Introducing Rupee Tales

December 26, 2016

Traders/Investors,

I know with whatever little experience that two things govern success in the capital markets  being well informed about the industry and having the ability to make decisions without letting emotions get the better of you. We have – through VarsityTrading Q&A, and other initiatives – tried to provide quality financial education to everyone looking for it.

I’ve always wondered; what if we could reverse time and start when we were younger – much younger? If only we had the right initiation into the world of finance at an early age, it could probably have added so much to our abilities today. With this in mind, we looked for books and material that introduced basic finance to young minds, but found none, to our dismay. This is what led us to creating Rupee Tales – a set of five books that introduce the basics of finance to kids through simple stories they can relate to. The idea originated when Karthik’s (also the mind behind Varsity) daughter Meera kept questioning him about his job.

Each book deals with a specific theme that is presented with an engaging story line, peppered with lively characters and vibrant illustrations that captivate the young minds. The topics discussed in the five books are :-

  1. Savings Anu Learns to Save – This simple story explains the importance of saving money regularly, from a very early age in life.
  2. Banking & Inflation Mani’s Money – This story explains the concept of inflation, banking, and the need to deposit money in a savings account. The understanding of these concepts could lay a foundation to the idea of saving money in a financial instrument.
  3. Taxation Vishrambu’s bus journey – A responsible citizen pays his share of taxes to the government. Taxes are an important part of our financial lives. In line with this, the story explains the concept of tax, and why one needs to pay them.
  4. Insurance One and a Half stories – This story introduces the concept of insurance, and explains why it makes sense to get one.
  5. Stock Market The Cake Shop – This story is about the stock market. It explains how a company can raise money from the stock market to expand its business. The story also explains how an investor can benefit by investing his money in a business via the stock market

This is not an attempt to teach kids to trade 🙂 but rather familiarize them to topics that are related to ‘Financial Inclusion’, which is pivotal to the cashless and paperless economy India is yearning for.  A large part of the dream of financial inclusion for all is dependent on how the younger generation adopts it.

All stories have been written by Karthik and I hope that you and your family enjoy reading them, as much as we enjoyed creating them for you.

Since there is a cost to print and courier, we have priced the set of 5 books for Rs 470. You can order them from www.rupeetales.com. They’d be a great gifting choice this holiday season if you have kids around you.

Happy reading,

Founder & CEO @ Zerodha

    Thanks

  39. Pradeep Rawat says:

    Dear Sir,

    I have one major point regarding Zerodha, as i am new with the Zerodha and I love the Technology which you provide but point is:

    1. There is No Margin for Delivery or Carrying the stock which is a major flaw, I feel There should also some margin as you provide in Intraday. You can charge interest as other broker charged but atleast provide it first, its helpful some time to convert the position from intraday to Delivery.

  40. umesh kaushik says:

    HI
    Are there any plans to introduce GTD and GTC orders?

  41. dineshg says:

    Its been nice experience so far to invest and trade through Zerodha.
    I have below query –
    – How can I put VWAP as buying stoploss? The idea is not to put a fixed stoploss but a changing stoploss based on VWAP. Other trading platforms support this. But I couldn’t figure out how to do in Zerodha. Please help me

  42. Priyanka S. says:

    Awesome website!!! Really one of the best equity trading experience. Very well done and surely you have broken all kinds of barriers in trading. Gr8 luck ahead 🙂

  43. Sourabh says:

    Hello,
    Is there an option where I can get notified when my order gets executed but when I am outside the app.
    Like we do get a notification when we receive a message on whatsapp, when I don’t have whatsapp opened!! 🙂

  44. Sonesh says:

    Hello Nitin,
    I have been using Zerodha for three months now. It’s a great platform so first of all I would like to congratulate for this initiative. Second I would like to bring your attention to a very critical factor which can take customers away from Zerodha which is IPO. I applied for BSE IPO and got one lot. I was not able to see the allotment unless listing day whereas in SBI Cap which I was using earlier I was able to see it a day before listing. Second thing is that on listing day Over the Android Kite application this BSE IPO holding was showing as Unknown script due to which I could not sell it and ended up losing 130 points on each share.

  45. Ravi says:

    Hi Nitin
    Thanks for this initiative- i ordered the book the moment i received SMS from Zerodha however there is no communication/order confirmation and delivery of books to me so far and its been more than two weeks for sure.
    I have written an mail to you and [email protected] today morning. please help to sort out this issue.

    Ravi Pagar

    • Hi Ravi,

      Thanks for ordering the books.

