Learn the market from first principles.
Original, India-first lessons written from scratch — plain language, no tips, no hype. From what a share is to reading a business, valuation, risk, macro and technical analysis.
Beginner
Start here — no prior knowledge needed.Intermediate
Build real analytical skill.Reading a business like an owner
The three financial statements without the accountant's frown — what they really tell you about whether a company makes money, survives bad years, and deserves your capital.
Valuation without the jargon
What 'expensive' and 'cheap' really mean. P/E, P/B and the mental models behind them — used as questions, not magic numbers.
Risk, position sizing & your own brain
Most portfolios aren't ruined by bad stocks — they're ruined by bad behaviour. Sizing, diversification, and the biases that quietly drain returns.
Technical analysis I: charts & price action
Technical analysis is the study of how price and volume actually behave — a record of crowd psychology, not a crystal ball. Used honestly it can tilt the odds in your favour; used as prophecy it will quietly empty your account.
Advanced
Macro, markets and technicals.The macro picture & the Indian market
Interest rates, inflation, the rupee, the RBI and the budget — how the big levers move every stock you own, with an India-first lens.
Instruments beyond stocks
Mutual funds, ETFs, bonds and a sober look at derivatives — what each is for, and what each can do to you.
Technical analysis II: indicators, systems & risk
Indicators are just arithmetic performed on price — useful lenses for seeing structure, never crystal balls. The real edge isn't a magic setting; it's a defined process and ruthless risk control.
