Both editions carry exactly the same 17 chapters and examples — only the language differs. दोनों किताबों की सामग्री एक जैसी है, सिर्फ़ भाषा अलग है।
What readers are saying
4.8 out of 5 from verified buyers across India, in both editions.
★★★★★Aa English
I had a Demat account for two years and still didn't know what I was doing. The chapter on reading financials finally made P/E and ROE click for me. Wish I had this before my first trade.

हिंदी वाली किताब पढ़कर पहली बार सब कुछ साफ़ समझ आया। SIP और म्यूचुअल फंड वाला अध्याय पढ़ने के बाद मैंने ₹3,000 महीने की SIP शुरू की।

The taxation chapter alone was worth the price. STCG, LTCG and loss set-off explained with examples — my CA asked me where I read it.

I bought both editions — English for myself, Hindi for my father. He is 62 and had never invested. Last month he opened his first Demat account on his own.

Short and to the point — I finished it in two sittings. Would have liked a few more chart examples in the technical analysis chapter, but excellent for a beginner.

टेलीग्राम की टिप्स के चक्कर में मैंने काफ़ी नुकसान किया था। रिस्क मैनेजमेंट वाला अध्याय पढ़ने के बाद अब हर निवेश सोच-समझकर करता हूँ।

VerifiedQuestions before you buy
What's the difference between the English and Hindi eBooks?+
Only the language. Both editions have the same 17 chapters, the same examples and the same end-of-chapter FAQs. Buy the one you read most comfortably in — or take both at the discounted price if someone at home prefers Hindi.
क्या हिंदी किताब में भी वही सामग्री है?+
हाँ। हिंदी संस्करण में भी वही 17 अध्याय, वही उदाहरण और वही सवाल-जवाब हैं — सिर्फ़ भाषा अलग है। दाम भी दोनों का एक ही है।
Do I need any prior knowledge?+
None at all. The book starts from what a share is and builds up gradually. If you can read this page, you can read this book.
How do I receive the eBook?+
As soon as your payment succeeds, a download link is emailed to you and appears in your account on this site. It's a PDF you can open on a phone, tablet, laptop or Kindle app.
Can I switch language after buying?+
Each purchase covers the edition you chose. If you'd like the other language too, buy it separately, or pick the both-editions option which costs less than two single copies.
Will it give me stock tips or buy calls?+
No. This is educational content, not advisory. It teaches you how to evaluate a company yourself so you don't have to depend on anybody's calls.
Is the content updated for current Indian rules?+
Yes, the 2026 edition reflects current SEBI processes, market timings, IPO application methods and the prevailing capital gains structure. Buyers get free access to future revisions.
Which payment methods can I use?+
UPI, debit and credit cards, net banking and popular wallets — all through a secure payment gateway.
