Tarun Malhotra is an engineer at WealthPulse, an app where about 1.8 million people invest in mutual funds. A mutual fund is a pool of money from many people, invested together in shares or bonds. A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a fixed amount that is invested automatically on a chosen date every month.

- Calendar lookups
- Regulatory invariants
- Settlement business days