      Your payment went through but unfortunately the details were not captured on our order logs, hence we never dispatched the books to you. Apologies for that.

      However, we are dispatching the books today via Blue dart. You will soon receive an email with freight details. Thanks.

  46. SOUVIK SARKAR says:

    Pl provide me the shipping status for my payment Id :pay_74HMOX5sRW877q ordered on 7th of this month.

  47. Sudeep says:

    This sounds amazing! I’ll be ordering one for my nephew who is turning 10. Do you think it would reach Bhopal by Feb 1 if I ordered today? Also, do you think it will be suitable for a 13 year old or will it be too simple for him?

  48. Aniruddha Kulkarni says:

    Hello Nithin/Venu,
    I had ordered books, got it and We liked it very much. Thank you for this initiative. My daughter reads the books daily. The pictures inside the books are very appealing to kids.

    Best Regards

    My daughter is 9 years old. Can I order this for her

  56. Virendra Nirmalkar says:

    Hi, is this E-Book or Printed Book?

  57. LALIT LODHA says:

    Not recvd any communication for order ID- pay_70yhDfeP5kc0XH.

  58. Vijay says:

    I paid for the book on 4-Jan-2017 using Olamoney and my Payment Id is “pay_70nengqdfwoWDX”.

    Thanks for your initiative and hope the book would be great!

    Anyhow, I wanted to give feedback regarding my experience with this transaction.

    After the payment, I got an SMS saying my wallet is linked to Razorpay and an email from Razorpay saying the payment is successful. Either the SMS or the email do not contain any details about what I paid for.

    I expected an email / SMS from you after the order is confirmed with expected delivery date and whom to contact if something goes wrong. As a Zerodha customer I am aware where to contact. What about If someone who is unaware of Zerodha lands on that page and orders a book?

    This transaction looks me very unprofessional from a highly professional organization. Hope you will take care to avoid such a bad experience in future.

    You may like to send an email for all the customers whose orders may be pending with you right now. 🙂

    • Venu says:

      Thank you for the feedback Vijay, We’ve passed it on to the concerned team here at Zerodha. We’ll send out an email acknowledging the receipt of the order. Meanwhile your order has been shipped on 04.01.2017 through Professional couriers, reference number: BLR387928533

      • Anjaneya Mhatre says:

        Quote: “This transaction looks me very unprofessional from a highly professional organization.”

        Exactly my thoughts. I ordered the books on 27th Dec. Apart from a transaction related mail from Team Razorpay, no confirmation of the order, when it will be shipped, where to track, contact for grievance redressal. The books are yet to be delivered.
        I opened a ticket by mailing Zerodha Support and apart from the automated reply there has been no update.
        Ticket #725588.
        Pay Id: pay_6xq0C3v2VliKzF

        I had recommended this book set to my colleagues who are not familiar with Zerodha. Most of them trade with other well-known (but expensive and trader-unfriendly) platforms and are hesitant about switching to Zerodha. Fortunately, none of them have taken my advice and ordered this book set yet and I have been saved from the embarrasment! Such bad experiences with something as simple as delivery of books are not going to help Zerodha’s reputation in a positive way. If you want the Zerodha name to be associated with this initiative, please ensure that the process is as professional and customer-friendly as I have come to expect from Team Zerodha.
        Regards

        • Venu says:

          Hi Anjaneya,

          We’ve started sending out acknowledgement emails and tracking details for the orders. Sorry for not doing it earlier. You can ask your colleagues to order copies and maybe refer them to switch to Zerodha as well 🙂 I’ll share details of your shipment by tomorrow morning.

      • Sachin says:

        Hi,
        I am yet to receive the shipment. Although the courier has arrived at Pune Thergaon office on 4th Jan, which is just 2 kms away from my house, the delivery has not happened. I had registered complaint (CRM156157) on the courier site, but did not receive any response for the same. I had called the local office no also several times, but they take all the information and mention that they will call back. After that the same story. I have done enough follow-up with the courier and don’t see any resolution. I don’t want to waste further time and energy on this.
        Please cancel the order and refund the amount at the earliest. Hope you will tie up with some good courier service in future.
        Thanks,
        Sachin

  64. Ritesh says:

    Learning from varisty, expected much more regarding the quality of knowledge from these illustrated books. But I am sorry to say Nitin the books are not worth it. I was excited to gift them but they doesn’t seems much useful. And compared to the cost per book, definetly not worth.

