Staying calm and keeping on with investing is the best way to accumulate wealth over the long term.

There are many ways to start an systematic investment plan (SIP).

If you are reasonably comfortable with technology, using online channels -be it directly with asset management companies (AMCs) or through service providers - might be the most prudent course.

If not, you can also approach financial advisers or mutual fund offices to get started.
The process involves a one-time identity and address verification process (know-your-customer or KYC process), and providing a bank mandate for automatic monthly investments.

When it comes to choosing schemes, there is no single best plan and a better approach is to put together a small basket of 2 to 3 mutual fund schemes, split your monthly investment between these, and review this set (portfolio) once a year to make sure that they are still good.

For your purpose, a small set of funds comprising of Franklin India Blue Chip, HDFC Top 200, and ICICI Prudential Discovery would make a good starting point.
