BEFORE YOU SCROLL ANY FURTHER…
So, listen..
I’ve created this site because I couldn’t find the one I needed – non-hype, unpretentious, simple, and filled with occasional “bitter-medicine” truths.
The educational posts will explain things in the simplest possible terms. Terms so simple that your neighborhood kid – the one that rings your bell and runs away – could understand if you read them to him (provided you catch him first).
Tyler Durden made me take a close, hard look at my entire life. It benefited me greatly. So, every once in a while, I’d love for you to analyze your financial choices and ask one question – “Will it make my life better?“ If yes, go ahead and do it. If no, then screw that and do something else. Do not be afraid to challenge and reject anyone when it doesn’t serve your purpose.
“This is your life, and you’re building it one decision at a time.” – Rephrasing Tyler Durden again

Investment Products
Products are supposed to solve problems. But we have more than we need. Result? Confusion, choice paralysis, regret. Sounds familiar? This section will help you cut the noise and decide what’s right for you.
Investing Maths
Yes, maths. It all boils down to numbers in the end. Numbers clarify, but only if you understand them well.If you don’t, it’s easy to fool you or confuse you. Your only choice? Get better with them! Sorry, but no middle ground here.
Other Things
Think taxation, planning, investing biases, selecting an advisor, and so on. The stuff that you need to look at quarterly, annually or maybe only once your life. But understand this – less frequent does not mean less importance.

About Prathamesh
I am an IIM Bangalore alumnus. I was wealth manager for some of the riches HNI-UHNI families in India. Then I decided to venture out on my own to bring that expertise for everyday Indians. I am working to make highest-grade investment advisory accessible to every Indian. IMO the lesser the welath someone has, the more they can benefit from professional guidance. I like to write and talk about everything finace - investing, insurance, debt management, behavioral finance and so on. When I am not writing, I am making educational videos. And when I am not doing that either, I am catching up with the lates comedy or thriller shows and movies.