    • Hi Ritesh,

      Sorry to hear that.

      I guess your expectations from these books were different. The idea is to familiarise kids to basic financial concepts and not really educate them thoroughly. There is only so much you can do with a 7+ year old child.

  65. Rahul Badyal says:

    Dear Sir,

    I just opened a new account. I received my login credentials. But when I wanted to trade I saw that only NSE and BSE segments are enabled in my account. I checked in Pi as well as in Kite.

    In the account opening forms I have ticked and signed on all the segments including F&O and commodities as well as CDs.

    Could you please enable these segments in my account. My login ID is ZZ0284

    Thanking you,

    Yours truly,
    Rahul Badyal

    • Venu says:

      Hi Rahul,
      You’ll need to provide an income proof to trade in the derivative segment, looks like you missed out on sending this document. I’ll get someone from the account opening team to give you a call and get your derivative segment enabled.

  66. Vijay Kumar says:

    Nithin, first of all i would like to congratulate you for the great initiative.
    I understand your concerns converting these books into e-books, but can these be shipped to usa ? or in fact to any other country.

    I know it costs a lot to ship, but see if they can available in Amazon or ebay etc.

    Not just for these but in general if you are planning anything big.

    All the very best for another great start. ?

      You need an ISBN to sell on Amazon. We’re in the process of getting an ISBN for the publication. Will keep you posted.
      There’ll be additional charges for shipping to the US. If you’re alright, please send the address details to [email protected]

  91. Dilip says:

    Nice initiative!!. Five book sets reminds me of Panchtantra for children imparting them worldly knowledge in simplfied form. Now the Investment basics, could also be imparted in simple stories making them simple to understand.

  92. Swaminathan says:

    Great Initiative. Sure it will be helpful to educate kids on basics of finance and money.

  93. Ranjan says:

  97. Ashesh Bharadwaj says:

    Hi,

    That’s a great initiative. Can you please tell me these books are for which age group of kids?

    The preview is insufficient to get an idea about the content of the book. It would be great if one can see preview of the books (maybe a few pages like amazon preview or sample pdf).

  98. Narendra says:

    CAN YOU SHARE THE PREFACE /Introduction of each books atleast.So that we can have a idea before purchasing it

  99. NARASIMHA REDDY says:

    Very good initiative.Might be an Indian series of “Rich dad Poor dad”.But it would have been great,if they were available as ebooks.I want to know as to whether they would be available as ebooks and only after confirmation that they are not going to be available , I want to order.Please let me know.

    • Nikhil A says:

      Hi Narsimha,

      No plans of making these available as e-books. We felt that it would be better for children to hold the real book while reading it. Electronic devices come with a lot of distractions.

      Also, what e-book can beat the feel of a book? 🙂

  100. Ramesh Ande says:

    Wow… Just now I ordered those books… Let me go through it first to educate my Kids 🙂

  101. SUBRATA says:

    is there available of pdf copy?

  102. Ram T K says:

    Nice initiative… Do we have a kindle or e book version please…Expectations high as it is coming from Mr Kamath 🙂

  103. Dr Urs says:

    Ordered. Bet it will be good.

  104. HEMANT says:

    THANK YOU NITIN SIR.

  105. SHANKAR says:

    You guys really are great! a kind of service-oriented(social) approach to financial business. Keep up the good work!

  106. VIJAY BUTANI says:

    nice initiative by zerodha

  107. Nitul Bhatia says:

    Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Stocks sometimes take years to mature. The stock market is a voting machine in the short term, a weighing machine in the long term (7 to 10 years).

  108. BISWAJIT DAS says:

    Dear Team

  112. Mithun says:

    Dear Nithin, This is infact a need of the hour. I have been wondering how the kids, youngsters and adults will understand the importance of savings and investments in a fun filled manner. Mr.Rober T Kiyosaki has given many good examples of Finance education. But if you could provide the kids with this fun filled thought provoking stories, it would be really great. Congrats to your team behind this !

  113. SUBODH MISHRA says:

    Thanks and congratulations for a beautiful idea.I love people who think and make efforts in nation building with integrity and honesty.

    MY BEST WISHES

  114. Anil says:

    Also please let me know if you have books or documentation on taxation as well.

  115. Srikanth Komma says:

    Amazing initiative. These topics are not taught in schools. By creating “Rupee Tales” you filled the gap.

    • S S Dahale says:

      yes, These subjects MUST be incorporated in educational curriculum in Post 10th / SSC / or at junior College level.

  116. Vijayananth says:
