When you invest a lumpsum amount, your entire capital starts earning returns immediately from day one. Because compounding works by earning returns on both your principal and all previously accrued gains, having a large principal invested early produces massive long-term wealth acceleration.
The famous 'Rule of 72' states that dividing 72 by your annual return rate gives the exact number of years required to double your money ($ \approx 72 / r$). At a 12% return, your lumpsum doubles every 6 years. Over 18 years (3 doubling cycles), a ₹5 Lakh investment grows to ₹10 Lakhs $ o$ ₹20 Lakhs $ o$ ₹40 Lakhs without adding a single extra rupee.
