His family can provide financial support of ₹ 30 lakh($ 40,586). He has a savings of ₹ 10 lakh($ 13,529).

Rahul started with investing ₹ 29k/month in mutual funds. This is to build a corpus for retirement.
He invested in ELSS fund ( also to save tax), a large-cap fund, a large and mid-cap fund, a mid-cap fund and a debt fund and expecting an average annual return of 12%.

He is planning to retire at the age of 50.
At a 12% annual rate, his 29k/month investment would generate an amount of ₹5.33 Crore($0.72 Million).
If we consider annual inflation of 4%, the amount would be equivalent to ₹ 1.85 Crore($251,363).

This is a completely no brainer strategy to retire rich, where he don't need to know anything about company's valuation or analysis & his CAGR was 12%.
