WHAT'S INSIDE THE KIT
Three chapters. Everything that usually takes months to piece together.
01
Finance Career Paths
The real roles — IB, ER, PE, consulting, corporate finance — what each actually does day to day, and the India-first entry routes to reach them.
02
Valuation Basics
29 valuation multiples explained in plain language — what each measures, when analysts reach for it, and how to read one without getting lost.
03
Reading & Frameworks
How to read a deal or a company like an analyst — a curated reading list and the mental models that turn headlines into understanding.
48 pages. Built India-first — INR, lakhs and crores, Indian firms and entry routes. Designed to be read, not skimmed.
