Teaching finance and markets online with Varsity Live
I think we’ve finally found a way to teach finance and markets online with both quality and scale with Varsity Live.
We’ve had 2.3 lakh registrations so far, with about 3,000 new people signing up every week. By the way, this Sunday, the 23rd, we’re hosting a finance boot camp for kids. Most of this is a result of people discovering Varsity Live and sharing it with their friends and family.
For almost 12 years now, since we started Varsity, we’ve gotten the same question: what’s the agenda? Why no advertising? Why not collect emails and mobile numbers? Why no spam or push notifications nudging people to trade?
We’ve (most of them by Karthik Rangappa 😀) answered lakhs of questions over the years—first through the website, then videos, and now live sessions. But the answer to that question has always been simple: to share whatever we know and play our part in spreading financial literacy among Indians.
Plus, we’re lucky to be in a position to build all of this without expecting something in return. 🙂
