As a child in school days I always used to wonder why we are not being taught about finances. All the other subjects were being taught accept on how to earn and manage your finance better.

As eventually everything comes back to money. People study, people go to school in order to learn and develop their skills so that they can earn more money so that they can live a better life.

I think it is one of the basic skill that is a must for everyone. If not an expert everyone should at least have the basic knowledge and understanding about money and its management.

But the question comes back to why we are not taught in school about how to manage our finance?

We all have these basic question about —

How Do I start Investing?

So from Where do I start learning?

I don’t know when the education system will start implementing this but if you want to learn and you don’t know where to start then this blog posts for you.

What is Zerodha Varsity ?

Zerodha Varsity Home page

Zerodha Varsity by far the best place that I has seen till now on internet that gives you quality free content regarding investing in Indian stock market.

Zerodha platform is really good for trading and investing in stocks and Direct Mutual Funds, they are the first zero brokerage platform in India.

Anyone who wants to learn investing I think should start with Zerodha Varsity.

The content on varsity is really good . It provides you with the basic’s of investing from the beginner to the expert level step by step.

Best part is the complex subject of finance is explained in a simplified way for general understanding.

There are overall 10 different modules including several chapters that explains each and every topic with example in detail.

Even a person who doesn’t know anything about investing will find it very comfortable to understand.

All the modules can be downloaded offline in PDF form.

The best part of varsity is that it doesn’t only teaches you the technicality and fundamentals of investing rather it gives us overall scenario of the whole process of business and taxation and other related things that a person must have basic knowledge.

And I think to understand investing its really important to understand the overall business perspective.

For example one of the modules explains — How a business starts from scratch and how it goes public. Each and every step have been explained to give you a broader perspective of the overall investment.

Varsity even has a module to give you an overview of taxation in India so that gives you a better perspective how to manage your money.

Talking about technicalities and calculation most of the calculations are provided in the template format in excel sheet which you download for free and can be used for your calculation so all you need to do is understand it and apply it so it takes very less time to implement what you just learned.

This way you learn quickly and with less effort.

Till now I haven’t found any other good content than varsity either on YouTube or Google that is available for free so if you are starting or want to start investing and learn more about money I would suggest better go with Varsity.

You might be overwhelmed by seeing the number of chapters in the varsity but I would suggest to go slow take it one step at a time read half an hour to 1 hour daily.

And try to apply whatever you learn parallely with your own investment.

If you want to start trading in Indian stock market. Open an account with Zerodha.

Everything can done online, even the e KYC verification and you can get your account activated within 2 to 3 days.

Go for Zerodha Varsity.

Start Learning. Happy Investing.

Thanks for reading. Do share your views and comment.
