Stop Learning Tools You'll Forget. Learn This Instead
I'm going to say something that will probably upset a few data analysts scrolling LinkedIn right now: knowing SQL and Python isn't enough anymore. Neither is Tableau. Neither is anything else you learned from a ₹15,000 online course last year. Here's why I'm saying this in January 2025, sitting in my Morningstar office overlooking the Mumbai…

ChatGPT Won't Replace Your Job, But Someone Using It Will
Six months ago, I was sitting on the 8:15 AM local train from Kalyan to Dadar, scrolling through LinkedIn like everyone else, and I saw something that made me genuinely uncomfortable. A colleague at Morningstar had posted: "Used ChatGPT to write my entire quarterly report. Saved 12 hours. Delivered yesterday." My first reaction? Panic. My second? Sk…

By the end of the month, I had ₹8,000 left. No investments. No emergency fund. Just ... gone. The worst part? I couldn't tell you where it went. That's when…

Three Years of Watching RBI Decisions Before I Actually Understood What They Meant
For the longest time, I treated RBI rate decisions like weather forecasts — something that existed, something people talked about on CNBC at 2 PM, but nothing that actually touched my life. I had money in a savings account earning 3% interest. I had an SIP running in a Nifty 50 fund. I checked CRED for cashback. Life was fine. Then came the rate hikes of 20…

Your Credit Score Isn't Magic — It's a Habit
I ignored my credit score for three years. Not completely ignored — I knew it existed, the way you know your car needs an oil change but keep driving anyway. I was making decent money at Morningstar, paying my credit card bills on time (mostly), and I figured that was enough. Why obsess over a three-digit number when I had bigger goals — an emergency fund, …
