Four programmes. Pick the one that matches where you are.
Structured for every stage, from the money skills you should have been given at eighteen, to informed investing, to building something of your own.
Earning, borrowing, protecting and taxation, the full practical curriculum, taught from real statements, credit reports and policy documents.
1 day / 6-7 days
Funds, markets and the accounts underneath them, taught from live factsheets and real screens rather than from a glossary.
25 hours
Most businesses fail on the money, the sequencing and the founder’s judgement. Three days on those, using real founder cases.
1 day / 3 days
Four dense hours on what hiring actually looks like now, the resume, the profile, the interview and the salary conversation.
4 hours
Not sure which one? Tell us where you are and we will say so honestly, including when the answer is the cheaper one.
Us, a YouTube playlist, and a full-time MBA.
Three ways to learn this. They are good at different things, and one row below goes against us. We left it in because a comparison that flatters itself is worth nothing.

Practical Finance Lab
Every module ends with real calculations, reports, policies and case studies. Because knowing is not the same as doing.
Read a real CIBIL report
Each small group gets its own anonymised report. The stack is deep enough that nobody shares. Read it end to end and find the reason the application failed.
Compare two loan offers
Two real offers, one headline rate each. Apply the three-rule checkpoint: net-worth impact, transparent single-digit APR, EMI under 20% of take-home. Decide which is genuinely cheaper, and why the other looked it.
Cross-examine a policy
Two or three real policy documents. Circle the sub-limits, the co-pay percentage, the room-rent cap and the waiting period. Debrief the ones nobody spotted.
You rotate through all three stations, 15 minutes of work, 5 minutes comparing as a group, 5 minutes of debrief. You take the material home the same day.
Eight tracks. One method.
Four are structured programmes with dates and fees. The rest run as workshops and closed cohorts. All of them are taught the same way, real material, small rooms, and someone at the front who has done the job.
Understand your own money before somebody else explains it to you.
A written plan for your own income, and the confidence to read any statement.

Built for every stage of the journey.
The material is the same. The emphasis, the pace and the examples are not.

A credential that stands out on your resume.

Resume
A real, industry-relevant credential.
Something specific to show on your professional profile.
BFSI ready
A practical edge in placements and interviews.
Questions, answered properly.
Do I need a background in finance or commerce?
No. Every programme starts from zero and assumes no vocabulary. Students, freshers and working professionals sit in the same room and it works, because we teach from real documents rather than from theory.
What does it cost?
BFSI Basics is ₹3,999 for the day. BFSI Advance is ₹14,999 for the full 6-7 day programme, with limited seats. That fee rises to ₹24,999 for later batches. Founder Mindset is ₹4,999 for the one-day Explorer and ₹14,999 for the three-day Builder. Fees for Mutual Funds and Trading and for Career Ready are confirmed on enquiry. Every fee is inclusive: case materials, both assessments, the certificate, and lunch and coffee on teaching days.
Can you really teach this in one day?
Some of it. The one-day BFSI Basics covers borrowing, saving, insurance and tax well enough to stop you making expensive mistakes. It will not make you job-ready. That is what the 56-hour Advance programme is for. We would rather say so than sell you the short one as though it were the long one.
Do you guarantee a job?
No, and we would not trust anyone who does. Every provider promising total job assurance hedges it in their own small print. What we do offer is placement assistance: we hold a working list of BFSI employers who hire at entry level, we match your profile against what they are actually looking for, and we put you forward for interviews you are a genuine fit for. You still have to pass the interview. We prepare you for that with a recorded mock-interview lab and written feedback.
Who teaches?
Practitioners. Finance is led by Praveen Balasundar, ten years in lending and insurance, IRDAI, MDRT, COT and NISM certified. Seven more faculty lead the tracks they have worked in: mutual funds, trading, digital marketing and AI, career coaching, professional image, global education and career opportunities.
Is this online or in a classroom?
Classroom, at Rajajinagar in Bengaluru, with limited seats. The lab work does not survive translation to a webinar, so we do not run one. Closed cohorts run on your campus or at your office.
What is the Practical Finance Lab?
The part of every module where you stop listening and start working. Real anonymised CIBIL reports, real loan offers compared side by side, real policy documents cross-examined for sub-limits. Three stations, fifteen minutes each, then a debrief.
What is the assessment?
The same instrument, sat before your first session and after your last. You get both scores and the difference between them. It is the only figure we publish about ourselves.
Can you run this for our college or company?
Yes. Every programme runs as a closed cohort on campus or on site, with results reported back at cohort level. Colleges usually want awareness of the scams currently targeting students alongside the core material; employers usually want the debt-trap and investment-strategy sessions weighted heavier. Tell us the group and we will build it around them.
