1. I guess for learning finance stuff I would prefer an interactive website with a lot of simple as well as real world examples.

2. Mutual funds and SIP. People hear a lot about them but never grasp the concept. I personally was introduced to these terms a month ago.

Hey I'm the other founder of Finac :) I love your suggestions!

We agree that incorporating real world examples would really make learning finance a lot more relatable and easier to understand.

Regarding the second point, we ourselves got heavily into Finance over a year ago and the on boarding process was very time consuming for someone who hasn't had a formal education in finance. We were really frustrated that despite financial education being so essential, a lot of it is very convoluted.
