13 years in the making

I registered a company in 2011.
Teaching is something that I had loved all through the years and I knew that someday, I would end up doing it as a daily affair.
I just didn't know when.

I started creating content online in 2017.
Stepped down as the CEO of my startup in 2019; figuring out what to do next.
March 2020 happened - all of us were locked up in our houses.
And it was during this period that I started teaching online.

My first online session had 35 students.
Last week, WebVeda, the company I registered in 2011, touched 400,000 enrolled students.
Generating ~50Cr of revenue so far.
While offering self-paced, comprehensive, affordable, and 100% refundable courses to students who wish to learn.

An idea 13 years in the making.

Do not confuse starting slow as starting small.

Book I am reading this week

​

Finished reading "The Courage to be Happy".
Just as hard-hitting as the first one in the Courage series. But not recommended if you haven't read the first one yet - "The Courage to be Disliked".
I feel reading philosophy is the most powerful way of figuring out life.

​

My latest book, Make Epic Money, has sold 1,15,000+ copies in India with a 4.4+ rating.
It is the simplest book I know on personal finance, while I am extremely biased when I say this :))
You can buy it in Hindi, English, Marathi, Audio, and Kindle here.

Here is an alphabetical list of all books I have shared in this newsletter so far.

Question of the week

How do you feel about this year's India budget?

• Not good
• Good
• Indifferent
• Haven't tracked; don't care

(and see the results of others, too)

​

Results of last week's question

Most people do not actively track the budget - but it becomes more active as we age. Maybe it's because the decisions affect us a lot more at a later age, when our incomes hit the tax thresholds, lol!
​My response
​I track it somewhat once it's done. Not actively for sure :)

3 pics from last week

Had a lovely book event last week in Chennai, at the Ramanujan Intellion Park by Tata Realty.
With the Tata Realty team here.

It is such a surreal feeling to have all your 3 books on the best-selling charts, nearly 3 years after the launch of the first one :)

Just finished an awesome session at the Honeywell Annual Tech Summit in Bangalore. Writing this newsletter from the airport, waiting to board my flight :))

​
2 quotes I wish to share

Attach yourself to your growth. Not to your start.

​

If we are willing to admit faults, that is one less fault to admit!

1 new thing I learnt this week

If the average IQ of every country were to be ranked, South Korea would be at the top with a score of 107.5, followed by China (106.9), followed by (surprise, surprise) Iran with a score of 106.8.
India is ranked #22 with an average IQ score of 99.3.
Wow! Had no idea.
