Imagine that for three years, your other half had been hiding more than 58,60000.00 Rupees from you. Could you do the same thing? Jyoti, a mother of two from Indore, put her marriage and her family in jeopardy by keeping a shocking secret from her husband for three years. Jyoti and Avinash Mehta got married in 2004 after a few years of dating. Avinash Mehta is an engineer, and Jyoti works at the reception of a local clinic. After the birth of their first child in 2008, they decided that Jyoti would give up her job to stay home and look after him. Productive sectors of the economy were hit hard by the global financial crisis in 2008. Fortunately, Avinash Mehta didn't lose his job, but he had to work overtime and decrease his salary significantly in order to help his company survive. "My husband could take care of our family's basic needs, but I could see how exhausted his work was making him. We tried to save as much as possible, but we still didn't have enough money" told Jyoti. "We couldn't imagine what our future would be like. The market recovered somewhat, but then began falling again. I was pregnant with our second child at the time – we were just praying that everything would be okay.

One evening, some time after the birth of their second child, Jyoti saw an ad on Facebook about working from home, which promised earnings of more than 58000/- Rupees a day. She was intrigued. She followed the link to find out more about the job. "There were a lot of positive user reviews about this ad, so I felt safe signing up. It wasn't a get-rich-quick scheme by some fraudsters forcing into trade in order to make a living. If they'd suggested selling products, I wouldn't have signed up", she said. Working on the internet from home has become a major global trend, and the wave of popularity has reached India.

Olymp Trade is a system that allows people to earn money by, for example, forecasting the growth or fall of currency exchange rates. All you need to do to gain access is fill out a short online form. I was very nervous when I used the platform for the first time. I'm no computer expert, but they do teach us some very useful things. All I know is how to search for things on the internet, and that's all. I didn't wantlike my husband to feel he couldn't provide for his family."

At the beginning of last year, Avinash Mehta lost his job. When Jyoti saw what a blow this was to her husband, she decided that the time had come to tell him what she'd been doing every day. She went to the bank and withdrew the money from her secret account that had been building up for more than three years. By that time, there was already more than 58,00,000/- Rupees. "Jyoti sat beside me and told me that she'd been hiding something from me, that she was ashamed," told Avinash Mehta. "Then she took out her bank statement from her pocket and gave it to me. The statement showed her name, the sum of 58,63,670/- Rupees and the official seal of the bank. At first I didn't believe it, but then she told me about Olymp Trade."

"He didn't say anything at first. I thought he'd get angry and ask for a divorce. But then he started crying and hugging me. I told him that I felt ashamed and guilty, but he said that he felt relieved, that his prayers for a solution to our money problems had been answered," tells Jyoti. "My prayers had been answered too. We started over again from nothing and earned 45000/- Rupees a day. Avinash Mehta and Jyoti's story was widely shared in local media, including on blogs and in the news. When we found out about it, we wasted no time asking them if we could publish this information here in our report about local employment. We asked Jyoti to give some exclusive advice to our readers: "I don't recommend keeping secrets from your other half, and if you find a good source of income, get started with it right away."
