About

Hello there,

I’m Jack, Jack of all trades. My name is Utkarsha Sood. Here is a brief introduction about me:

I am currently pursuing graduate studies in Neuroscience. Having multiple interests is my superpower. I love science (majorly biology) and tech. I also have a keen interest in programming. Besides that, I am super interested in personal finance and long-term investment. Elegant fashion trends also excite me.

Before telling you about the purpose of this website, let me share my backstory:

As a kid, I always wondered why only poor people get affected during times of crisis, be it war or natural calamities. Whenever there are floods, droughts, or pandemics, the first to suffer are the less privileged or middle-class families. But why?

One day, I asked my father about this, and he said, “Sab power ka khel hai beta” (It’s all about power, my dear), and this stuck in my head. That day I knew that I wanted this power.

I initially thought that power meant “paisa” (money), which might be somewhat true. Is it?

Edited: After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I realized that money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is Financial Education. 

Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth.

This was when I realized that money plays a very important role in our lives. From then on, I began to search more about personal finance and discovered long-term investment. Finally, it was my time to BUILD WEALTH BIG.

The Purpose of Build Wealth Big:

As I started my journey into long-term investment, I encountered several hurdles:

1. No Prior Knowledge: Coming from a completely different educational background (medical), I couldn’t find much content where things were explained from scratch. Moreover, I’m not that good with math, so I needed explanations for every calculation.
2. No Good Mentor: Nobody in my family had ever invested in the stock market. Whenever I tried to ask someone who had, they would think I was too young for this or that I should start earning first and then invest.

This left me with no option other than to learn about it from Google, YouTube, and reading books.

As a drawback of our education system, where we are taught about the world economy but not about how to manage our money, I strongly believe that “financial literacy” is important for teens and young adults. Therefore, I am going to provide all the insights you need as a beginner in personal finance and investment.

Note: We’ll not go into the depths of business or the functioning of the stock market; rather, we’ll learn how to leverage them and build wealth.

P.S. As I keep learning, I’ll share with you my sources of knowledge and inspiration. I’ll avoid using jargon and keep things as simple as possible. Lastly, while investing for your future don’t ever forget to invest in yourself.
