A bizarre marital advertisement from a Mumbai family who is looking for a groom for their daughter has conquered social media. Instead of sharing personal information such as length, education and occupation of women, the newspaper advertisement called the “500+ market capitalization of the family”.
Part of Reddit, the advertisement was: “Mumbai established business family with 500 crore+ market capitalization in search of a suitable Marwari/Gujarati boy for the marriage of their daughter (28 years).”
Do I have to apply?

Usually used to refer to the overall value of the shares of a company, surprised the expression “market capitalization” many and trained a series of humorous answers online.
A person said: “LOL I never trusted these advertisements. Families with 500+ CR Net value usually have tightly knitted elite circles. They don't have to advertise that way.”

According to some comments, it was a trick to get a groom of similar status. “The stereotype is real and the Marwari/Gujarati man who they are looking for their daughter would probably be loaded without even having to set an income filter,” someone noted.

Last year Uttar Pradesh went a wedding advertisement of a 26-year-old 'investor' from Meerut, viral for some unique claims. He claimed that he earned RS 29 Lakh per year, adding his income was “coherent” by 54%every year.
The advertisement emphasized the physical appearance and the caste of the man, but quickly took an unexpected turn, so that the focus shifted to its financial references. The man would be active on the Indian stock market and claimed to have a self -proof and autodidactic method to grow his income with an extraordinary rate.
It didn't stop there. To ensure potential competitions of the safety and stability of his profession, he also offered to share a PowerPoint presentation in which he describes his approach to 'Safe Investing', and how it makes him 'financially independent'.
The advertisement also claimed that a presentation with a 16 slide would be sent via WhatsApp to everyone who was interested in learning how his unique method made him financially independent.
