04Questions

About Path 01.

What does Path 1, Market Foundations, cover?

Path 1 covers how Indian markets work: BSE, NSE, SEBI and depositories, how to read stock data and financial statements, how Nifty 50 and Sensex work as benchmarks, and how orders, brokerage, STT and capital gains tax apply to a trade.

Do I need any investing experience to start Path 1?

No. Path 1 is the Beginner path and starts from what you own when you buy a share and how the exchanges are organised. Every path is self-contained, but Paths 1 and 2 give the vocabulary used across the rest of the curriculum.

Where do I learn to read financial statements in Path 1?

Module 1.4, Reading Financial Statements, covers the P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and key ratios. It follows Module 1.2 on stock data and comes before Module 1.5 on orders, costs and taxation.
