game, Mihir Shah speaks with Jayant Kumar, former CTO at Indian Express, former SVP at DBS Bank, and now a mutual fund specialist.

Jayant shares his journey from a long career in technology leadership to achieving financial independence. He explains how he first discovered the concept of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and how that changed the way he approached saving, investing, and planning for the future.

We discuss the importance of building a strong financial plan, avoiding common investing mistakes, and why many people misunderstand the FIRE movement. Jayant also shares the strategy he used to build his retirement corpus, including the 35x rule, asset allocation strategies, and lessons learned from real estate and mutual fund investing.

He also talks about life after financial independence — including the surprising challenges of having too much free time and the importance of finding purpose beyond work.

If you’re interested in financial independence, investing, mutual funds, or early retirement, this episode offers practical insights and lessons from someone who has successfully made that transition.
