New Delhi (India), March 6: In the past few years, there has been a rise of “Finfluencers” -financial influencers - across all social media platforms. Our feeds have been filled with an overwhelming amount of options and opinions. Given the sheer volume of creators who share their financial tips and tricks, it has become quite a task to find sound advice in the haystack.
It is best to consume finance content that is based on facts and research, rather than anecdotal tips and tricks. Everyone has different financial situations and needs. Gaining an understanding of the market helps everyone find solutions according to their personal situations and promotes awareness in all strata. To understand money and the market, we need a proper educational structure. Financial Education is the necessary foundation and is required to understand the content on social media, and the jargon in the stock market and will help you shape your wealth plan.
Sanjay Jaswani, a decorated author and economist, echoes the above sentiment and is a huge advocate for financial education in India. He has taken social media by storm. His Instagram account @financewithsanjay (previously: @author_sanjay) has gained over 4 lakh followers on Instagram. His background as a successful economist sets him apart from the majority of finfluencers; Jaswani creates content based on facts, and doesn’t solely rely on personal experience as a source for content.
Sanjay Jaswani has been in the field of Economics and education for a long time and has had an illustrious career in economics. He was nominated for the Padmashri Award and is the recipient of the International Icon Award (2022), Excellent Educationist Award (2020), Best Tutor of the Year Award ( 2021), and the Knowledge Award by Air India. His work has been recognised by the United Nations and he has authored the Amazon bestseller ‘How To Avoid Loss and Make Money While Sleeping in Stock Market’.
Recently, one of his reels caused a stir on social media. In the short video, he explained the ins and outs of the GST Composition Scheme in relation to restaurants and dining out. He explained, “As per GST rules, if any person having a GSTIN (Gst number) under Composition Scheme (Presumptive tax on sales basis), they can't collect any GST from customers.”. The reel was shared across social media and several accounts reposted Sanjay’s reel and remade it as well.
His commitment towards educating the common man about finances comes from a deeply personal place. He says, “I come from very humble beginnings, and money was an ever-present issue during my childhood and early adulthood. We heard about plenty of schemes and tricks that helped others gain money, but we were never shown a clear path to success. One thing worked for someone, while it didn't do anything for someone else. The disparity and hit-and-trial methods compelled me to find answers. I came into the field of Economics to learn about the mechanics of money, so I can get to the root of the problem and find universal solutions based on the fundamentals of wealth.”
He has identified the stock market as the key to long-term success and has dedicated his platform towards educating laymen about it and opening opportunities for trading to them.
Regular people like you and I, harbour great hesitations about trading and the stock market. We fear uncertainty and losses. According to Sanjay Jaswani, this hesitation is understandable but ultimately keeps us from unlocking our financial potential. To address this issue and help the common man dip his toes in the market, Sanjay Jaswani has introduced the “Safest Investments” Course.
The “Safest Investment" is a beginner-friendly introduction to the trading market; the course is self-paced and breaks down the complexities of the market into understandable simple terms. The highlight of the course is its emphasis on safe investment options. Through this course, Jaswani hands us a guide to identifying safe investment options and risk assessment.
Beginning with investments in safe options is a great way to get started and find our footing.
Sanjay Jaswani’s emphasis has always been on financial independence and through his courses he empowers the common man to take control of their finances and shield themselves against unnecessary losses. Through this course, he has made a gold mine of information available to everyone and has handed us the recipe to finding success in the market.
