I Bought a ₹6 Share and Learned the Hard Way: Building FinEd Saathi in 10 Days
TL;DR: A trader learns the hard way about hidden costs and ledger details, then creates FinEd Saathi, a voice-based financial literacy tutor, during a 10-day program. The core lesson is understanding brokerages, taxes, and where numbers come from in trading apps.
The author bought a ₹6 share and later noticed an unexplained ₹50 deduction, realizing they didn’t understand brokerage, taxes, or how broker app numbers are computed. This inspired FinEd Saathi, a voice-first financial literacy tutor developed during the VoiceForBharat edition of 10 Days of Voice Agents. The project aims to educate users on the true costs of trading and how to interpret financial app data. It emphasizes practical financial literacy over quick trades and highlights the importance of transparency in trading platforms.
Question for the room: What practical steps have you taken to ensure you understand all costs shown by a trading app before making a trade?
