About the class
What will I learn?
How inflation and interest affect your money, what equity, debt and gold are, how mutual funds and index funds work, how to think about risk, the basics of costs and tax, and common mistakes. See the full outline.
Do I need money invested to join?
No. You don't need a demat account, an app or any investments to take part.
When are classes?
Every Saturday, 3:00 to 4:00 pm IST, live on Zoom. Each class is one hour, with general Q&A.
Is it live or recorded?
Live on Zoom. We don't share recordings.
What language is it in?
English. Sometimes we also explain things in Hindi or Kannada.
What if I miss the class?
We don't share recordings. Email us before the class starts and we'll move you to a later Saturday. You can do this once.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. The class runs on Zoom, which works in the Zoom phone app.
Payment
How much does it cost?
₹199 for the class.
Why ₹199?
It keeps classes open to everyone.
How do I pay?
Online through Razorpay, including UPI, on the step after the sign-up form.
We never see your card number or UPI PIN.
Can I get a refund?
No, payments are non-refundable. You can move to a later Saturday once. See our refund and cancellation policy.
Will I get an invoice?
Razorpay emails you a payment receipt as soon as you pay.
Advice and safety
Is the class investment advice?
No. It is education only. We explain how things work so you can make your own decisions.
Do you recommend stocks?
No. We do not name individual stocks, we don't name funds to buy, and we don't make calls on the market.
Can I lose money investing?
Yes. All investing carries risk, including loss of capital. Anyone who says otherwise is a warning sign.
Can you look at my portfolio in the class?
No. The class stays general, because looking at your own investments would be personal advice. We can teach you how to review it yourself. For a private look at your situation, see the 1-1 sessions.
How do I spot an investment scam?
Be careful if anyone promises guaranteed or very high returns, rushes you to decide, asks you to pay into a personal account, or asks for your OTP, password or UPI PIN.
We will never do any of these.
1-1 sessions
What is the 1-1 session, and what does it cost?
A private video session to look at your situation with a professional's eye, followed by a short written summary. It costs ₹3,000. 1-1 sessions open soon; you can register your interest.
Unlike the class, the 1-1 session focuses on personal advice for your own situation. It lasts one hour, with our founder, a CFA Charterholder. Feel free to ask anything.

Do you earn commission on any products?
No. We don't earn commissions from any financial product, and we have no affiliate links or paid partnerships.
How do you choose what to teach?
We start with the questions first-time investors ask most, then explain the idea underneath each one.
